I've today posted a Project associated with my mix 'Jane ('Northern' Mix). It's a modest enterprise comprising just a handful of loops and sounds already treated but you are welcome to do further damage.

'God': Prophecy refilled.
It took all the arrayed loopage of The Dave's Purpose Project to bait me out fully of Tapegerm retirement but with "God", read by my new UK voice protege the wondrous Asa Seljestad, the prophecy is indeed refilled. Listen,learn,love.

Zombie for Love
Ok, so I haven't done much here for too long. Back today with a new composition in tandem with long-time 'germ star collaborator The Dave. Let it Blood.
And what have I been doing? So much that I can't hardly write it all here. A healthy smattering of Tapegerm output on my new online release UNROCK on Electronic Musik. A whole pile of new work with Don Tyler (see link) and new work with The Dave coming soon.
Meanwhile the debut Carbon Manual album is underway in its mixing. And my beloved Barracudas are playing Tokyo, and Italian festivals, soon.

Regermination
Rather pleasing and validating to see 5 of my co-compositions in the vital 20! Here is a video created by Welsh artist Scott Gently for Mann's lastest masterwork.
Yes, friends as of date two new loops of my creation have been posted. "Ambient", a field recording put through Hell, and "O.d.'d", a howling buzz, for your enjoyment.

No Slacking Allowed: A Call to Mix!
OK, so I take my eye off the remix ball a few days and the flood becomes a trickle. I know you people have lives, wives, jobs, hobbies, and all that...stuff but what kind of crass selfishness dictates that for 24 hours no more mixes of my velveteen voice and pretty poetry have been posted?
I'm not running a retirement home around here, you know!
So remove that keester from the couch, peel away from those potato chips, make the control for a moment more remote, get to the studio of your own devising and make happy a lonely man desperate to feel needed...who could die at any time...but if you don't do a mix, please, don't feel guilty! -->please comment (3)

"I have a dozen mixes waiting for new voice tracks.

NEW SPOKEN WORD "Victim of Dreams: A Reading" Loop for Use
I have posted a new and rather unusual loop. Created a few years ago now, it is a (somewhat lengthy) reading by myself from my memoir "Victim of Dreams - Civil War in the Soul". My delivery is a little fast but there might be something for you here, as there is a lot of intense text. Make of it what you will :-)

Happy Loop Year!
It is not Tapegerm-sticky but here is a quirky vid I threw together for my "Whisper" project with Suicide/New York Dolls mentor Marty Thau. It's the great legacy of acts like Suicide that informs a lot of what we here @ TG do so good.
Time now to say a big end of year thanks to all of you who remixed me.
Here's to a 2011 full of loopy lunacy and the usual genius as standard.
One wishes in this day and sage to feel like a franchise so it's refreshing when more and more 'germinators cart off parts of my mind in the form of my words and voice the better to make and milk.
Welcome to Gluckco then one Slave Labour, an artiste of Anglo extraction (distraction?) whose 2 nu (insert abstract and witty Gluckworthy prose here) mixes of my "unterzone" spoken word loop are now loaded and ready to zing off in your ears.
At this time of year it's always good to listen to a lost middle-aged man ruminate on nature of reality and illusion so knock ourself out with this double fun-packed outpouring from someone I can only call...someone. Anyhow, it's slave, it's labour...it's Slave Labour!
"Jeremy will not stop until all Tapegerm has been absorbed into his maddened zone. However, this has a side effect; the production of great mixes as in the latest from Slave Labour and Omnitechnomatrix. Now where is the Zee Mann's mix?"-- David Fuglewicz (on 12/25/10 05:46:39)
NEW SPOKEN WORD "unterzone" Loop for Use
It's here in time for Christmas! Yes, this year everybody will want the sequel spoken word loop to the last Fuglewicz-Gluck epic, 'Saneworld'. Imagine the joy around the tree of your beloved when he or she peels back the foil and ribbons to find this baleful, hypnotic and transfixing piece on the nature of personal reality, disillusionment and lost love! So let it rip, colleagues, it's going to be a merciless Jeremy Gluck Christmas! And watch out for the Fuglewicz-Gluck mixxx that will strip paint, cure cataracts and kill 'roaches.
"You're so darned sensitive! It is a tribute to the hardiness of the roach that it takes my most potent outpouring yet to subdue the critters!"-- Jeremy Gluck (on 12/18/10 12:21:59)
"Hey, I take offence at the killing roaches comment. Maybe I should send some Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches to you for Giftmas via parcel post. "-- Zebra Mann (on 12/18/10 10:59:21)
The Tapegerm Work Ethic
Greetings! A short and mercifully intelligible post from yours truly to note and thank as re: the regular outpouring of mixes including my material. slave labour, Zebra Mann and Dave "You don't have to be crazy to work with Jeremy Gluck but it helps" Fuglewicz and more have lately enshrined my mind in their aural confections. Stay tuned for the sequel to Saneworld (aka Sane World) and who knows what elks. From me, for now, unter and in.

Saneworld Loops
The "Saneworld" loops are now available in my Loop Projects directory.
They comprise several takes of mine, named "Saneworld", plus two
files, named "C8" and "C800" which are the takes done by C8 and which are used in the "Epic" mix posted here along with the shorter "Sane" mix which uses only my voice.
"Going to make it group thing and get my loops up to my Open Loops."-- David Fuglewicz (on 11/08/10 22:12:17)
VIDEO: Saneworld (Epic Mix)
I work with a lot of very talented people here and do a lot of work I am rightly proud of largely by virtue of their talent. Dave Fuglewicz is a gifted electronic composer it's my privilege to collaborate with. This video is for the longer "Saneworld" mix he created.
"Saneworld" is one of my pet pieces, a reflection on the world of the "sane" versus those determined less mentally whole.
Dave Fuglewicz has done a mighty mix using these loops, external to this site; I am now inviting you all to create your own interpretation.
There is one take of the core text (here copied) and two versions done as "cutup".
Saneworld
I’m looking for something I can’t lose
I almost lost it
I’m snowblinded and underfed
I’m supposed to be finding out
I’m losing in
I didn’t lose it, I lost myself
I was lost, now I’m finding
No records of value are kept
I have no map that isn’t burning
I’m not a suitcase, I never packed
I’m not alone, the terminal is full
The lines follow the horizon at right angles
I’m going in corners
Instead of limping around the point, let’s cut it loose
I’m an explorer, a random discoverer
I am lost and wish to remain so
I reject that in this world madness is a distinct or important reality.
Interestingly, some of the greatest criminals in history were not insane.
And nor were the minority that permitted them with their apathy to let their crimes be perpetrated at length
It takes a mad man to kill one man
It takes a sane man to hill one hundred thousand
I reject the description of a Hitler or a Stalin as insane.
They were at the apex of sanity, and saw that the collective unconscious is scarred with its own cruelty and can be used.
The insane are at the edges, like hungry dogs, existing on the scraps of the sane.
But important for their explorations, beyond and behind and inside the SANEWORLD.
I disdain your SANEWORLD
It is known
It has nothing to teach me
And by stumbling out of it into the explorer role I glimpse freedom from the sane and their dreary, self -important cruelty
If this sounds radical, it’s because you hear it only from habitual sanity
I’m nothing to lose; I love it when you say ‘It’s all in your mind’, as though the predictable stupidities of SANEWORLD are less deluded.
Unless you’re like me, I’m bored with you, and that makes us about square
What makes me laugh is that one is mad, acts mad, and is accused of madness and denigrated for being mad, and for being
And that the sane are blind to their insanity
It’s highly amusing, remarkable, that the supposedly sane are so crippled with self importance over their superior mental state
Yet we are all explorers
My exploration is of your madness, to know it and feel it
Yours is to be sane and rejoice in it
I don’t need as many reasons for things as you, and that’s my taste of freedom
You want answers which I have, but no questions and so no context
What do I need answers for?
I am an explorer of the unfindable and the snow blind
"The only thing better than your words, dear Jeremy, is your voice. I think you could read the phone book and keep me mesmerized. My brain has an almost carnal lust for the tone and timbre of your voice. How insane is that?"-- Zebra Mann (on 10/21/10 21:57:28)
Video: Slide - Jeremy Gluck - Emily Griffiths - Tapegerm 10 Years Infection Project

Video: Mental Anguish I Carry In Me My Mother (Like A Package Mix)
First you can't get sight of me, now you can't get rid of me. Apart from several more vid's in my sudden "What I Did on My Tapegerm Vacation" visual series, I am now planning new EPs for iTunes release with Dave "The Remix King" Fuglewicz and Chris Phinney's Mental Anguish squish. Also expect a slew of new Tapegerm-related remixes of my own Tapegerm-related, uh, relations. And on top of that there is more to come, but I haven't even conceived of it yet but know I will and that is the same thing as saying it is.

Tapegerm Remix Archives Redux! Have yourself some big fun!
O'er these years many of you, for reasons of your own generally unfathomable to me, have decided to take up my enlightened self-interest remix-wise and create some awesome work. To celebrate my own domain I am creating a directory chock full of TG remix goodness. If you are looking to cull some time, go get some. There's something for everybody, and even if by some bizarre misfortune you haven't remixed my stuff yet...it is now!

Wow, this loopmania around the 10 Year has really catalysed a lot of already jet burners! It's exciting to have so many things become so many other things. I myself am now embarked on a new top secret 10 year track, to be unveiled in due course. All of which foregoing convolution is by way of a thank you to you and you and you, too. In time many of these things using my things will become a thing available net-wide via Spotify and other profit-poor platforms of doom for the once-earning artist. Still, at least it looks good. And the GUI is dandy! -->please comment (1)
"Not sure exactly what you are saying here, other than you like the Infection project, which I think is quite obvious, and as for your top secret project, I can hardly wait, although a quick call to the Men in Black would give me the answer, but spoil the surprise.
I agree the 10 year project has been very successful. I've found some very incredible loops to play with here. Thanks to all the loop artists that have made my job as a mixer so easy!"-- Zebra Mann (on 05/21/10 11:35:05)

Infected Spoken Words Loopage
Under my Infection Project nom de loop "The Other Mind", I will be posting a new cycle of spoken word material featuring my poetry being read by a variety of new voices. Latest in this series is two poems - "Volatile" and "Innocence" - read by English artist Jack Wrigley. I prize Jack's voice for its timeless yet legacy British qualities, redolent of the classic Great War vintage of W.H. Auden and his like.
In addition we have London-based South African expat Michael Fleck reading. More of work from both these fine fellers to follow.
Please listen to these loops - I am so glad to see Hannah Galli here, too, adding to the spoken word count! - and see if they trigger/inspire any loop-related activity. All for 01, and 01 for all! -->please comment (2)

"Div Joyvision" Live on Bandcamp
Bandcamp DIV JOYVISION the album I recorded with michael dent and which youse guys have remixed to a tee is now available at Bandcamp. If you haven't already sampled it, Bandcamp is a supafine site for we artists. Anyhow, while I wait for the second volume of Div Joyvision remixes to hit iTunes, this re-promotion of our work could use some re-promotion. Perhaps consider simpy boosting it on your own sites and so forth? And in the meantime I am gonna tackle the 10 Year thang.

Where did I go?
I haven't been as active as before here for some time. Yet, the work and fellowship that has come outa my ongoing involvement here is a big deal to me and in part the bedrock of what I am always creating.
Lately I have been nesting at The Great Prize album @ Bandcamp . Bandcamp I recommend bigtime for simplicity and efficacy. Some of the trax on this album are in collaboration with Dave Fuglewicz.
I've put the loops I made for youse guys at Internet Archive, too, by the way.
Not sure what I'll be doing here now. I want to work from scratch again but my modus operandi has changed a great deal since I first appeared on these pages as "Datawhore". Whatever happens, Tapegerm is always very close to my robot heart.

Remix Archive For Tapegerm Experiment Hogs
It's backwards but it might just work. Dave Fuglewicz had done a fantastic remix of a track by my new "band", The Carbon Manual. So I have archived another track of ours, "Ice Sleep", so that any of you can add your own and other Tapegerm loops to create a unique TG remix of this track (out soon on a Red Star Digital Music EP).
The band mix resides at http://thecarbonmanual.bandcamp.com/track/ice-sleep if you wanna hear it.
I invite my colleagues here to have big fun bending and shaping this spoken weird ambient Krautrock offering.

BTW Friends: "Null MC" is my new name. "Datawhore" has served me well for over 10 years but it's a new century, and modern times call for a new name. So I will be retiring da Ho and bringing it with "Null MC", your reliable Zen loop master. -->please comment (1)

Life is good
Life can be good – not that I would know personally, dwelling as I do in an enduring, self-perpetuating nightmare (and, in any case, not entirely a “person”) – and as evidence witness the factoid that I, humble emissary of the world Loopera (that’s “loop opera”, in case you aren’t too good with word mash-upping!) hereupon sports count ‘em six trax in the Twenty top songs on this weird site. Between exploiting, nagging, bullying and comprehensively burying thou guys in loops, concepts and caustic emotional abstraction it seems I’ve become a BMOC!
But, spuriously, I’d like to accept my rejection speech with a big thank you to Zebra Mann, whose dedicated production of parts of my “Worldless” text are edifying to unfold. I was prone ten to fifteen years back to write thousands of words in this vein; only recently and after a long break I ventured out of curiosity to again attempt this variety of intuitive scribing. Having heard Mann’s championing of my fave self-generated sample, I made my usual slime ball approach and wheedled some hard work out of the poor schlep. May the Chapters be many!
What else I am doing? As usual, flogging Fuglewicz to produce yet more goods. Sniffing around for other collaborations. Biding my time… -->please comment (3)

New "Convoice" Voices Pack
These "Convoice" files have been on backup CD's of mine a long time. Some date back over ten years to cutup text experiments I was deep into around the time the Millennium Bug was supposed to crawl across us. Three of them came a bit later; one, "Ice Sleep" has become the basis of new work of my own with my new band project The Carbon Manual . I look forward to hearing what you do.

More from the '****
The Mental Anguish opus has buzzed me considerably. The work put into these pieces - all the collaborations and remixes hereabouts - is marvelous. Just so you know I am not slacking - as if! - plans now revolve around the eventual release of "Recollage 1: Loose Change" - that collects and recent original material for another iTunes blow-out. In addition I will release an EP of collaborations with TG stalwart Dave Fuglewicz, whose reinventions of my work are stunning. This iTunes release-to-be, to be entitled "Sleep on the Edge EP" after one of its tracks, should, knowing the iTunes queue, see digital daylight in 2025. Oh and I will soon be using my "real" name here, Jeremy Gluck. I have been "Datawhore" for over ten years now. Time to split the street and make an honest living...

"Surrendered to My Function" Free Album Download
"surrendered to my function", from 2000, is an exploration of WORDS, of what lies beyond the end of what can be done with words... an unambient soundscape rooted in the cutup method of Gysin and Burroughs. At the beginning of 1999 Jeremy Gluck received an e-mail from Binda23. Having established a mutual obsession with cut ups and experimental sound, they commenced an intensive collaboration via e-mail, exchanging files and holding regular creative meetings courtesy of AOL Instant Messenger. using output from a conversation with Fred, a desktop Artificial Intelligence program, Random Verse Lab, and online cutup machines, STMF invites you to surrender to your function of Unlanguage and its uses...

As of date the "When I Die" remixes album, including several by Tapegerm collaborators, is available on iTunes. Under the artist name Jeremy Gluck and michael dent, this album is a superb picture of the talents of the artists here and to whom I am endlessly grateful for their support and collaboration. When profits break ten dollars I'll send you all a share! Spread the word, promote the album and your role in it, we can all benefit from its release. Any comments or queries, let me know :-)

Datawhere?
None of you have been asking where Datawhore has been these past weeks since the triumphant end to the first great cycle of michael dent collaborations. You'll have noticed my loopy loops being featured in several monstrous mixes, the latest of which, Dave Fuglewicz's Sleep on the Edge is based around a short poem of mine and which exemplifies the kind of very cool collaboration I had hoped would encompass a new spoken word concept.
Meanwhile, in other lives I am working overtime on two new projects. The Carbon Manual, based in Bristol, is another spoken word naked out to lunch exercise; and there is a major collaboration on recording and remixing a track by Suicide's Martin Rev that will feature producer luminaries such as Marty Thau, Dub Gabriel and Brendon Moeller.
When exactly a solely Datawhore track appears again remains to be seen and heard. Until then, Datawhore will never be Databore, and thanks bigtime to all my friends and colleagues here for their juice.
"Looking forward to hearing your "other" work. You've added a entirely new flavor to the germinated audio oasis we like to call "home". You've created a Datalore. :-)"-- David Fuglewicz (on 06/22/09 05:39:03)
Hat Trick in the Mainline
"Gratitude: The great attitude!" I read once in some hoary positive thinking tome and to a trainee misanthrope like acid on flesh 'twas. But even I - whatever that means - has to express abundant gratefulness for the heady hat trick I see before me on the Top 20 plays. Dave and I have conspired to enchant you tough customers and the payoff is sweeter than popcorn (salted). Thanks, guys! Pretty soon I'll be posting a second set of loops, crazier, crisper, less toneless, more tuneless. It's gonna be big. -->please comment (2)
"Awesome! I look forward to new loops that can help me to expand my humble mixes to a point beyond the infinite horizon. Keep those incredible loops coming, Mr. D ****! "-- Zebra Mann (on 05/15/09 22:35:06)
"I couldn't have done it without the tasty, fortified seven different ways, loops of the inscrutable Data Ho'. I'm looking forward to the next round of loops to mutate and extract my vision of audio nirvana."-- David Fuglewicz (on 05/11/09 18:33:47)
"The Point Is" Remix Archive
"The Point Is" marks the end of a long and productive cycle of work with Canadian poet michael dent. There may be further collaborations but for now this epic ambient piece is the bookend to much toil and fun. Here is the download remix archive, a mighty 400 megs plus of loops and samples that you can use to make whatever you like.
Eric Debris' remix of the ever-popular "When I Die" features this week, a heavy jungle mix that pushes hard on the spare parts that make up the archive. Here is some background Mr. Debris, a substantial cult artist:
Wikipedia says "They were heavily influenced by The Clash and The Sex Pistols on one hand, and on the other by an electro approach related to "Metal Machine Music" by Lou Reed. They relied on heavily distorted guitars and replaced the traditional rock rhythm section of bass guitar/drums with a synthesizer and drum machine, a then-unique approach that foreshadowed the experimental possibilities that were explored by later post-punk bands such as Big Black. They were also known for their radical image (the color scheme of albums always being a stark black, white and red), and subversive lyrics sung in French.
"They were met with much enthusiasm in England, particularly by John Peel and the Rough Trade label. (Métal Urbain's single "Paris Maquis" was Rough Trade's first release.) They had an enthusiastic but small audience in France, receiving little exposure. The punk rock scene was not as popular in France as it was in England, and they did not interest the French media as English bands like the Sex Pistols did. As a result, the band broke up by 1979, though members scattered to form such groups as Metal Boys, Doctor Mix and the Remix, and Desperados, as well as joining Ashpalt Jungle.
"Métal Urbain had focused their efforts on singles, and only produced one album, Les hommes morts sont dangereux, while active. However, since their breakup, several compilation records were released, gathering their singles with additional material such as BBC sessions and live recordings.
"Their electro approach was very innovative for its time, and the group are a reference point for such groups as The Jesus and Mary Chain, Bérurier Noir, and the producer Steve Albini. They have recently recorded a new album, produced by Jello Biafra."
A very fast turnaround on this archive but I am enthused by the track and curious to see how other artists here handle it. A few of Dave's loops and two spoken word files is all you get...but not all you can get out of it.

"Recollage": Datawhore's Advance Plans for the Past
With the posting of Bad Seed Mick Harvey's remix of "When I Die" the last great phase of the Datawhore project is closing. All that remains now is a bookend epic, "The Point Is", currently under construction subject to breaks for mental rest. When that is finally completed there will be a pause and then the commencement of a whole new, even more intensive phase of collaborative creation.
The new phase will be marked by the release of the first of what will be two and possibly even more volumes of iTunes remix albums collected under the title "Recollage" and heavily featuring Tapegerm artists.
At the same time there will be the appearance of the first Datawhore loop pack, "Convoid", featuring dissonant sounds and, also, spoken word fragments taken from my first novel, "Necrotrivia vs Skull", which has lately been digitised and which I hope will provide interest in creating a kind of "oddio" book output.
"ah yea.. I stumbled over that site for a couple days ago.. gonna take a closer look on it later.."-- Decaying Machine (on 02/14/09 11:00:39)
MICK HARVEY Mix of "When I Die" Hits Tapegerm - Celebrities, Even!
In what must rank as a coup in the annals of Tapegerm history and thanx entirely to the murky and exciting music past of micheal dent, I am thrilled to present a unique and very exciting collaboration between Datawhore, michael dent, and Mick Harvey from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Harvey's short, lazy mix is elegant and beautiful. Enjoy!

The Alta Vista Audio Search Is Dead!
A brief note to mark the passing of the Alta Vista audio search tab, suddenly absent, much-missed and the source for years of marginally legal samples of all kinds upon which Datawhore built a little empire. Other audio searches will come and go but...looks like it's time to really get legit'. -->please comment (1)
"really dont know what that is..is it ilke a search engine for samples?"-- Decaying Machine (on 02/06/09 05:30:18)
Loop Me Baby, One More Time One More Time One More Time
Do any of you young whippersnappers out there wanna help an old Datawhore and make a Datawhore Tapegerm Loop Pack together? I have the sounds - plenty of those - I just need them all looped scientifically. If you're up for a little hobbyist 'whoring let me know.
And while I have your retention, thanks for the remixes that have now put three and/or four of same in the Top 20. I am now looking at a double i-Tunes effort! Stay entwined.

RECESSION BITES: DATAWHORE MADE REDUNDANT ;-)
Mental Anguish make our day once more with a monster 'mix. I've put myself out of a job! Datawhore retires...actually I'm gonna archive the rest of the "Div Joyvision" stuff first and inflict it on all you campers! This remix mania couldn't have come at a better time. I was getting to burn-out again. This is huge lo-maintenance fun.
And next? You guessed it! A Datawhore Random Loop Challenge! Yeah, you heard me: a thingamajig from every D-**** Tapegerm dent-inflected track for you to mangle freely. Expect said monstrosity any day now! And thanks again. A group drug?
"Hurting Me (Self-Harm)": Datawhore Releases Re-MIX Archive!
"Hurting Me (Self-Harm)" has proven my most popular piece on Tapegerm. I've included some previously unused samples in the archive. I am curious to see now what Tapegerm remixers make of this track, which has had nearly1500 plays here.
DOWNLOAD: http://depositfiles.com/files/3kzelnyjs
This track emerged out of research into self-harm. I used the Free Loop Sample Pack loops from Hebephrenic, seeking to create a mournful dark ambient feel, which their superb sounds made possible. Research on, interest in and experience of self-harm led to the recording of this piece evoking the world of self-harmers, some of whom have lauded it.
It's alive! Mental Anguish's awesome remix of "When I Die" is in the weekly top 5 and there are now enough remixes to make for one fine iTunes release. In the near future there will be new archives and new collaborations, a bookend Datawhore-dent track to mark the end of the first phase of that enterprise and the beginning with Lenore Herb of a new one. Thanks to all of you and especially to some of you.

REMIX A DATAWHORE TRACK, LIVE THE DREAM!
Hello All
I've taken the Datawhore/dent/Tapegerm track WHEN I DIE and zipped it ready for remix and invite all of you to download and undo it! There's some choice T-germ OMNITECHNOMATRIX loops in there plus the other essential fixings. Have fun! The best mixes will be part of a forthcoming iTunes album!
Datawhore's New Frontiers: Sound, Vision, Dysfunction!
After a period of calm dysfunction Datawhore and his band of merry ultramen is back with new material, a bunch of videos, mixes aplenty and who knows what all!?! "Give us more remixes," you cried (alright, not literally) and so I and we have with a new and exciting mix by Vancouver artist, activist and creative Lenore Herb: check out the "Caligari Mix" now"!
Also just posted is the video for "Olivier" from the "Div Joyvision" iTunes album. This is a mad video, essentially being no more than a corrupt *.avi file. But look at it go!
Look forward to more remixes, and more videos, too. We've only just begun.
"Div Joyvision" by Datawhore and michael dent & other drugs
Datawhore is a sound poet based in the UK and creating solo or collaborating with a number of other artists. Datawhore's sounds cover a wide spectrum, from the outrightly ironic and satirical to the very serious and intense. Recently Datawhore released five albums on iTunes - the first four displayed in the accompanying image - the most recent being "Div Joyvision" comprising a collaboration with michael dent. An intro follows:
Roll for You
The second of my collaborations with Michael. I didn't know until I had completed it what it was about precisely, but the abstraction of working oblivious to the context of the words paradoxically facilitated a soundscape for them. Although I find Michael's best work piercing, I also enjoy working to a sense of "unlanguage", or "words as things", and to this end use a great deal of repetition and monotony (i.e. "on and on and on") to make the words mean nothing.
Ashtray
My first attempt at intuiting Michael's meaning proved successful, from a baby boomer Patsy Cline clip sure to sync with our mutual timeline, to some dissonant loops that create a characteristically muggy, foggy Datawhore undertow.
When I Die
The anger, plain-talking and stoicism in Michael's short text points up the pluses of his work. He can be verbose, but it's these laconic pieces or fragments thereof that make him interesting to me. Human, damaged and defiant, his attitude can grate but there is a core of almost perverse compassion that even if only inferred yet proves attractive.
Here is a video created by Welsh artist Scott Gently for Mann's lastest masterwork.
