361: bill bissett & The Mandan Massacre // Awake in Th Red Desert

Awake in Th Red Desert bill bissett & Th Mandan Massacre 1968, See/Hear Productions (Bandcamp)

(From “mor memoreez uv marvara reel konversaysyun,” scars on the seehors, Talonbooks 1999)

That’s a sample of how poet bill bissett’s writing looks on the page, phonetic and arbitrary, intuitive and free, while also checking the reader from taking any word for granted. The poems are frequently conversational in tone, but the way you have to sound out his writing to understand it means the reader's cadence ends up replicating the idiosyncratic singsong way bissett speaks. The 84-year-old remains a one-of-a-kind live performer, doodling all over the line between spoken poetry and song. He croons nonsense lullabies and pastiche ragas, shakes a maraca, intones mantras until their familiar words lose all their sense, even dances a little. It’s funny—I wouldn’t recommend his writing to someone unfamiliar with the avant-garde, but I would confidently take just about any open-minded person to see one of his shows. He has the affect of a holy fool or a joyful monk, and basically anything he does makes more sense in the context of his corporeal presence.

Back in 1968 though, bill was a wild young man, and Awake In Th Red Desert, his LP with backing “band” Th Mandan Massacre, is full of noisy freakouts and some patience-testing explorations. The Massacre includes four percussionists, some trained (jazz drummer Gregg Simpson) and some not (poet Martina Clinton, bill’s then-partner); electric guitar; two flutes (one a toy); and cutting edge Buchla Box synthesizer by the otherwise unknown Wayne Carr. Response to Red Desert has been pretty mixed—one of its Bandcamp uploads even warns, “Please preview the tracks before downloading. There are no refunds.” I suspect many listeners don’t make it past the first side of the record, which often sounds like what it is: clattering free improvisations around bissett’s sung or shouted recitations. On the flip though, things mellow out for some fascinating minimal synth explorations, bissett doing his visionary thing on a haunting electronic field (see “fires in the tempul”). “she, still and curling” is particularly freaky, Carr making sinister cricket noises with his Buchla, tape of bissett’s voice chopped up into hypnotic loops, layered and manipulated till it sounds like a collage of short wave radio transmissions. The ramshackle noise of the early tracks eventually returns on the awesome “now according to paragraph ‘c’”: bissett reads what (initially) seems like a found text that gets weirder and bolder as the poet works himself into a lather, the Buchla’s bleak tones tattered by the percussion squad’s stiff beat.

I snagged this off Montrealer Alex Moskos, who oversaw the reissue for Massachusetts-based avant-garde label Feeding Tube, and getting this thing back out there has clearly been a labour of love for him (the production quality is impeccable; great explanatory liner notes too). Are there 500 people who want this record? I’m not sure. But for fans of bissett, sound poetry, freaky music, and early electronic, this’ll be of interest. One idea: tell people Awake was the work of a solar death cult leader from the Pacific Northwest who disappeared during an eclipse and they won’t be able to keep the damn thing in stock.

I don't want to be negative on an utopia post so I started my own.

For reasons, I have lots of golf lore. And transforming golf courses is a good idea in teory, but I'm afraid these kind of posts paint this trasformation as a miracle that will solve the housing crisis and become the solution to climate change. It's not.

There is a lot, and I mean a LOT of nuance.

For example, there's a difference between a links golf course in Scotland (a kind of course more integrated in the native nature in an already humid country), and a regular golf course in a desertic area in Florida. Or a par-3 course? (the one least eco-damaging and the friendliest to kids, old people and people in general)

More nuance: is the golf course in the middle of the city or is it a 60 minute ride from anywhere livable? (Because transforming a green area in the middle if a cramped city into more housing will increase the summer heat in the area. And transforming an isolated area is a waste of resources.)

Even more nuance: is it a golf course in use or one of the 200 golf courses closed in the U.S. in 2017?

And a big big nuance: is it a PUBLIC golf course or a PRIVATE golf course? Those are incredibly different problems with incredibly different approaches.

Most golf courses in the USA are a privately owned business that rely on the kind of clients that make business on the club house. And like to bee seen spending 8 hours staight walking around It is lucrative! Look at all that water, and the land they can aford with the tiny number of people perusing it at a time. Because they are not selling in bulk, they are selling exclusivity snd selling an image of power and richness.

One way to close them down is to ruin golf's public image. But this year they survived being shamed for betraying an association of terroist victim's families. I'm not kidding. I wish I was, but the golf lovers are willing to shove a LOT under the rug.

The tipping point for golf gourse private owners is not going to be shame. It's going to be: "is more profitable to exploit people through rent indefinitely than to sell the image of richness?"

You may love direct action, but a few weeks ago a main event for senior players was trashed. Destroyed, the ground was unplayable, and all the golf superintendants of the region pitched in and in the morning it was perfect and they played.

However you choose to dismantle it you have to take into account that this is still owned by people who live off the image of affluence, it is their business model. So whatever they build instead of a golf course is not going to be affordable for you and me.

It is not going to solve the housing crisis. The neighborhoods surounding a golf course are of high value, so you are going to find a strong opposition of a small army of semi rich Karens and Kens of the area unless you find something that will keep the value of their property up.

And this is not a crazy "what if" story. I come with receips because this has already happened.

Successful story of repurposed golf course into a park. The land had to be clawed out of private hands.

“It always had been identified,” Moskos said. “It just took 100 years to secure the land.”

Metro Parks bought the property, which had been a golf course for more than 50 years, for $4 million in October 2016. The 200-acre property connects three parks — Cascade Valley, Gorge and Sand Run — and creates the district’s second-largest contiguous area, at just under 1,700 acres.

Another repurposed golf course in Kent, this time apartments. Public space in debt sold to private hands to build "luxury rental housing". You decide if that's a success.

Auburn-based Landmark Development Group and HAL Real Estate will construct the project on the former Riverbend par 3 golf course property along the Green River they bought from the city of Kent for $10.5 million. The City Council voted to sell the property to eliminate the Riverbend Golf Complex fund’s debt of about $4 million and spend about $6 million to improve the 18-hole course across the street from the former par 3 course.

[...]

Marquee on Meeker will provide Kent first-of-its-kind, luxury rental housing and retail via two new six-story, 120-unit buildings featuring 6,000 square feet of retail each, and 21, 12-unit, three-story walk-up residential buildings. Residential units will feature high-quality finishes.

The apartment complex will include lounges, decks, fitness centers and a large clubhouse including a modern kitchen, pool, spa, outdoor fireplace and barbecue areas.

Yet another story, this time in Palm Springs. Dead golf course turned into "exclusive neighborhoods".

Overseen by Freehold Communities, a national real estate developer, Miralon represents one of the country’s biggest bets on agriculture-oriented real estate. [...] Residents in these exclusive neighborhoods can tend community gardens, fill up baskets of fruits in orchards, and, in Kukui’ula in Hawaii, even harvest guava, papaya, and pineapple.Selling a more experiential and exclusive lifestyle—“whether it’s tranquil, artsy, eclectic or organic, more or less everything is right where you want it,” says Miralon’s website. [...]

Of course, maybe the most sustainable use of land may actually be dense high-rises, which support resource conservation, public transit, and more efficient land use. But that may be a bit too radical, not to mention expensive, for Palm Springs.[...]

Miralon actually had its start as a failed golf course development named Avalon that, like it’s partial owner, Lehman Brothers, was stopped short by the recession.

There have been other successful stories, like Japan turning a defunct golf course into a solar farm. And there have been faillure stories about HOAs refusing to let affordable housing be built.

What can you do?

I don't know, do you live near a defunct golf course? Is there a public golf course in your town that you could encourage to plant local flora? Are you involved in a HOA that's blocking the repurposing of a golf course? Can you educate someone making seed bombs into a more productive course of action? I don't know! Here is where you have to think for yourself, learn about your area of influence and influence it.

Just make sure when you rage against the machine that you are aimed at the right direction, make sure there is at least one possibility of realizing what you set yo do, and know what will happen later to save yourself the pikachu face.

this tweet is so funny because he literally only mentioned him, mosko and zuck as fb founders and ignore the rest 😭

The way I burst into actual laughter upon reading this. There is no way in hell Mark considers Sean Parker a co-founder of Facebook. Dustin's said, and I'm paraphrasing here cause I can't remember whether he said this on Threads or Twitter or Quora and I don't want to go looking rn, that he considers Mark and himself cofounders, usually includes Chris in that, and includes Eduardo technically/legally, when pressed. He also mentioned Andrew McCollum which I thought was interesting, though McCollum occupies a lower place in the ranking than Eduardo (again, all this according to Dustin).

Hugely hilarious to me that Sean puts himself so high up in the ranking. From what I remember of what Kirkpatrick said in The Facebook Effect, Parker was out of the company by the end of 2005, and I think sooner than that but I don't want to get a date wrong. His one notable contribution was maybe an introduction to Peter Thiel, but Reid Hoffman was already intrigued about Facebook and they could've gotten to Thiel that way through the PayPal connection.

Thanks for the ask!

Wolf Eyes - Difficult Messages - new compilation of tracks from collaborative 45s

A selection of private press 45s featuring Nate Young, John Olson, Alex Moskos, Gretchen Gonzales, Aaron Dilloway & Raven Chacon. These collaborations between the core Wolf Eyes crew and friends was originally self-released as a series of super-limited 7” hand painted box sets, but now the core ‘hits’ have been compiled by Disciples for wider consumption. Wolf Eyes' history with collaboration goes back almost 26 years. From the first Wolf Eyes w/Spykes concert that led to Olson joining the band to Smegma, Braxton, Richard Pinhas, Merzbow, Marshall Allen, and many more. Wolf Eyes has continued expanding musical ideas through collaboration and Difficult Messages is the first compilation of this practice. Many of the bands on 'Difficult Messages' exist inside an assemblage of a mail art tradition. Most of the music was made remotely and this allowed for deeper exploration into styles that might have been too uncomfortable to attempt face to face. Short Hands finds Nate Young, and Alex Moskos exchanging bass and guitar fragments with Olson’s reeds and tones overtop sculpted into odd rock songs. Wolf Raven touches on harsh electronics and pushes forward into postmodern ideas of composition. Time Designers is a duo of Alex Moskos and Nate Young using hacked drum machines and a 'design' approach to organizing sound. U Eye finds Olson and Young alongside longtime collaborators Gretchen Gonzales and Aaron Dilloway for a scrape and tape session recorded by Warren Defever. Stare Case is Olson and Young in a non-Wolf duo. Perhaps the only 'rules following' project these two have EVER had. The collection of audio tracks could be looked at as an exquisite corpse: a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. With this method over thirty tracks and four hundred paintings were created. Cover painting by Olson and Young. Zine text by Moskos, Olson and Young. Layout by Studio Tape Echo. Mixed and mastered by Warren Defever at Third Man, Detroit. Cut by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Sequenced by Disciples.
