Guerino Mazzola (Spring 2021): Music 5950 Topics in Music: Free Jazz—from Structure to Gesture Joseph Jarman (liner notes of album „naked“): Magnificant wonderman! The manifestation flowing into, through, beyond Earth, heaven. Spiral, gyroscoped energy, where pure sound becomes magnetized particles of gleaming tweeters, crystal unicorns, each a winged lexicographer directing nebular cascades in perpetual harmony. Maat, The Protectoress of Truth, universal divine wisdom; Thoth, holder, giver of Wisdom. Magnificent wonderment creation of the universe and within All things the Buddha nature natural as urban order where fleet heroes dance the radius of the Great Sphinx, the Great Buddha, the Great Obelisk, the Great Light of penetration ever seeking within. Unclothed visionaries bring the talisman, the total final charm of resurrection, causing vital forces, lunar orbits where totems lead to brilliant rhythms, unimpeded motion, delighted unto themselves. And yet, entophytics hold liaison with darkness. Hollowed sentiments voided in union seek the freeless maze of the labyrinth. No charm giver, save one, dare wander there. Passing semaphore heliograms, the architects, fade to intrusion, hacked needles, broken memories, their blood polluted unto madness, no neophytes in their despair, the hunger never ending. For them, the lumination, the Great Forms of crane, bear, Orion are needless chatter through silver lusting and hallucinations of discovery. Their ways to creation, constant fumbling of the naked karma ever returning. Not even tears from the secret womb shall heal, save the charm giver, eyes opened only to blink away the moment of the shout. Still they are offered ease beneath a crying stone, while galactic orbits gyrate inside the fleshy mucus of the brain, cracked from holding the mountain just above amazonien shrunken skulls. Still they are offered ease, breath. The wonderment-magnificent Sound. Amazement and awe transform the relics of rituals, powers of the unknown worlds, to sand falling from an oopen sky into the boiling water, where courage erases all trace of substance. The galaxy within merge, fold centripetaly to love kindly, gently eased, complete. music ethnologists required! African &. . . mythologies. . .
