Chill Gatz - DJ Steve Fly Agaric 23 (Live Audio Video Mix)

Into the 90s crates of dusty mellow cuts, selected and mixed on the fly. File under downtempo trip hop, chill beats and instrumental healing tones. Excuse the wonky mixes and wonky turntable that decides when it wants to quartz lock, keeping me on my toes.

Shout out to all Ninja and Mo-Wax heads, nods to the dope soundtrack beat necks. Featuring tracks by Funki Porcini, Raw Deal, Pressure Drop, The Heliocentrics, DJ Krush and more. Recorded 8th October, Amsterdam.

DJ Fly's 'Turntable Method' Tribetablism


http://ettt.wikispaces.com/THE+TURNTABLES+OF+THE+TRIBE


"he just went heeltapping through the winespilth
and weevily popcorks that were kneedeep round his own right
royal round rollicking toper's table, with his old Roderick
Random pullon hat at a Lanty Leary cant on him--James Joyce, Finnegans Wake. 1922-1939.
http://www.lycaeum.org/mv/Finnegan/viewpage.cgi?page=381

Tribetablism v1.0



In November 2008, after relocating to Amsterdam I started work on what I thought would become my first Novel but soon transformed into a website and multimedia project including screenplays, video, poetry and a special principle that I have dubbed 'Tribetablism': In short an esoteric Turntable ceremony that enables the disk spinner to basically time-travel, and in my 'Tribetablism' Universe, the Disks are set for 1936 and a series of meetings and work outs between various characters from Dr. Wilson's tribe, mentioned at the back of his book TSOG, that I highly recommend you read again, and gain.

"In placing these striking and active images of notable personages on the wheel, Bruno is pursuing his aim of combining ithe classical art of memory with Lullism. The revolving wheels of the Lullian art have become the places for the reception of images.--Frances A. Yates. The art of memory, pg 219.


ALTABLISM.

(from Open Source History)

"At length, E. K. was willed to go down into his chamber, and I did remain still at our Dineing Table till his return, which was within an hour or somewhat more. And at his return this he brought in writing....--John Dee, 420.


"Three things that must be done before you do anything: Discover who you are, discover where you re in the universe, take steps to clean up and order your environment so you can begin the conquest of your universe. -- Lon Milo Duquette


ALTURNATABLISM.


"If such power , as experience suggests, is
latent (though rarely Released) in the simplest words,
one would like to characterise the words More exactly.
Are they the oldest? They ought to be somehow the core
of Language, identifiable by tracing its history backward. –Hugh Kenner, The Pound Era, page 108.


TOWARDS TURNTABLE METHODS FOR MASS-NOVEL CONSTRUCTION.



The Altable method devised upon extensive travels around Europe over the last four years, is a new method retrofitted for the specific purposes of a literary based historical working - concerning characters and their dialogue - arranged and spliced with each other using the Altable.

The goal of building a NOVEL using the Altable method is just one use and one focused project to help launch the idea, afterall, the software coded, pressed and sealed into the disks can be whatever the Altable operator wishes to work with. Here i will explore some avenues of Altable technology as a scientific research tool, by deconstructing the components and then reasembling them using biological and human physiological metaphors.

Traces made upon the surface of a lake by a finn, leg or a wing or impressions found in mud or wet clay, impressions left by a foot or hoof, a hair or a finger are possible Altable processes impressed into the landscape and readable by a suitable stylus, amplification process.

Recordings of processes in nature are translated by linguistic metaphors into a tale for us to reinterpret, and then a new image. Spacetime binding creatures are cutting their way through a given medium leaving traces, made by objects and recorded by the objects that made them.

Balance (x), Tone (y), Volume (z).


Disk Templates:

Astrological Charts. Harmonic Musical Intervals and Chords. Enochian. Chinese Ideogramic. CNS RNA/DNA Genetic. Periodic Table. Mayan Dresden Codex. Beth Luis Nion.

Disk Mediums:

Wax. Clay. Wood. Glass. Metal. Stone. Pearl. Flesh. Papyrus. Fungus. Perspex. Vinyl. Cuttle Fish bone. Calcium.

Etching agents:

Saliva. Water. Spice Dyes. Blood. Sperm. Dew. Coconut milk. Chalk-Calcium. Toad-slime. Venom. Ink. Tears.

(2). MICROPHONE WAND:

Fingers. Bones. Veins-cables. Hairs, Stems, Veins, Penis, snake, tongue, neck, limbs,Brush, Wand of fire. Totem. Table legs, SOUTH.

The tubular wand geometrical model of the Tribetable Universe itself: an elongated donut. A hollow Tube. An infinite string stretch off to infinity in both the macro and micro scales, putting human beings roughly mid way between these extreme conditions of the hollow halo. Within the secret chamber wells of each nerve, worm-hole, root, string, cable, tree trunk, and hair we find conditions and certain Oscillation rates depending on geometrical and other factors, that, are exploited and modified in various was by the microwand-phone of fire when in use.

The great totemacrophone contains the Altable Universe itself, or a scaled down copy of it, within its endless tube. (created by more mirrors and optical technology). The Butterly microphones or microphones with wings can flitter about the Altable area, or plug themselves into a nearby mixer interface. Redecorated as an attractive flower, where the tongue of the Butterfly links its hollow tube into a cosmology of inner blooming things. A collide-o-scope and phalanx of mysterious objects and beings as you will, for example.

(3). CUPS HEADPHONES:

Sockets. Mouth. Lungs. Skull. Nose Cavity. Boobs. Buttocks. Blow holes, mouth, coconut shell, jelly-fish, flowers.Pond Water. Mirror. Taste. Tongue. WEST.

The headphone Cups also attatch to the mixer interface like the macrophone, using a cable, vine-tube. They provide both audio and visual feedback windows into other timespaces under observation and manipulation. Used either together as stereo headphones that split a single character dialogue channel or macrophone recording or provide two further seperate screens that can either each play a stereo or mono channel.

Visually the Heaphone Cups double-up as doodle-goggles, the head strap that links the two hemispheres of the speaker-phones contain an organic liquid crystal screen that provides similar multi-stereo views and/or single editing windows, possibly used to animate specific characters and dialogue into the landscape space or scene. The headphone cups also have an attatchment that reaches into the mouth to access the tongue and taste centers for further attenuation and synesthesia of the senses. Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch, Smell. Various frequencies and rhythms are programed triggers for associated gases, vapours and pheromones to be released in the vicinity of the altable.

(4). STYLUS:

Teeth. Tongue. Finger. Penis. Eyelash. Hairs. Sword, beak, tusk, claw, antennae, sting, tip, crystal, Calcium Build up, Icicle, to Cut to split with knife-blade, Stylus Cutting head, NOSE-AIR. East.

The cutting and etching function of the Altable styli’ combines with the electromagnetic pick-up stylus making a read/write sword/pen that encodes things made available from the internet of things, its groove signiture or scratch pattern is the code for accessing the web based archives and sound-image-chemical Shermon-Torrents. The Rhythm, the sound and the colour, the form? Within the realm of biological nature , the muck on your shoe, here we find cutting ants, hammering birds, clawing mammals, A walrus tusk stabbing at the ice, beavers teeth, maybe knawing upon logs and trees fallen in a river.

(5). TURNTABLE:

Waist. Neck. Eyeballs. Rotating Platform. Ball and Socket joint. Slices off the Tube donut. Tortoise. Disk Platter. Tank turret. Axis. Omnidirectional Spirit.

Each component of the rotating Altable device are constructed from a sub group of elements, from the periodic table of elelments, and so on into fields and deeper into spirits, winds and back to stars. A backtoback cosmology of the manifest Universe. Gas exchange and invisible forces as light as the wind animate the disks: Change and fluid Rotorio. The Revolutionary process of Change and becoming remains changed. The rotating platforms within the Altable Universe are spacetime-tables for the sound spirit to congress around.

The PIVOT. The axis and the vortex, the measurable rotational rates, torque and breaking settings enable extra manipulation of the software, combined with the operators editing wisdom. Placed within the context of the magickal pentagram of five elements, the rotational qualities of the Altable functions enable read/write activity utilizing the Stylus, when used in conjunction with a Microphone. With the addition of some in/out portals for the headphones cups and macrophone wand the Altable - when HYPERLINKED - consists of the 4 main elements and itself as the fifth.

MCGRAPHIC' Novel Landscapes can be read/written and interpreted - processed in novel ways, such as using an elaborate system of optics and mirrors that can map, translate and calculate the truly cosmic equations of Universe subtracted from itself, when attached to the rotating platform at a precise frequency based upon the frequency of a flashing strobe light. This strobe light addition to the Plush 9.0 Altable turns the device, effectively into an audio/visual projector. We at Joint Plush Labs work on the other side of time. MPHDJ Pattern identity based on the resolution of opposites.

* Tablet Run* Bat Runlet * Tablet Urn * NU Art Belt * Battle Urn * Terntabul* Tale Burnt * Battle Run

Neuro-chemical Info-genetics, and Nano-scale cognition constructors are areas of Altable research Plush currently finds interesting and suggests independent researchers, thinl again,and pursue cognitve language tools with research based experiments. Rhythm patterns transcend any given medium from sound through light to the sense of the matter. VIBRATIONS ensure a full spectrum of considerations when trying to measure gas.


TURNTABLE COMPONENTS.


“every external phenomena is like a dream, like a vision, like a bubble, like shadow, like dew, like lightning, and should be regarded as such’ –From the Diamond Sutra.

  • Aiwass Switch [TTT on/off]
  • RPM selector [33/3, 45, 78]
  • Plank Platter [Base]
  • Gyre Spindle [Axis pivot of Silver Birch composite]
  • Shannon Strobe Light [Illuminating beam & holo-guidance system]
  • Pro-skate Dirac dial [To adjust needle-groove coordinates]
  • Einstylus [Obsidian/Volcanic Sillica/Diamond tipped]
  • Compton Cartridge [Transform needle vibrations into electromagnetic]
  • Tone Arm [Straight or S-shape]
  • Hubble Height Adjust [Raise/Lower a Dimensional tone-army]
  • Newtons Crewing lever [Lifts/drops tone arm]
  • Maxwell Pitch Control [Sliding adjust control for fine key mixing]
  • Jung Junktion Box [Portal connextion to external devices]
  • Wiener Wireless Port [Facilitates wireless bluetooth communication]
  • Hamilton Feet [Four adjustable feet/wheels for mobile activity]
  • Parsons Fly’t Case [Watertight coffin for transportation in various environs]
  • Neumann Dust Cover [Retractable transparent protective shielding]


ALTABLE-TRIBETABLE COMPONENTS 2.0


Disks contain nano-bio-cog information pressed and sealed for any particular altable working, in this case the 1936-2010 co-ordinates:

  • Disk 1. A-side: Giles Chase. B-side: R. Jacky Muller
  • Disk 2. A-Side: Ira Pod. B-Side: Carson Wools.
  • Disk 3. A-side: Cutler Bates. B-side: Manfred Humanski.
  • Disk 4. A-side: James Shermon. B-side: Sonny Bob.

Each disk has audio/visual information concerning a specific character and their networks within the tale. Their individual methods, drives, styles, forces cut the historical grooves into the present. The disks can be manipulated by the hands, feet, tongue or elbow of the MPHDJ operator.

Steering the Einstylus needle to intersecting points in spacetime, producing conversational fragments and bits of communication. Spin-back or forwards produce sound bites or map coordinate to be interpreted by the operator. By lifting the stylus-sword off and out of the groove and moving it along to the next track can produce a dimensional shift. The method of cutting and editing 'on-the-fly' with dialogue disks is under daily modification, and requires preparation and tedious disciplinary exercises to remain relative.

The method builds toward an efficient way to analyze any sentence or sequence of words in a novel creative Tribetablist' way, and so opening the gates of perception to new arrangements and possibilities. The table top design was a John Disk/Esther Trippleknit piece crafted from bio-organic components, as to perfectly intersect with the operators tribetable tools, and co-ordinate the historical characteristics under investigation.

Roughly the size of a squared pool table, the four legs of the altable are each individual tribetable Totems themselves consisting of heads and self regenerative designs stacked upon each other, to form correspondence with the other three legs and Hamiltonian Qarternion Mechanics.


ALTABLE TOOLS:


The first tools used are the Picture-Disks that consist of 4 double sided 11 inch wax sigils, each placed upon the four corners of the table in their corresponding elemental positions, while the keystone disk sits in the middle like a panopticon.

The second tool used is the Brush Microphone Wand BMW which functions as a multipurpose - rod shaped object - made up of different species of wood lamenated together. The wand has a tiny microphone speaker embedded within the tip and Ostrich hairs held in the opposite end which can be used for applying various textured and colored media. To anything at the table.

The third tool is an elaborately carved diamond tipped Toad-Fly stylus sword, the diamond tipped stylus needle is held by a silver cast fruit fly, which in turn is held in place by the tongue of a Gold cast Toad, the toad serves the function of the traditional stylus cartridge, the fly’s proboscis acts as the tip of the needle.

The fourth of theTribetable tools are the speaker drum cups. These fit into the table at critical nodes to process, amplify, translate, and mirror the signals they receive and transmit. Together, these tools and their correspondences within the historical tale, present a new-structure for the Novel to unfathom for itelf in the later editing and re-arrangement processes.

The Altable-Tribetable itself becomes a fifth element. The center piece of the research tabaltar, which all the other tools plug into in various ways at various moments modifying their function in imaginative ways. Beneath the material realm of mechanical and electromagnetic components an assortment of biological nano-scale chlorophyll projectors, tiny engines and processors are spewing liquid crystal coated spore-bricks and lucerferin inside micro-micro-droppers. Together the tiny machines read and write information from the symbol systems rotated beneath the plank scale to make Nano-Graff RSS feeds to the sub atomic realms.

Millions of Delicate and tiny photons are dispersed from the rim of the rotating platter called tsar-bits, the diamond tipped styli make analogous cuttings of these bits, calculated by using astrological coordinates, these processes continue way down beneath the range of natural human vision. The various maps, charts, and symbols systems from each of the major historical characters fit onto the platter area for the operator to manipulate, modulate, amplify, set into phase, make stereo, cut-up again, juggle, scribble, rewind, juggle, scratch.

The Tribtable itself turns the Microphone, Disks, Stylus, Speakers (MDSS), and these FIVE ELEMENTS outline the functional tools used for creating a TTOTT timespace machine.

Gregory James Band

http://www.gregoryjames.com/
It is often said that art and commerce don’t mix, but that’s just one of the many myths that Contemporary Jazz Guitarist, Gregory James has broken down during his musical odyssey. Gregory has recorded ten albums and been invited to perform alongside such musicians as McCoy Tyner, Sergio Mendes, Ray Charles, Max Roach, Mark Isham, and Steve Smith’s Vital Information. Gregory James’ music celebrates, and sonically connects, the two cities that have most shaped him, and in the words of Downbeat magazine, “Bridges the gap between musical adventure and mass appeal.”

Born in San Francisco, James began studying guitar with David LeRoy Smith at the age of 11, and by 15 he was jamming in some of The City’s finest after-hours joints with the likes of Amandio Cabral, Eddie Duran, and Vince Guaraldi. While studying with the great Brazilian guitarist, Bola Sete, Gregory James was listening to The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Charles Lloyd and Kenny Burrell, and beginning to experiment with fusion.

In the 1970s he left San Francisco to dive into the New York jazz scene, and was soon on the bandstand with such players as Bobby Scott and Chico Hamilton. He was signed to New York’s Inner City Records label, and released the debut of the Gregory James Quartet, Alicia, in 1978, featuring bassist Andre St. James, drummer Randy Merritt, saxman Barry Shulman, and percussionist Baba Daru. After two years of touring and playing the New York scene he resettled in San Francisco and joined saxman Shulman in the punk-jazz quartet Video Rouge.
In 1982 James returned to instrumental music, forming the Rogue Records label. He recorded two jazz-rock albums with his electric quartet, Madagascar and ALPHABET TOWN, and a duet album, TIBET, with Shulman. James’ genre-bending creativity won praise on the pages of Guitar Player.

To satisfy his growing interest in world musics, James began studying flamenco guitar with Jason McGuire, and put away his electric axe for an acclaimed duet with bassist Kai Eckhardt, THE SEARCH . The album ANANDA followed, a world jazz mélange that blends nylon-stringed, electric and MIDI guitars with the beautiful brass and woodwind tones of Ron Miles and Paul McCandless (Oregon), backed by a rhythm section of Marc and Paul Van Wageningen and Peter Michael Escovedo. James then brought in Yellowjackets saxophonist Mark Russo to collaborate on the radio-friendly album, TRAVELER.

By 2001’s REINCARNATION album, James was playing some saz, incorporating violinist Jenny Scheinman, turntablist DJ Fly, the spoken word of Craig Easley and Catie Murphy and talking drum of Rasaki Aladokun atop an already rich musical landscape. COME TO ME, produced by Benny Reitveld (Miles Davis, Santana) in 2003, is perhaps the most complete realization of James’ flamenco-jazz stylings with elements from hip-hop, classical, funk, rock and world beat and a guest list including Karl Perrazo and Raul Rekow of Santana, keyboardist Peter Horvath, Rita Thies, Alex Murzyn and Baron Shul on woodwinds, and DJ Fly, among the crew.

Gregory James’ most recent album, SAMSARA, is a momentary return to gentler times. It’s a quartet date featuring bassist Jonathan Herrera, drummer Deszon Claiborne, and longtime saxman Baron Shul, highlighted by a delightful take on The Beatles’ “And I Love Her.”

Besides performing with his San Francisco-based quartet, Gregory James recently began recording with producer Cookie Marenco on The Valence Project, along with a growing cast of musical characters that includes drummer/programmer Brain (Primus, Tom Waits), bassists Jon Herrera and Kai Eckhardt, and vocalists Melissa Reese and Deborah Charles. Fans of Bill Laswell’s Material will be excited by these exotic and emphatic sounds. As always with Gregory James – stay tuned!

SIXTY: a Novel by Steve Fly Agaric 23' Excerpt.


SHOWER SING-SONG SCENE
From SIXTY: A Novel by Steven James Pratt


Joe sang in a number of
different keys
and 'styles'
some might say

chanting squeaking,
wrapping to deploy one
word snapshots:
I was washing the brow with now,
running with the water asking am I wet,
how much on the bet, the next set of ideas,
who will go with me in conversation, in business,
who will believe this life I lead,
and take the seeds I sprinkle,
thinking of sinking the battleships of
unbalance through these lips,

taking each moment as strips, reading in reels,
clicking my heels and going into the ceiling,
what thoughts can get at it,
get at all in the feeling,
tongue tired must keep sealing
the fate of air particles,
ear to ear and head inside the Hsien-glider,
turned on the hot tap,
sqeeze the mapple syrup through the nozzel,
lips to nibble the ear world,
eyes to dabble the haze landscape,
a hedgehog in a cape, floating without water,
a mind-high you doing,
bad vibes traced out and back
again to play again,
remixed tricks of the grade,
call a shovel a spade,
heads spun and sprayed,
serving home made lemonade.

I am under the waterfall,
meteorites in each drip,
satelites encircle each drop,
clip-clop go the feet of the wooden folk,
tea and biscuits served in a tartan steel box,
around the fire,
thanks for the tree and the meal,
cheers for the cheers for the cheers,
such small talk passed by my ears,
got caught on an ear-ring
swung around the head
into a song about face.

Time around my neck like
clock hands interlocked,
time creeps under my bed,
around the rooms I roam,
in my hair like foam,
strings of lemon grass sweet
links between our sinks,
funnels and tunnels to our
past head gears, locked,
blocked, my rip roaring free
writing mocked,
trigger cocked and sheep flocked,
my lyric keeps me afloat,
solving the equation
advising not to vote,
don't vote for those fuckers
vote for your friends,
your facebook community as
Government entity,
spent plenty gob fulls on
social network,
how about some blow jobs,
the time around our body like lotion,
rubbed and medically applied,
60 jars of melted mars bars,
turned back into liquid, used
to bruise the brand
remake the sand every time

re-draw the bandwidth,
the stage-gauge,
the page depth of breadth
of field of view,
the space and time tiff seems overdone
still overdue, the day after
yesterday, tea time now
the flow of shower power
grows on me like moss
the teeth and the floss

the few days left
the sweat coming from under
my right cleft,
the gigs and the meetings,
the work and the eating,
the time it takes to bake a
cake and blog a new view,
to who knows who,
who listens to these blog
word wonders anyhow,
who's recording this,
nobody I hope and I'll
continue inuuendo and
reason for bliss,
kiss the dome hat and the
sky arch pussy
union of being
of being in union,
like concentric rings
of an oinion,
I'll make you cry like
a funnion

Trumpets from above and
gloves sewn into a
dove pattern fit the lady of bikes,
she rides past the supermarket trolley,
the cars and the large articulated lorries,
awkwardly parked like armadillo's,
like a word that don't fit,
traffic skewes the landscape
out of balance,
speed and greed perception on
low level street journey
we peek the street only
once a week but when kids
every night rain,
snow and wind we would
blend into the footpath,
the park and roads, out in the
dark exchanging our odes,
kids without direction, building
language and tuff skin,
getting into trouble outside
of school and flipping
every sin you could think of,
finding an edge to rebellion,
courting the gouls and impressing fools,
masking the making of trouble
with innocent ignorance
don't want to look or consider
to reconsider the data,
my teenage ego knows,
and I knows what's what,
it goes like this,
fuck off, we'll kick your
head in old man,
fuck off
now the path winds into
a spiral maelstrom
down to the deeper depths,
raps of critic
raps of injustice, raps
against power
angry, fire filled raps, but what
of the words bounce and softness,
the leaking perfume itching
behind your ear,
of nothing, the ephemeral
emerald of now,
the kind of thoughts a security
guard woulod guard
without pay for eternity
just to know they are safe, in love
the romance lock to the door,
your hands and legs sprawled out
on the floor
truth fucked in the ass, in the mouth,
the sex and body of beauty
and slang banged together
like two elk heads,
complicated jagged sharp sticks,
branched in starnge ways,
but the simple body parts fit,
thats it, give it to me,
thanks, the body and mind
leave the field altogether,
mind-sex left in the
comments section,
who's fucking who, who
cares, who knows, who stares,
who stars in their bra's and
rides Jaguar's,
who be in the sun strip
glitter of expense,
giving faked 'value'
to cheap products,
who put the people in the pictures
and paint the pictures of the people
what kind of a shampoo is this
who's business

whig and wags of the tails
of stale M.P's talking rubbish,
daft dense wafts of smoke,
as Flav said, 911 is a joke,
still to these war pigs,
slaughter of innocent
always innocent,
slaughter of the guilty
may revel in excess,
take these words and
put them in boxes,
take them out again
and re-dress,
address the fact the word's gone
page burnt away and only
sounds and lights left,
sacred drift

Catching acrylic worlds,
building a school and a
 hospital and a college in each neuron
each bit, everywhere fit
for consumption,
fit for connection,
fit for health and fitness,
live to see the expanse and contraction,
the contraction, the contraption,
the contra-distinction between
 tincture and reefer,
between size, and temperature,
giving smiles and stuff in each puff,
giving nod and the feeling of yes I will,
lets do it,
lets go for it and build up
 our free resource,
our friendship,

set sail and meet with warm
 feet and a loud hi,
please excuse me while I kiss the sky,
the stars are crying and
the milky way
blushes when you
walked in the room,
I knew the blues were close,
I could smell the toast
and eggs on our pillow,
jam and feta sitting on
 the side there ontop of your sweater,
the letter you wrote

the boat I took
the look of love and book of sweetness...
removed from the library
shelves of our township,
something lost and now a gain, again,
grasping the moon with the
 hand, the stars the earth,
grasping salt grains, grabbing at straws,
the wonder of disorganized religion,
the the the...

lack of cohesion, and order,
the disorder of Universe,
reflected in this verse,
in the world purse that
 opens up like a Porn
star's Vagina
when a big dick nation
wants some booty,
last I heard about 8 Billion
could provide adequate food
housing and shelter to
 the worlds population,
instead mutilation,
more bombs and listen...
I beat those drums again,
of p[ain and injustice,
the balance of my plug
mouth must muster up the mustard spice,
re-align with what's right and provide
the best gloss that I could put up,
put up the fists for the fight
 and celebrate the wins,
we win and they loose,
we win with each injustice
 and each death and each lie
and each bruise,
the nasty violent bastards
 of sick and twisted nations
by a peace loving amicable
society, we balance
inside of me lies the
core of each thought
I spew up onto the sports field,
what my minds revealed,
is to keep the sleep at
 bay with a continuous
babble... much like the
 records play.`
