If you don't get it, you have a lack of imagination. Pure and F-ing simple. This is nothing compared to Burroughs remarkable imagination and writing displayed in books like "Cities of the Red Night", "The Place of Dead Roads", etc..
Not surprisingly, transcribing the audio produces hilarious and occasionally creepy word salad. (It think that the words "Saying O.K. I don't think" appear with the blue attack at the end.)
"opium and other derivatives," any excuse to shoot up, Mr. Burroughs. I had no idea he was so into this stuff. I'd like to try my hand at that spinning machine. Looks like a bad version of a Dali movie. I say it rises to the level of art.
In a curious way Borroughs anticipates the gradual decay of identity and meaning in our media/technologically augmented culture.Like their BEAT contemporaries(Harry Smith,Norman Maclaren and Stan Brakage )WSB and Antony Balch alchemically channel,through the intuitive manipulation of BASE celluloid,a telling description of the world we all increasingly share.A world poised on the brink of an information BREAKDOWN. Posing the question,WHAT COMES NEXT!??
the best dreammachine uses a wheel angled to the direct sunlight, the rate of the wheel - which should be like a cartwheel - so the spokes behave as the opened fingers of your hand waved in front of your closed eyes as they face the sun, which is what the dreammachine is based upon - can be altered, and you lie back with closed eyes and watch the flicker kaelidoscope lift you upwards.
