lesson 1

unexplained has to be ok

Night tree

This summer has been a mix up. The clear thread that runs through is a space appearing in which to work instead of squashing ideas into the routine of everything else, with which they sit uncomfortably.
Starting to carry this space around all the time, even in the crash and chaos of employment. Seeping ideas in to eyes and skin and limbs and having space when it is there. Working with minds that see in straight lines much more clearly than my side ways moves, without flattening the edges. Listening to trains and walking with wonky hips. We sat in the garden in the dark and talked it over. "This can hold together".

Shimmy Rivers And And Canal
Shimmy Rivers And And Canal are a UK beat combo that was formed in Dalston, London in 2003.
In 2005 Resonance FM released a collection of demo recordings. The same year, the band played at Resonance FM’s 3rd Anniversary event at the Conway Hall, and in 2006–2007 hosted the station’s ‘Daddy Said So Land’ radio show, with live sessions, and interviews with Alexa Chung, Let’s Wrestle and Sonny Tufts.
Shimmy Rivers and and Canal disbanded in February 2009, playing a final gig at Barden’s Boudoir on February 27. The band released a 7″ record on the Siltbreeze record label in January 2009. Their debut album, Forks, recorded and mixed by Capitol K, was released in 2009.
Members of the band included Scout Niblett, and Koichi and Niiyan from Screaming Tea Party.
The band have recently reformed and are writing new material.
The most thoroughly “out there” rock band of the last decade, creators of “utterly timeless” music in the opinion of WFMU’s Dave Mandl.
“Shimmy Rivers were playing in the Utrophia project space long before I think they knew they were a band.
In fact, a manifestation of the Shim played at Utrophia’s first ever opening party at the Engine House many moons ago.
I remember that they then had a cd with millions of tunes on it consisting of loads of different people and kinds of sounds, all of which stitched together to create a blanket of people living in an area at a certain time.
It was incredibly inspiring.” Utrophia
“Shimmy changed and morphed shape loads of times but always had a raw trundling energy about them.Like an indignant wriggling frantic child, bending and trying to destroy the very song they were playing. Which is pretty darn exciting to watch.”

open frame // play for today

sea birds that look for their cages
traps that keep their jaws wide
walk into unforgiving places
planting trees still breathing seething
the skys still milk and like your eye
the light falls on most of the leaves
and despite decisions poorly thought of
i shape the next word and the next time and
you look for open eyes in circles

eccentric non sense loops at nowhere . com
the institution contacts you
to tell you how
you aren't relevant
unless you can
follow the instruction
endless answering machine messages 
automated texts
no reply return to sender emails
the institution tells you
there is no grass, no trees, no sky, ground, no gravity, no sound
only command text

a bad night

locks on the doors
protect the vulnerable
male sway over
stances overbearing
eyes glaring
this is the night
in electric lights
standing over us
the system is driving
down narrow corridors

the vulnerable are powerful
time programmed
you work
call and demand
shift workers frustration
soaking up anger
becoming another
subjects are crawling
biting stealing
punching strangling
actions are futile
catharsis
closing and opening
shitting words
protecting the vulnerable
the logistics of the institution
safety is spatial
and reversal demands
locks on the doors
