A piece about music cataloging for an assemblage of records, tapes, fixed media playback, and other electronics. Voice by James C. Joyce. Performed in Oberlin, OH February 17, 2024.
On a beautiful clear night, when that clarity coaxes reflection out of both myself and the stars, I think about how the marines used a shareware version of Doom II for combat training purposes in the mid-90s. I think about the conservatory predator who began his playbook with Debussy in your practice room. I think about how small and sublime we would all look burning on the surface of the sun!
