Thirst
weep ransack (frailty) veer tide elegy is the successor
to Intergrams, and was
originally published by Eastgate Systems. It is reissued in a
multiplatform version for download here.
Simultaneities in this work include polylinear "word nets" and
subdiagrams. (Note the screen shot on my home page is an extraction
from this work.)
I had been at work on this piece but a short time when the sad news
arrived that John Cage had died. John’s death transformed the
writing of this piece; I might perhaps have called it Re and Not Re
John Cage. At that time I found myself repeating a phrase that other
friends also found helpful: “John Cage: Not in memoriam but in use,
in continuous use.” This work represents an infinitesimal fragment
of that continuous use.
