"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one
of you in all Time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be
lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine: how good it is; nor how valuable it is; nor how it
compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that
motivate you. Keep the channel open … no artist is pleased…there is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is
only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the
others.” -Margaret Mead.
We are now the Ghost Quartet. We're still stopping the robot, but under the official title of Ghost Quartet. In any
process comes the introduction, gradual acceptance, standardization, and shortly thereafter, the rapid fall into
disfavor through excessive use.
Rural Massachusetts. Experimental. Trying to break the cycle. Of executive design. Too many clones. Can't breathe.
Too much make-up. Not us. In the air. Break the cycle. Double think. Robots. Not us. Robots. Can't think. Double
think. Welcome to the future. Cycle. Caged. We are Stopping th Robot. Rusty sky. Can't think. Double think. There's
a short in the system. Break. Static electric moment. Automatic sky. The proof's in the projection. Evaporate and
ionize. Campfire. Sandcastle. Color. Bummer. Cycle. With the fundamental, comes the decomposition into
harmonics.
"The band built up an impressive piece of music, going from a fistfight swing into funky cacophony and back again.
Barrett's bass was muscular and bruising, the horns nagged, then suddenly the improvised music opened out to a
serene clearing, a harmonious G-sharp, until Holmes skritched a dissonant melody line on his electric guitar. Soon
the sounds morphed into a dixieland reggae skank .. .and then it all petered out." --- Ken Mauri - Hampshire Gazette
