  • Jamm Pro (spiracy) coming together of music.

    Jamm Pro (spiracy) coming together of music.

    Jamm Pro is a music production and remix APP for I-pad, and the only digital APP I’ve used in my digital music since 2012.  

    Matt Black and Jonathon Moore are two halves of Coldcut, a music production and performance duo that have been at the seeding edge of electronic dance music culture for four decades. Besides their musical output and live DJ performances, Coldcut have consistently produced tools made for DJ’s, both analogue tools, such as the 12” vinyl–DJ Toolz–series from 1993. 

    JP is a part of a lineage of open-source tools for independent music producers and DJ’s. Matt Black in particular has helped manifest this Coldcut ethos in APPs aimed at the I-Pad touch-screen interface, intuiting how the innovations made at Apple could be repurposed for music production and performance. Accordingly, with each major update to the I-Pad comes updates and extended functionality of the APP. This lineage of the development from Coldcut–and by association the groundbreaking independent label NinjaTune–is important to me as it distinguishes them from many other APP manufacturers by their consistent, core artistic values.  

    A prospiracy is the coming together of forces for the betterment of all parties. What I see as the challenge or aim of the game with Jamm Pro, is both playing and creating TunePacks, seeking harmony and coherence, searching for the perfect beat. Jamm Pro forces anybody with ears to reconsider musical genres and try to figure out where one spills into another. Make it new, make it cohere.

    There’s a host of instructional videos and demonstrations at Youtube, plus the APP itself features a detailed manual and on-screen “help” overlay which I found very useful. Matt Black does a weekly live Jamm Cast under the Pirate TV moniker, broadcasting on Twitch, Youtube, and Mixcloud where you can witness Matt hammering and pushing the APP to the outer limits, plus soothing visual candy and positive news items blended in.

    Equipped with four main channels, each with nine sequencers — six modulation sequencers, a slice sequencer, a pitch/reverse/drill sequencer and a gate sequencer — and up to 64 patches per set, Jamm Pro allows for a possible 2,304 sequencers per Sound Set in the app.

  • INTRODUCTION TO CORONA SLAYER

    Since March 2020, Squintin Quarantino has been writing rhymes in a ‘first thought best thought’ manner, presented here with little editing.

    This is the second installment following on from the first ‘Corona Slayer E.P’ (released in September 2020. I trust these rhymes will cohere for you. Starting with the global lockdown 1 in March 2020, rhymes helped me to crawl through the last sixteen months. Besides straight ahead prose writing and my experimental novel: Deep Scratch, this SQ outlet helped cleanse my racing mind.

    SQ is intent on spreading rhymes and scrutiny of the Covid response, in equal measure, focused on the UK and Holland. The growing abyss between the rich and poor, and lack of support for providing food, clothing and shelter for all humanity has tripled the blow on the vulnerable. Now’s the time to take personal responsibility. #coronaslayer

  • From My Interview With Robert Anton Wilson 2002

    [I remember that in Palm Springs; December 2000 you said: “If the United States government wasn’t trying to dominate the whole world, we wouldn’t be threatened by terrorism.]

    RAW: That’s just before they fired me, [laughs] isn’t that an odd coincidence?

    [some “Prophecy” from the Prophets Conference, I reckon]

    RAW: Yeah well, that’s why if your gonna run a commercial Prophets’ Conference you don’t want any real prophets so they’re not gonna disturb everybody. In Illuminatus! I had terrorists blow one wall off the Pentagon – just like happened, and in Schrödinger’s Cat I had Wall Street blown up just like what happened and I don’t claim this is ESP or precognition, it’s just common sense. The United States cannot go on bombing two thirds of the world year after year, decade after decade, over and over without somebody hitting back eventually, I knew it had to happen, you don’t need ESP you just need a little horse sense. CNN keeps referring to it as “the day the world changed,” well the world didn’t change; people have been dropping munitions on one another ever since Nobel invented modern munitions. People love dropping bombs on one another, it’s one of the favourite human pastimes, they’re almost willing to give up football , I mean – it’s been going on for ages, the only thing that changed is that the United States has been doing most of the bombing for the last 50 years and everybody got used to that, oh yeah we got to bomb another country for their own good, it’s only collateral damage. The United States gets bombed and they say the world changed. The world didn’t change, it’s just the United States got included in with the rest of the world. If you go around bombing people year after year, decade after decade; you’ll have somebody bombing you back, Jesus!, no, no; that’s not the reason they did it, they hate us for our freedom , all the freedoms like the freedom to pee into a jar before you get a job interview, that’s the kind of freedom we really need.

    [Instead of throwing shit we might just “pee” on one another you know] [laughs]

    RAW: I’m more and more examining Jerry Falwell’s idea that God joined Al Qaeda, you know he said that right after the thing; he said – “God joined Al Qaeda because there were too many gays, feminists and ACLU lawyers in the United States,” – and apparently he thinks there are no gays, feminists or ACLU lawyers in the territory controlled by Al Qaeda, so that’s where his god is obviously strongest, or that his god helped the planes hit their targets, and I’m more and more inclined to believe that. God seems to me – as my leg problems get worse and worse – God seems to me like the character described by Jerry Falwell and Osama Bin Laden – he’s a mean, rotten, Sadistic son-of-a-bitch, that’s the only kind of god that makes any sense to me, which is why the three religions I like most; Confucianism , Buddhism and Taoism never say anything about God at all, they don’t even deny god, well Buddhism does, or some Buddhist sects do very explicitly. I remember the first time I ever heard the Dali Lama was on BBC and the interviewer said “some people say Buddhism has no god is that right,” and the Dali Lama said “yes very true,” and the interviewer said “but isn’t the Buddha mind something like god?” and the Dalai Lama said – “the Buddha mind is the inside of all things, it is not an almighty creator,” – Jee’ a religious leader who makes some sense. I read a book by him and I didn’t find any bullshit in it at all. As the one living 100% bullshit free religious leader on this planet, they haven’t found another – well maybe Bob Dobbs, [laughs] O.K; he seems bullshit free too – well he’s not bullshit free, but the bullshit is highlighted with jokes and so you know it’s a joke. All the rest of them remind me of “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” the wizard of Oz.
