monk


http://www.alansondheim.org/byeeeeb.mp4

itinerant priest, after ascetic and monk seemed too out of sorts. Went to
Daishin Nikuko and another monk were taking a pilgrimage. They came to a
danger trying to ford the torrent. She and the other monk approach,
continued onward for some distance. Towards evening, the other monk said
'From the birth of Daishin Nikuko came the blind monk killed by the mother
but the Diamond Sutra will save me.' The monk said, 'The Diamond Sutra has
brought it back to shore.' The monk said, On the other hand, we all make
way.' A monk passed by, laughing, and asked Nikuko, 'After all this play,
them'm' momonkey fly monk climb themem mymy body heated by iodinene
forest-dwelling monk. This monk perceived that he was seated.' The mad
mad monk replied: 'In the human order, no sooner do we perceive then
Daishin Nikuko and another monk take a pilgrimage. They came to a
danger trying to ford the torrent.' She and the other monk approached and
continued onward for some distance. Towards evening, the other monk said
'From the birth of Daishin Nikuko came the blind monk killed by the mother
a roc broke the silence. A monk walked in the distance, chanting.'

IT will be a monk who will tell the story, o julu
IT will be a monk who will tell the story,

this monk walking up. 'Where are you going?' one of the priests asked. 'To
all our sons.' The monk said, 'Thus we repeatedly give birth to ourselves
of the dead,' and the monk replied, 'From here throughout ministry is
possible.' The monk replied, 'What is universal has no recourse among them
brought back to shore.' The monk said, 'On the other hand, everyone saves
way.' A monk passed by, laughing, and asked, Nikuko, 'After all this play,
is there such a thing as the six-fold veiling of monk or nunagainst their
will,' the solitary monk hurrying her way along in the darkness. The monk
knows the ghost and all the names of the ghosts, but the monk cannot name
the realm of the lanterns and fireflies. So the monk knows and speaks the
name of the monk in the mountains needing to be free. The monk said, 'On
the other hand, everyone saves everyone, that is so.' What shall be left?
What "Sondheim"? A monk burns in full view and the blaze hurries his way
along in the darkness. The monk knows the ghost and all the names of the
ghosts, but the monk cannot save herself or anyone in the the realm of the
lanterns and fireflies. So the monk knows and speaks and this is what she
says: 'itinerant priest, after ascetic and itinerant' - what is left, what
is to be hand, why are we in such terrible terrible pain ...

Six Duets with Chris Diasparra

Six Duets with Chris Diasparra

Check first at http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/791

Shehata oud. These three I think are amazingly successful;
saxophone and oud work well, especially in the lower registers.
I took advantage of glissandi to parallel breath.
http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/baroud1.mp3
http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/baroud2.mp3
http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/baroud3.mp3

Jogia sarangi. This worked better than expected; I think of
the sarangi repetition as song against Chris's figures.
http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/barjsarangi.mp3

The pipa has a percussive, almost gritty sound, phrases
turned inside out. This is also quite successful.
http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/barpipa.mp3

Open-holed Gemeinhardt flute. Again breathing is critical
against the sax phrasing.
http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/barflute.mp3

Chris's lower register is fantastic; you can lose yourself
in it. It's almost cello-like. These pieces form an odd set.
You can here some of this live in April.

Last Day for the Eyebeam Blog - contact info etc.

(I'm going to try working the blog at http://avatarpaste.blogspot.com/ as a kind
of continuation: do check into this And apologies for cross-posting here.)

Since my residency has ended, this is the last day for the Eyebeam blog.
Here is relatively complete contact information:

The Eyebeam blog is at http://eyebeam.org/blogs/alansondheim/ and
hopefully will stay up there, as a record of my residency and my thinking
on issues of pain, death, virtual and real worlds.

My basic webpage - in the form of a directory - is at
http://www.alansondheim.org/ . The page is a repository for my work and is
added to almost daily. When I put up a piece, I also describe it; the
description is sent to several email lists, and is also added to a file
which becomes part of the repository. For example, my current work and
this text will appear at http://www.alansondheim.org/ri.txt ; the next
file will be http://www.alansondheim.org/rj.txt and so forth - after
rj.txt, sa.txt will begin and so forth. This way - looking down the column
at the indices - you can see where I am, what the work is, at any point.

My email descriptions of the same are archived at
http://sondheim.rupamsunyata.org/ - which lists the emails sent to the
Cybermind list, as they are sent, on an almost daily basis.

My music is at http://www.espdisk.com/alansondheim/ for the most part;
there are difficulties using this with the Chrome browser. You can also
access the music at http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/ or at
http://lounge.espdisk.com/ - the most recent file there now is at
http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/789 .

I can be reached by phone at 1-347-383-8552; my mailing address is Alan
Sondheim, 432 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11217 and my email addresses are
sondheim panix.com and sondheim gmail.com. I'm also easy to
reach on Facebook and g+; I check the former more often.

At the moment, I have a book coming out with WVU, a performance as part of
a group show on April 3 at Churner and Churner (10th Ave between 22 and
23), and I'm participating in a discussion/presentation centering around
dance and creativity at Edward Henkel's series on March 23rd at the 92nd
St. Y. I'm also doing some talks in Omaha in April, as well as
participating in the Sound Research Group event at Eyebeam April 20-21.
And I'm speaking and performing at the Electronic Literature Organization
Conf. at WVU in June. Finally, I just had a record, Cauldron, released by
FireMuseum, with Azure Carter and Helena Espvall, which I highly
recommend; somewhere along the line we'll have an opening for it, probably
in Philadelphia. I'm available for talks, seminars, performances, teaching
and anything else, working with students or fellow artists.

And thanks for a great run at Eyebeam!

Of Housing

Of Housing


http://www.alansondheim.org/housing.png
http://www.alansondheim.org/housing2.png
http://www.alansondheim.org/housing.mp3 solo hasapi

finding a home in memory [where we grew up, images from google
maps, the tree and front entrance to the kitchen are already gone;
the tree was one of the oldest in the town] a situation or an
unknown situation [trying to find a home for melody on hasapi,
it's already gone by the time i arrive]

I remember we always liked the trees, the one in the back seemed to
grow up with us. When my parents grew older, they stopped caring so
much; finally a year or so ago my brother and I insisted that the
growth be cut back to avoid misery in the neighborhood; there was
always the chance of something falling on one or another building.
The hedgerow of pines had to go; they were dead from disease. It's
as if the soil itself rebelled against growth in the area. The
skunks and possums went and the rabbits were gone for a long time,
too. Now some of the rabbits are back, that's all. No more hawks,
we didn't see herons either or any of the other visitors. But then
we weren't looking either. Google's maps are memories, perfect for
archives I think, the details blurred as if you were looking at
things through cataracts. Technology will never catch up with the
singularity of a one-to-one map; that doesn't matter very much. It
doesn't matter that animals and plants disappear, that corrupted
form is the result of form corrupting; there are always new plants
and animals around the corner, and these images, for that matter,
this music, are nothing but digital spews, hardly carrying the
meat of anything, much less the world they were extruded from. We
are always already replacements, and probably always already have
been. The pain we leave behind, the pain within us, is inextricable
and lies outside any map or territory; the world shatters, shutters
and devolves. Almost no one will read this, and it's more likely to
be processed by a bot or spider than a human or other consciousness
moved, if only for a second, by the increasing tawdriness of our
world, slipping vastly into the digital, no body, our bodies, left
behind.
