The Far View

July 28, 2015 by Aaron andre de korvin, poetry, techno, the four hard edges of war, third option


Here’s the second track on The Four Hard Edges Of War – The Far View.

What can I say here? As I listen I’m trying to remember how to play that piano part. It’s amazing how much you can forget. Oh there’s two piano parts. I do that a lot. Like a duet – only I’ll record in the same range – so it’s like two actual pianos rather than four hands one piano.

I love the line “..that emptiness starts to fill their space…”. I always found the poem/book (The Four Hard Edges Of War) so amazing because it’s so surreal but then if you look again at the language it’s SO plain. I think Andre’s a big ‘ol genius.

There’s all this scheme programming in this one I think. And multiple versions of the drum loop that are messed up in various ways.

“Awake and drifting through the water…”

“red faces of admirals flicker..”

That’s kind of how I hear poetry when it’s read, in these snippets surrounded by un-languaged energy swirling around. I hadn’t noticed that that’s how I then used the poem in this bunch of avante garde ass techno dance music. I was thinking of it like samples you might hear in a night club. We always thought of Third Option that way. You’d go to an underground club and hear the boom boom chi boom and then some snippet of a movie or something – it might say “danger danger go go go” or something and we wondered what it would be like if those snippets were actual poetry – and original. So here’s Andre doing this thing in snippets – and it’s much different – but hopefully honors, Andre’s meaning and energy in his original poem and reading. Of course we made the original reading available too, because HEY! 🙂 Here’s that:

Ha Ha when I hear him say stuff, I expect the beat to come in…and then it doesn’t! lol

Wow. “I would like to sleep, oblivious, of the thousand faces of corruption.” Yep.

HEY! Here’s a thing – you can now grab a couple FREE Third Option tracks – just click HERE and enjoy on me! 🙂
