Stuck on a Frownapilago

I had a good experience on my bike ride home, so I had to write about it.

Take the picture and put it in spectrograph form for you next album.

**Frownland** · 01-26-2016, 11:33 AM

I was thinking of using it as part of a musicircus type thing using field recordings and possibly a trumpet/sax/trumpophone combo. Example of a musicircus below.

Some more poetry

Mid Morning Sunrise
As the clouds began to bloom
Winds soared above
Low traffic below
Becomes a perpetuating hum
Orange lavender paints the sky
As the sun begins to rise
Chirps interrupt the faint breeze
Echoing resonating upon my ear
Planes groan
Crunching gravel underneath
My shifting weight
Dogs and crows
Atop the birdsong in bursts
Traffic flows up the hill in waves
A lone strip of cloud glows
Another hovers on a desolate mountaintop
Before splitting in two
The birds become more frantic
A choir to the room noise of the world about me
The lone strip burns off and dissipates
Casting shadows
Losing them
Flaring from red to yellow as the sun peaks

Some pictures of the sunrise that inspired this

5 Reasons Why 9/11 Was a Hoax

1: Fucking Explosions!

When the planes crashed into the towers, eyewitness reports claim that they heard the airplane explode before they looked up to see it. Why would an airplane explode? Airplanes don't just explode like that. There has not been a single case in recorded history where an airplane has exploded. What caused the explosion was a warhead in the tip of the plane that caused the initial explosion. There were additional bombs in the building, both affixed to the building itself and strapped to bound and gagged political prisoners that the CIA didn't want to waste time on giving a trial to. The evidence is clear.

2: George W. Fucking Bush

We all know how horrifically GWB acted when he first heard the news, so I won't waste your time with that lie. His biggest giveaway was during a speech that he gave where he said:

"America was under attack. We are all the people who died in the attacks. We are all the volunteers and firefighters, those brave men and women, who gave their lives to save others. We are all Americans."

Um, what? Bush either overestimated how many people died in the attacks or he doesn't know how many people there are in America. I didn't die in the attacks and I live in America? How do you explain that? Did you die in the attacks (if you're an American, that is)? There are 330 million people in the United States, and even the most liberal official documents say that three thousand people died on 9/11. Bush has never been able to get himself out of this particular tangle of lies because it's some of the more compelling evidence that the government orchestrated the attacks.

3: It Didn't Actually Happen

I went to Chicago in 2005, and the two towers were still standing. I was stunned. This is THE red flag of this whole ordeal. Go to Chicago. See for yourself.

My friend said that he went to the exact location to where the twin towers were, and there was just one massive building that they called WTC 1. Buildings don't just grow out of the ground, do they? He went to the lobby to see if he went to the right place because he wanted to see the twin towers, and they showed him a monument. What? Monuments aren't towers, and they aren't big enough for planes to crash into--that's a scientific fact. When he was asking questions for more proof that the towers were here, using his megaphone so that people could hear him better, secret service security drones REMOVED HIM FROM THE BUILDING. The government is very careful not to let these lies slip through, but the people who really know how to spot lies like me can see right through them.

4: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Al Qaeda Don't Exist

First off, I've never seen them and I'm pretty sure that you haven't either. Afghanistan is an illegal country that the British Empire has owned for centuries. This is where the British and the Americans house their secret intergalactic meeting rooms, in which they discuss their plans for world domination. Pakistan is a similarly illegal country, with the British pretending to give the region independence in 1947. Lastly, Al Qaeda. Complete bullshit. All of the videos of Osama Bin Laden and any other Al Qaeda members were CIA footage of white actors doing sandface. In the early 50s, we armed and trained the fake group, according to government records. This became a way to use espionage to infiltrate the oil empires in the Middle East. The media says that these things all exist, but they're dead wrong.

5: What They Say Doesn't Make Any Sense

Not one thing. How does someone just hijack an airplane? I thought Americans were badasses? Pussies who would just let a terrorist with an itty bitty box knife wouldn't be able to make it in this country. How does a building just fall down? Every explanation I've been told is utter nonsense and I'm baffled by how people can believe them. Do you just accept so called "Newtonian physics" because someone said they exist? I've never seen them. It just makes way too much sense to me that the big evil government that I already hate would kill thousands of its people for fun than the absurd notion that there were a small group of people out there who don't like Americans and wanted to kill some. Who the fuck but an American would kill an American? We are rightly the most highly regarded country in the world and everyone wants to suck our toes because of it. No, the only way that 9/11 could have happened (which, of course, it didn't) is if thousands of people came together in secret to use as a platform for a vague war against countries that don't exist so that Americans can buy more cargo pants. Why cargo pants you ask? Laura Bush runs the cargo pants industry, and we all know that the first lady has the most say in the executive branch.

**Frownland** · 06-05-2016, 10:39 AM

When I was in kindergarten, I noticed how we weren't really doing anything in class. I remember thinking, "why isn't it recess right now?" So I announced to the class that it was recess and everyone followed me out of the classroom and went to the playground. We had two teachers for the class, and the assistant one was the only one there that day. She was always really tired on those days.

You can probably guess which pretentious forum member is going to post about their own music in this thread.

Queens of Shiva - Queens of Shiva

Track Listing:
1. Release 16:48
2. Incantations 11:20
3. The Reptilian 06:22
4. QOFS (feat. Chinese Man in the Sky) 15:04
5. Leopard Eyes 07:34
6. Negative Space 09:56
7. The Noose (Regret) 06:42

This is one of my favourite albums that I've been on so far for the first two tracks alone. QOFS is myself and a classmate, Bradley Pate, as we pretty much terrorized our campus with free jazz. Release, Incantations, QOFS (feat. Chinese Man in the Sky), Negative Space, and The Noose (Regret) were all recorded in a big hall with a grand that we prepared, trumpet, sax, drums, and guitar. The Reptilian and Leopard Eyes were recorded using a clarinet and percussion on a bench when the hall was occupied. Chinese Man in the Sky is Jesse, who I ended up collaborating with more in the future. The track that he's featured on was his first ever musical venture.

The opener, Release, is the longest track and like most of the album is an entirely improvised duet. Brad is on the piano, which is prepared with a sawblade set on the strings, giving it a cymbal-esque sound. He plays a pretty straightforward melody in comparison to a lot of my work without losing the morose atmosphere that we decided to build the track on. I'm on saxophone and deliver some of my best screechy sax so far on this track. I remember doing this recording and just being drenched in sweat afterwards. We technically had an audience since there was an event that was being set up outside of the building with people rolling in, but I have no idea what their reactions were. I'd say it's one of my five most accessible songs. See for yourself. 10/10

The next track, Incantations, is more of the vein of what you'd expect from me: spastic free jazz with a modern classical bent. It kicks off with me still on sax and Brad on trumpet. Then I begin to play the prepared piano as the track descends into some Sergey Kuryokhin, John Cage, and Alexander von Schlippenbach inspired improvisations on my end as Brad carries on with some trumpet variations. You can hear a guy walk in during a really intense part and talk to Brad for a moment before we continue. After a while, Brad goes onto drums and we take the track to through one of many essentially indescribable free improvisation songs. Check it out https://queensofshiva.bandcamp.com/releases. 10/10

The next song, The Reptilian, has Brad on drums and me on clarinet. Brad slams out a few beats and I tongue out as many different clarinet textures as I can. 8/10

QOFS is next, with myself on prepared piano, Brad on trumpet, vocals, and guitars, and Jesse on drums and acid. This is some of the most difficult and dense material on the album and at some points it does retread a few phrases and ideas from Incantations. It goes on for a little bit too long imo, but if it didn't some of my favourite parts of the track wouldn't be included. Extremely chaotic and a lot to chew on. 7.5/10

Leopard Eyes is just another drum/clarinet track that I usually skip on the album tbh. 6.5/10

Negative Space has myself on drums and Brad on trumpet and it's a bombastic conversation between the two instruments. We were ****ing wasted and had we performed this one as a show, it would've stuck with that audience for sure. The first reason is because the music is really awesome and dramatic (duh). The second is because I kept losing my drums when they'd fall off of the table I was playing them on and I decided to just start throwing them around the room while playing them partway throughout the song. See Han Bennink for further antics. 9/10

The Noose (Regret) has a very lame title and isn't my favourite on the record, but that doesn't mean I don't love the interplay between Brad on trumpet and myself on piano (notice that's not prepared piano). The album ends abruptly as we die from marijuana overdoses. I had a stroke, Brad had a heart attack.7/10

I hope you guys enjoyed reading that and checked out the album if you haven't already.

You know making the acronyms for your projects not make sense (f.ex. QOFS and WISK) isn't artistic. It's just dumb.
