“…outskirts of Sky City above me, looming towers of wrecked cranes festooned with jagged sheet metal, trailing cables, plastic sheeting… swirling like octopus tentacles in the cloud—}”.
Sesshu Foster and Arturo Ernesto Romo, “ELADATL: A History of the East Los Angeles Dirigible Air Transport Lines”, 2021
“I do my best to avoid any kind of shock. I’ve been fooling myself this way for long enough that it’s become a habit, and now nothing affects me”.
Izumi Suzuki, “Terminal Boredom”, 1980
“There is nothing left for me to do but scream."
Kay Sage, 1961
In the time of existential vagueness and mundane trials, Dino and Tik dusted off their Zeughaus of heteroclite contraptions and weaved another ornate tapestry from erinaceous non-sequitur sequences, jentacular off-samples, pauciloquent underbuzz, lots and lots of ulotrichous cadences, anti-zoanthropical detours into winklerpicker tomfoolery, and good old neuroStar-Bambient which defies any imputations of kakorrhaphiophobia!
So, behold this moolumbic lamprophony, this bolt-throwing guarperatonal agastopia, and rememba the TIME!
All of this just to avoid the inevitable and attract the unfelt!

Set aside an hour and let this composition wash over and through you. It might seem at first listen that not much happens but by the third go-round it transports you into a trance state of sang froid that once experienced is life-changing. It is that powerful. Mark Burgess
