an absolute precariousness (in the mirror of practice)

‘for individuality, considered as an absolute, amounts in practice for the masses to an absolute precariousness or ‘contingency’ of conditions of existence, just as ownership (of oneself, of objects) amounts to a generalised dispossession.’ - etienne balibar, the philosophy of marx., p. 37-8.

the equinox 2018 has just taken place (16:15 on tuesday, 20th march). it is also the anniversary of the visitation of alice coltrane by the spirit of igor stravinsky.

"stravinsky has once again wonderfully inspired me. the infinity sound of the eternity permeates his music. I am truly grateful to stravinsky for his offerings, and for the sharing of his gifts with us: and for the channel through which he communicates to me from the other world."  - alice coltrane. her version of  spring rounds can be heard on the eternity album.

from the equinox onwards  horsemouth will no longer be in the long dark tunnel, he will have emerged into the light. there will be easter, there will be british summer time, there will be may eve, there will be the summer solstice. sometime between may eve and the solstice (roughly equidistant) - horsemouth will be finished work for the year.

phew this will be a lucky escape (though there is of course ‘next year’ looming over the horizon towards the end of september - but it is far enough away that it doesn’t have to be thought about (yet)).

thereafter horsemouth will devote himself to playing music and reading books and going on long pointless walks. yay.

denise has recorded a vocal for sliabh (said sleeve if horsemouth is reliably advised) - himself and howard have it (by the wonders of email) and should be able to add it to the track. just in time.
