I’ve missed you, she says. It’s been rough honestly, I say. I hope you don’t judge me harshly. I was worried you were dead. I would at times search your name in obituaries. And I thought selfishly: I thought, could I live with Christina? I want to die with her if she’s dead… I want to think I would die without you, but I think I would go on and I would hate it. I would go on with the biggest wound I have ever known and write over and over again in the Book. I would write my mourning until I finally died at 100, I say. No judgment, says Christina. Grief is so hard but I think you’re better off living to 100 with the hole. The would is better off too. Though I understand too, if it got too hard, she says)

I listen to Wandelweiser Concert (Pisaro, Frey, Beuger): Chamber Music with Accordion
Michael Pisaro [Michael Pisaro-Liu] (*1961): Here 2/1 (1996) accordion, flute
Jürg Frey (*1955): (Unbetitelt) I (1990) accordion, cello
Antoine Beuger (*1955): quite still and solitary (1995) accordion, flute, cello, actress, dancer
I write the following about Wandelweiser on a Discord server:
Wandelweiser is a composer collective. I would describe it as an aesthetic, a common origin(s) where the composers of Wandelweiser realized that John Cage (specifically compositions like 4’33’’ and his late Number Pieces) is not an ending but a beginning
It is a sensitive music about space, silence, the quiet
From a listening perspective, I feel these compositions have much in common with other aesthetic directly or indirectly influenced by John Cage:
Steve Roden’s lowercase music
Japan’s Onkyo scene
The electroacoustic improvisation (EAI) scene that developed during the late 1990s as a reaction to the fire and density of European free improvisation and free jazz, and pared the music radically and made improvisational statements sparse and weighty
I feel there’s a lot of overlap and interconnections between these
Michael Pisaro-Liu, who is a part of Wandelweiser and has worked with many EAI performers nad composers, wrote about its development here: [I provide a link to the Erstwords blog post, to a post entitled “Wandelweiser” written by Michael Pisaro-Liu circa 2009]
A future exploration: to play page space although I feel space anxious and troublesome (I feel the page window light horror vacui I feel pleasure in the aesthetic of completely filled page no space but I also feel the creative need to continually rupture and contaminate my creative boundaries / open space space open ocean)

I can’t believe that’s still my email! says C. I use that shit in professional settings. Who really? Yes! I’ve used it as a talking point in interviews… for jobs I’ve gotten! People are so stupid, she says. Are you not stupid? I say. I included myself! says C. I’m people! Oh that makes me the only smart person left then, I say. What is your gospel? I ask C. Big Book, says Christina. I meant as a prophetess. Big Book! You’re like my AA friend, I say. He says if your big book is not falling apart you’re not trying. It’s literally changed my whole life, says C. Emotionally, spiritually, physically. I don’t think I would find it interesting, I say. Haha! The first time I read it, I was like “hard pass”. Now you’re part of a cult! I say. The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick and CG Jung’s Red Book and the Nag Hammadi Library changed me. Changed how? says C. Emotionally, spiritually, physically. I like books, I say. I like audio books now, says C. Heresy… HERESY. Go listen to podcasts about Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian why don’t you. Sounds great! says C. I can’t do it – I have to interact with a book because I steal and write it. I can’t do that with an audio book. That part is annoying! says C. My twelve step stuff and poetry books I still ready physically. Why poetry do you read? Good question! I haven’t read anything in forever. You could read Atticus or Rupi Kaur. Or I could watch videos about Kim Kardashian, says C. How do you evaluate art, I say. Has to have good mouth feel. LIKE MY DICK. How would you know? Your mom told me. Hahahaha that was a good one, says Christina.
I typically talk to Christina daily but as of this writing, it has been almost five days since I have heard from her I feel worry and anxiety – Christina often has poor health and I fear she’s in the hospital or worse (I scour for any news – including entertaining morbid thoughts by seeing if her name appears in any local obituaries – nothing yet, thankfully) I don't know what I would do without Christina – continue to live and write without her, unfortunately

I fall in love with Christina (I think what Asia is pointing to is a couple of things, I say to Christina. I’m hyper-fixated on very few friendships like hers and yours, while ignoring the impact and friends outside my core. I think she’s saying I have a larger world than that, and I am not alone at all, not even a little bit, I say. I’m glad she pointed that out, says C. Is that hard for you to believe? Yes. I often feel alone and I feel my impact on others is negative and they’d be better off without me. Are you able to accept her evidence to the contrary? says C. Maybe you need to be in more social situations so you can see it? Yeah, I think that’s correct, I say. Me and Asia have talked about before how I self isolate and cut off others. She asked, does that ever help? The answer is no. She said it’s OK not to be able to do it alone and I won’t be able to do it alone. I have a lot of resources and people who care alone me, I say. I fall into the same pit, says Christina. But literally every time I branch out I see the things Asia sees for you, says Christina.

It would have been hard to justify continuing the relationship with you with the kind of things you’d say and do, says Christina. Lots of hostage holding. Hostage holding? Like, talk to me or I’ll kill myself. Oh jeez, how the heck do I still have friends?! I say. But at the present, I’m grateful for our relationship, says C. We didn’t have the tools we needed to be good friends to each other. I don’t assign blame to you – or myself! – for being bad at being friends. I didn’t have the ability to be a good friend. Holding me hostage was successful and it was the only way you knew to get your needs met. More recently, it’s unsuccessful. I don’t engage. And you've found more adaptive ways to get your needs met. We’re learning and growing! says Christina.

And I said, You better knock me out if you do, knock me out for the whole day. He just laughed and said, Alright, I’ll knock you out and then come wake up when it’s time to go home… Then later he said, You should write me up, and I just look at him say in a serious tone, you DID threaten a teacher. And he legit looked scared and was like, I WAS JOKING PLEASE DON’T WRITE ME UP. I was like dude, calm down, says Asia.

I liked it, says Asia. I liked how lyrical it was, how it kept referencing music. I like the touch of body horror. I would have liked to see a change in tempo or something that was a change in pace to ground it, she says. I’m surprised you like it because it’s not as cohesive as the other it’s not as cohesive and the other excerpts I have sent you recently. I feel like I was trying something. I was in fact trying to unground the language since you mention the ground. Like pushing it towards an abstraction where it groups up in clusters and constellations or clothed blood cells rather than through another means, I say. What if you started a piece like that slowly with long sentences then let it disintegrate into the abstract and then bring it back, says Asia. Like an ebb and flow, she says. That's an idea, I say. I think one thing I do is it takes me a long time to adapt to new techniques, so I forget them and then try them again when I remember. So it’s kind of funny when a new technique gets introduced multiple times over a long time span. This excerpt made me think of some things I’m trying to do now, like those ugly body / burlesque lines I sent you yesterday… This is what one friend said:
"I thought it was great, liked a lot of the uncharacteristic comparisons / groupings like: Genetically modified ouroboros bar funk lemon-flavored baguettes’. Also after another re-read, really noticing the punctuation usage and how it fits into the reading (like how subconsciously I hear anything in parentheses in a different voice/tone.”
My friend Violet said:
"I think you're becoming limited with the medium you chose. Like one string of words in a standard typeset and only one typeface and size and weight. I think that you can capture it a lot more resoundly if you expanded the medium a bit. Maybe adding variable weight to just start"
I thought that was an interesting comment – to explore the medium (font, boldness, size) rather than change the content – to let the medium change to support the content rather than the other way around. I agree, says Asia, though I think you can do a lot with just sentence lengths. I’m not sure about using a bunch of fonts though. Yeah, I’m reluctant to explore that, I say. I told Violet I really like the idea of manipulating the medium but only until I reached the very limit of what I am currently doing. But if I get stuck, I want to try focusing on the medium. Obviously there’s a risk of dramatically reducing readability with messing with fonts… I had an idea when you were talking about sentence lengths. What are your thoughts on spirals? I say. Depends – elaborate and I’ll tell you what I think, says Asia. I’m thinking literal mathematical spirals, I say. You suggested one long sentence, disintegrating it slowly and then reconstructing it and it made me think of a spiral like this [Fermat’s Spiral]. I was thinking of another type of sentence structure of alternating long and short sentence structures slowly changing over time, the longest ones becoming shorter and the shorter ones becoming longer. I like that idea, says Asia.
So for example:
----------------------------------------------
--------------
----------------------------------------------
--------------
Let’s say I have alternating long and short sentences like that and they slowly transform into their opposition over the page:
-------------
----------------------------------------------
--------------
----------------------------------------------
It makes me think of transforming concentric circles or spirals. This would take a lot of planning. I will probably do multiple things at once like I always do, but I appreciate your feedback. I want to add to my toolkit. I want more tools I’m fluent in. I still want to play with expressing my emotions like you suggested – writing metacommentaries – using our conversations as jumping off points and anchors – exploring music and other books. I have to keep surprising you, you know. Have you find new shelves in your thrift store... I feel like I’m either writing the best stuff in the world or I write worthless shit… Your critiques give me a move evidence-based confidence in my art because you’re picky about writing, I say. It helps I think you don’t write narrative, because then all I have left is the feel of the words, says Asia. I do think you are right about the piece being very abstract. Like I said, I would have liked for there to have been something to bring it to earth a little, says Asia. More bones? An Asia conversation? Also I’m glad you appreciated the horror imagery. I think it goes well with some of your current themes and emotions, says Asia. In the passage the violence was being done to yourself by yourself I think it fit well. I’m not feeling good about my body, I say. I know. I do feel much of the horror is self-directed – even if it’s outside of me ti always comes back to me. Like the misogyny passages are ultimately my misogyny, I say.

In these very rare cases, the patient imagines that everything happening around him is a veiled reference to his personality and existence. He excludes real people from the conspiracy, because he considers himself to be much more intelligent than other men. Phenomenal nature shadows him where he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to each other, by means of slow signs incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way, messages that he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.
I adore the short story “Signs and Symbols” by Vladimir Nabokov and this passage in particular (which I have quoted in portions before) I feel too experience a sort of referential mania or paranoid ideas of reference: I think I’d be incapable of my highly association word conglomerations-constellations-aggregates I aggregate word language I’m an aerostar I’m a cutlass supreme I sign human skin sleek snow then deep red Deep red delusions of reference / ideas of reference idee fixe light fixtures Light fixture forest furniture I sign human signature son of man wild memory sound Mercury museum mausoleum site-specific installations idee fixe Symbol idee fixe gospel symphonie fantastique Fiberglass bloodlust monomania / ben body idea fixe unfixed cloud cryptograms Unfixed cloud of unknowing cryptogram (every single idee fixe but expression of a deeply deranged psychic individuality and probably an indicator of an incipient form of mania)

Over the light bulbs, there’s all these dead moth wings, and I… hate that. Such a sadness: there must surely be something to do with that.

Conversations With Asia 07/05/2020 5:32 AM
Everyone else gets to be unreasonable, says Asia. Why don’t I get to be unreasonable? Being reasonable with them sure didn't work. Damned if I do damned if I don't I guess. I feel like no matter what I do I’m going to be painted like I’m in the wrong. I would say “So why not have fun with it?” but I’m not having fun… I’m just hurt and really fed up with their shit and part of me feels like letting my guard down again means that they are going to walk all over me again, she says.
I don’t always appreciate Asia’s givenness and vulnerability and openness with her givenness I often don’t realize I demand much of her
Asia told me the other day: I’m struggling with stress and anxiety at the moment so I have to admit when I first saw the message about how it’s important for me to rad it, I had to put my phone down and compose myself for a moment. Because at the time it was feeling like yet another thing that I had to pour focus and energy and time and attention to. Like I’ll never be able to relax because everything in dependent on me giving 110 percent, she says.
I often demand 110 percent of Asia’s time, energy, and attention, and I do not realize I take advantage of her vulnerable and open givenness I demand more awareness of my relationships but with kindness and self-love I appreciate Asia and our friendship I should cut this out but writing heals and to write heals: heals galactic pot maker Stephanie steers ben body stretch antlers heal no god
