Nico Vassilakis' Vowelist

I've inhaled, drunk, performed, breathed, yelped...this piece many times. But this version takes Nico's score back to the paleolithic past and forward into the post-lithic future (I hear the monoliths in Kubrick's 2001...):

a mp3 version of VOWELIST by (Nico Vassilakis) with Martin Bland, Mark Arm, Steve Dukich, Dean Wynveen, Nico Vassilakis

Beckett's Question: Are you overly invested in certain speech acts?

Beckett's Question: Frames?

 

Beckett's Question: Do all objects together do anything sequentially?

Conceive the man, mute

 

the starting point of his own vital mechanism.

 

I took up the loose stone, a con artist—

I am but a coat shod with green poles, skin thin.

 

Doubt then as an old institution, my little folk,

an embarrassing flat stone, bead-eyed.

 

Seize him under the dry grass.

 

Beckett's Question: Is language the “house of being?” True or false?

Beckett's Question: What divided your house?

Beckett's Question: How do you feel about punctuation?
