Show Notes
Where this starts, you are going to be so surprised where it ends.
I’m just going to pecker my way into this one:
Cups
Chairs
Flatware
Bucket
Pop-top.
You are over there.
There’s just so many directions you can take from the cups.
So,
Sell everything and just buy three machines
Its just so basic—commit to the bit
You press a button and a sound comes out.
You press the button again and the sound goes out.
On and off.
On and off.
I’d like to sometimes live in this world where just I live in an empty room
With just this bed
With this couch on the floor
And this table with like two machines
And I just like turn on the sound
turn off the sound.
And turn on the sound
turn off the sound.
And I have only three sounds to work with.
There’s this moiré kind of thing happening
There’s a lot of crevices to explore
So this is kind of this idea.
This kind of thing like
“Whoah… how far is this going to go?”
(Please wait for a couple of hours for someone to call you).
We are in a new timeline.
It’s a winning proposal
It’s very attractive
It’s great for when you have people over who don’t like music
That’s the goddam cups again.
We could go for an hour fading in and fading out like that
