EPISODE 15: Bye Bye 25. AKA “the Jacques Cousteau episode” ft. Christof Migone, Larry Dolman, Mark Loeser, Alex Moskos and Virtual Borzeix

A year end celebration with the larger circle.The theme: Terrifying in a beautiful instead of a dangerous way.We start the episode under the icecap. We celebrate life in a subaquatic hydrophone terror attack by ghosts who remind us of the life-giving force of death in a connected world.  It sounds joyful. The Book of Revelation, written by stylophone, with no consonants, only vowels.Intentional connections that open onto unintentional ones, via over-modulated saxophones.We spend time unpacking "destitution", then Mark brings the esoterik cannon, full stop. Mahler leads to criminally neglected spiritual visitations from the Chicago dollar bins.Solo unknowability ensues. Jacob drinks a huge milkshake. The other way of making music. The fundamental music: The one person with their instrument once the energy grid collapses.Neon hunks fashioning Flemish dance-folk stringed instruments on homesteads. Moskos suddenly appears. A very slow computer processing in a yurt, creating a virtual Borzeix. You don’t show up? You get represented anyway.The world moves in predictable ellipses: Michigan > Africa > Montreal. The servers run hot making sound design from the future. Roger brings the now sound by looking backwards and forwards at the same time.Octavia Butler-style benevolent aliens oversee the episode and monitor the controlled feedback.Finally, we visit that guy in a basement at GRM for 25 years still trying to make a computer play like Charlie Parker.2025: Strange resonance and bloody fingers. 2026: Things Have Got to Change!We listend to:1.
