Tomorrow at Entanglements in Observatory, me and Stanley will perform 3 improvised songs using a small synth, lots of reverb + delay, and some field recordings on a tape loop. This is a clip of an early practice session.
Audience will get to pick the chords randomly from a bag.
Marlene van Wyk talks about documenting old storytellers in the Brandvlei area of the Northern Cape.

There I saw one I knew, and called him, crying:
Stetson! You who were with me in the ships at Mylae.
That corpse you planted last year in your garden:
Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
Oh, keep the dog far hence, that's friend to men,
Or with his nails, he'll dig it up again.
You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!
@MageVivika@tremblegay@cannibality Me too, I closed my right eye now. And the shape of the view from left eye is identical to Figure 1. Can even see some eyebrow hair.
@emilykmay Damn, it's only through your tweet that I realised now that "10/40 venster" was not a concept invented by my childhood church here in South Africa. I see an Argentinian evangelical strategist coined the term in 1989. My church had a map on the wall with that rectangle in red.
