It’s a Hoot
Introduction
My twenty-fifth podcast is a poem.
(It's much less repetitive than the last one.)
Main Content
Hello
Good evening
and welcome
I’m Franklyn Monk
I hold deep-seated and derisive political ideologies
It’s true!
I’m an ally
But I see no sense in preaching to the choir
I see no sense in preaching to the choir
So I’m gonna talk on somethin’
Mundane
Or prosaic
Like sunsets
The moon
An owl
Oh, the Moon isn’t her real name
Her real name to too beautiful
Too beautiful too beautiful
Her real name would burn your ears
Or my tongue
Turn you into a zombie
Albeit a good one
That doesn’t eat people
So it continually eats itself
Sunrise to sunset
Sunset to sunset
There’s an owl there
Somewhere
Oh, I have a first conscience memory of an owl
But it’s too painful to revisit
So it’s left as an exercise
For the audience
What is the poet’s owl?
A Form of Madness
I don’t know if this represents a form of madness.
I don’t know if this represents a form of madness or not.
Recording Eight
Here’s a new track. I rushed through it last night. I’m experimenting with the generative audio equivalent of the literary cut-up technique. Did it by hand though, as I’m not as capable as I want to be with coding music. I developed the logic but couldn’t figure out where to begin with coding it, I gonna look into creating Audio Unit plugins, that’s probably what I need.
In the meantime enjoy Recording Eight, it features 74 seconds of audio from a 21 minute recording I made this summer, probably while drunk. I don’t know why I choose the segments I did, I sped through and choose what sounded cool.
