"Is it still too easy?": yes.

Too easy like this...

You’ve piqued my curiosity.. And, by the way, you’ve also made me want to knock on the door of good old Aphex, whom I haven’t visited in too long..

Artaud was a heretic, a genius, a visionary.
One could say, slightly exaggerating, that the entire practice of avant-garde theater in the 20th century descends from "The Theater and Its Double" (I’m not saying this, history is). With this text, Artaud not only reconnected theater to its ritual, subliminal, social roots, but also underscored the "energetic" aspects with very practical notions: the elimination of the dictatorship of the text, the dramatic stature (a pioneer among pioneers, except for Strindberg) that for him had stage lights, costumes, set design, objects.
"The Theater and Its Double" is a book I would recommend to everyone (even to those who don’t give a damn about theater).
Artaud was also a raging madman (I’m not saying this, his history does). In the last years of his life, he wrote "poems," the so-called glossolalias: a mishmash of onomatopoeic words and utter nonsense that, according to Artaud, could, if recited aloud, open doors to other worlds.
Mental illness had burned him: I wouldn’t recommend these glossolalias to anyone (even those interested in poetry).
Was Artaud an artist with pure talent? Hell yes! Was he also a disjointed mentally ill person? Hell yes!
The important thing is to discern. What would I achieve if, when speaking to someone who doesn’t know Artaud, I started with the most alienated aspects of his mind?
Mac, I admire your intelligence and sensitivity (and you know it), but really: if to introduce this scientist you start with what seem to me his glossolalias (I’m sure Artaud was at least well-intentioned) and back it all up by saying that a heretic takes things from another world (in scientific practice then!) to "justify" his "analyses"...
I can't deny my... Reluctance.

What a gem!

Perhaps I wouldn't have included the notes either, but a gem it is and a gem it will remain...

Very nice piece, by disarticulated fools with a final pandemonium..
And, as usual, a page that captures the idea..

Super..

I think that for certain records you need the right reviewer…
… I have a feeling that the guy in question would approve of the Luludiesque frizzoserìe for his work…
(the album title is gorgeous!)

But hasn't anyone told you that you are COMPLETELY crazy? Anyway, the "concept about a gorilla's thoughts on love" must be something else...

Obmana is great even though I've kind of lost track of it.. I really miss this album..
