Several years ago I read many of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales, including “A Descent into the Maelström”, a short story in which “a man recounts how he survived a shipwreck and a whirlpool” (Wikipedia).

As often the case with Poe's work, the tale impressed me very much. A few years later I wrote this little Grundgestalt (that's how I call my algorithmic compositions, created from the states of the simulator of a game). The music spoke to me of Poe's tale — therefore it was only natural to give it the same title.

The orchestration is very simple: distorted guitar and uduhachi flute in unison, plus double bass, and drums. The three voices correspond to the cards owned by the two opponents in the game, plus those that the two players extract and have not yet been adjudicated.

The concentration camp is at the end of the main street of Centreville . . . there's a main stage in the camp, a Busby-Berkeley type stage which laps into the concentration camp, and there's a barbed wire fence which is continued across our stage by a set of iron bars. There is a sliding door and we can go in and out of the camp at will because we can buy-off the guards. Then on Main Street, there is a newt ranch; for Motorhead and his girlfriend, and a bank, and the Rantz Mahamet's Colonic Parlour, and the meat market and a motel: an endless motel which just goes streaming down to infinity with fraudulent perspective. And at the end of the street is this airport with huge, out of proportion 747's lurking . . . just painted on the wall in back. And then there's a psychedelic night-club called the Electric Circus Factory and there's a bar called RED NECK EATS and there's a neon sign in the windows that blinks on and off that says: "Eat Beer!" . . .

Hi! Inspired by the above quote by #FrankZappa, I wrote this piece and called it "Electric Circus Factory"! I hope you'll like it! 😊

“…There was also a psychedelic nightclub, the Electric Circus Factory”. (From ‘Electric Don Quixote: The Definitive Story Of Frank Zappa’, by Neil Slaven, Omnibus Press, 2003).

As soon as I read this sentence I decided that I would name one of my tracks after him…. And so here is my ‘Electric Circus Factory’.

…Please enter the Factory of Electric Circuses! Or is it maybe the Electric Factory of Circuses? No-one knows, not even the Jazz Quartet who’s playing in it 😊

It's antisemitic to use dumbphones because you are concerned about smartphone hacking.

Day 25 - Tempting

You are minding your own business, and then these bad boys show up in the table, what do?

It was very nostalgic to do donuts again, and also trying to remember how they were supposed to be made in the first place.
