Songs remain - they last.

A song can last long after the events 

and the people in it are dust 

and dreams are gone.

REAKTION - the red wedding

THE RED WEDDING

just a silly random flash

you are blood rushing down a mountain

spirit of hate - greed and anger - anguish 

dominator of heaven and earth - a tempestuous trickster

tormenting torturing twisted teasing

you are my triumphant trauma - triangulated & tempered
castrated constructed contaminated contained

you are omnipotence omnipresent - radiation in remission

brighter than the brightest star - forever famous favoured

the mystery and imagination defies the dystopian distemper 

trembling - tender - tenacious - troubled - tempted

self absorbed - absent

metastasis metaphoric - a familiar framed fornication

beautified botox broken bereavement behaviour bad

and that when necessary will act decisively - disciplined

determined disciple - destined - driven

the dark dementia is a return to remorse & resistance

an alignment in faith - forthcoming and fermented fiscal

fickle and frail BUT formula free fracking

fashion

in a red wedding - an unfortunate uniform

where vows violate and terms terminate

drill baby drill

killing him, was just an idea

just a silly random flash

the red wedding

R E A K T I O N

volume up . 1080p

this is in no way

a suggested course of action

against those who obviously

want more than we do

and that in an ever so earnest 

righteous entitlement

shall they just take it

THE STORY OF DARK WORLD
walnut street, toronto, 1991

 

in a state of transition, I started a new phase of my journey

after being dropped by my record label A&M Records

in 1986, married, a new Dad and a drive to keep writing & recording

more obsessed than ever - self consumed

the tortured artist yawn

the very cool thing about being signed to a record company

in the early 80's is that they gave you these large cheques

called 'advances' for you to make a record for them

I spent half of it on gear and built a home studio in toronto. 

Rhythmic frameworks mostly using my Apple Mac Plus computer

take them to the studio and track, add live instruments/voices 

then mix in the larger format (proper studio)

without a label, there was no phase 2, no large format

I was confined to my smaller laboratory to record and mix

and it was less than perfect

in 1988 I started experimenting with Intelligent Music software 

which randomized MIDI events - metric music - a retro AI for music

much like taking coloured confetti and throwing it up

watching it fall and seeing patterns

on the floor - editing/reorganizing a bit

then importing the MIDI file into Performer

a more traditional music sequencer

IM was way cool w/rhythms I found

requiring aptitudes of patience & change

97% of my time doing that was junk/garbage BUT

3% of the time? OK what do we have here?

this is one of them - a seed that expanded

started in intelligent music - jam factory

and finished at spiral studio - walnut ave., toronto

the opening track on night parachuting '91

fast forward 35 years

a few days ago I finished the National Geographic documentary series

Liberation: D-Day to Berlin

pulled out Night Parachuting and listened to Dark World

for the first time in many years - a mood thing for me - pulled to that

remixing - fun

THE STORY OF LOON SONG & ANDY CONDON

london/toronto

Andy and I went to Fanshawe College together in 1976/77

Creative Electronics became Music Industry Arts that year

a brief window of opportunity

I can maybe count a handful of people (outside family)

who I can say I've 'loved' unconditionally

Andy was one of them for me - so musical

and an elevated grasp of physics/acoustics

Super smart guy - the antithesis of 'cool'

but an enigma nonetheless

Great ear. He loved Night Parachuting

and wanted to master it at Soundfield, Toronto

as a gesture of our friendship

for free

We played in 2 bands together in school earlier on

tall, lanky/thin, quiet/reserved - dirty brown hair to his waist

personal hygiene was sketchy and he had a creepy laugh

like he already knew what you were thinking before you were

Andy was a functional drummer; kept good time/nothing frilly 

and brilliant on so many levels - sneaky, inspiring

funny

Becoming a gifted acoustician/audio mastering engineer

and facility designer post grad, having designed sound/acoustical

at several renowned concert venues - collaborations/participations

including Roy Thompson Hall, Wintergarden Theatre & Danforth Music Hall

Health issues kicking in early. Andy spent the last 7 years of his life

bed ridden - the potential still staggers me

I have some very fond memories of a friend

I will never forget.
