burn a fire

burn a fire to old rotting things.
burn a fire to feel the warmth and glow.
burn a fire to survive the night.
burn a fire to my entire life.

Experimenting with texture and warmth by putting music onto reel-to-reel tape …
The machine was old and the reels I was taping over were Christian sermons from the early 80’s. Sometimes the sermons would mix with my music, in reverse.
My last Mariassunta album took months to record. In a windowless room, alone with a narcissist.
We had a ritual in which my music was slowly sanitized and my sense of reality distorted.
I recorded my next album on the living room floor, the vocals in the bedroom.
It took a couple hours. I’ll keep the imperfections because I love them.
Mar track, work in progress.
“DONE WITH THE FAKES”
This footage is from a livestream of “a Prairie Rattlesnake rookery (MegaDen) at an undisclosed location in Colorado. At this rookery, hundreds of snakes overwinter, shed their skins, and bask in the sun. Dozens of pregnant snakes spend the summer here preparing to give birth and care for their babies.” In this edited recording, a snake sheds her skin while a companion assists.
