-- Mae-san seemed to be discouraging me from enjoying what I assumed would be a sunny day... it wasn't that great, I basically nodded-off on the breakwater, lost my deluxe Thai fishing lure and had my float smashed-somehow.... no watercolours... up too early I guess... bought some Southern Star (in the can and the sky), peanuts, and paper(!) Orion, often referred to as The Hunter, is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous, and most recognizable constellations in the night sky. Its name refers to Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology... eskimo.com is down again ;( hope the stars register on last night's pinhole... the assistant principal introduced himself and welcomed me to theis 'special day' with a western handshake (in hideous-America you'd be instantly castigated as a child molester) a most perfect day: not a cloud in the sky: recorded the childrens' musical performance (in the thumping floorboard gym) from the outside along with birdsong and passing traffic, while sitting in the precious sunlight: [heard Edelweiss sung on Japanese radio last night and now played on childrens' recorders: Edelweiss, Edelweiss Every morning you greet me Small and white clean and bright You look happy to meet me Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever Edelweiss, Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever.] breeze shifted during the second disk and I'm having to edit-out some noise: may merge with echoed breakwater gurgle recordings, which is where I spent the rest of the day sunbathing, fishing, and painting: the line on the reel has gotten all snarled, perhaps I'll straighten it out today but I really hate untangling things... (there are massive jumbled masses of cables and cords in my studio/room at home)... the goat has been crying all morning, she's probably tangled-up as well... [no, it's the neighbour's goat but she's glad to see me-- many mosquitos clustered on her leg]; down to the port and a fair attempt at fishing (disassembled/untangled my reel: I'm thinking that they're pre-assembled in this miserable state)... made some decent casts and then one tangled-mess which I converted into a near-shore dangled (US-Vienna sausage) offering... a Japanese angler passed-by and said something, which could only be some variant of 'any luck?' so I shook my head 'no'... was worried that I might lose my furry windscreens as I dangled the microphone over the breakwater so I tried recording without them: impossible; later I had the bright idea of wrapping my small black elastic hair bands around them to better secure the slip-on furries... assembling the sections now but may need a little more water-sound (too bad you can't duplicate sections somehow) no, I recorded the goats out back instead: all becoming quite surreal with chirping birds, little children singing, undercurrents...: today is supposed to be somewhat sunny I think... volcano ash is still big news on TV... which city has a ferris wheel (with a digital clock in the center!) ? Okinawa?...
Island 6.0 is now available online! ==================================== http://bbrace.net/islands/island6/island6.html http://bradbrace.net/islands/island6/island6.html Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media pdf-ebooks/field-recordings -- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters. An intensive examination of small islands and their paradigmatic solutions to globalism. Your (Art)world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe some cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn't change the bad faith of it and as years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole life being an act of bad faith, where everything is self-interest and nothing more, where every human interaction is driven by a silent, even subconscious calculation of some ulterior motive, to the point that a sea of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there's no small island left from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith, because even that effort becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but self-interested, even altruism is nothing but solipsistic, even your professed agonizing right here right now is nothing but a gesture, made to the conscience in order to assure it that it exists. http://bradbrace.net/id.html http://bbrace.net/id.html Island 1.0 is Ambergris Caye, Belize Island 2.0 is Koh Si Chang, Thailand Island 3.0 is Lamu, Kenya Island 4.0 is Narikel Jingira, Bangladesh Island 5.0 is Isla Mais, Nicaragua Island 6.0 are The Grenadines, West Indies Global Islands Project: Island 1.0 -> http://bbrace.net/islands/island1/island1.html or http://bradbrace.net/islands/island1/island1.html -- over 800 images and hour-long audiotrack -- 69mb -- (acrobat 6) Island 2.0 -> http://bbrace.net/islands/island2/island2.html or http://bradbrace.net/islands/island2/island2.html -- over 535 images and hour-long audiotrack -- 78mb -- (acrobat 6) -- http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_1.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_2.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_3.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_4.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_5.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_6.0 Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media pdf-books -- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters...

That would be co-optation, revolution only in the sense of a circulation of elites rather than the extirpation of the very impulses of elitism.
