Pseudo-Gamelan Anarchy Randomness

Originally this was supposed to be a tidy and sensible demonstration of a Feedback Sequencer versus the 'Shitar' (version 0.1) and an electric springbox, playing a general psychogenic fugue for your enjoyment. Unfortunately, the sound quality was too poor (one of those things that sounds better when it's really loud), and the resultant interestingness quotient didn't correlate to the sum of its parts! So, images of miscellaneous stuff were interspliced into the proceedings to make things more interesting.
The 'Shitar' instrument was built inside a floor sweeper thingy found round the back of McDonalds.

EDIT: OK, the images aren't truly random. Basically it is about 'handling' oneself in society. Timmy Mallett appears at 15secs (with friend) who is a totemic sublimation of savagely animalistic urges: whacking people indiscriminately with mallets and sticking one's tongue out. He mediates the distillation of violence into entertainment. John "two jabs" Prescott crops up at 1:24 (with toy) to remind us that lapses in dignified conduct afflict even those paid to act diplomatically. At 46secs we see cannibal Peter Bryan who ate a man in London (edibly named Brian Cherry). Pat Butcher (off Eastenders) appears at 2:20 (hence the word "Butcher"). The cook Fanny Craddock also appears. The policeman with duck at 1:00 plays with the illegality of animalistic behaviour, also its appropriation into policing. Luvox (32secs) antidepressant was prescribed to former US citizen Eric Harris who partook in a massacre at school because he totally misunderstood the dynamics of Doom 2 (sublimation mistaken for instructional? I dunno). Allocating oneself private areas to creatively vent 'disconduct', such as in writing, noise-making, drawing, etc., can be helpful. But unfortunately a sort of sublimatory feedback occurs via the news when real atrocities become fables (Charles Manson, Dennis Nilsen, et al). Additionally, medication can invalidate reality in a similar way. The aforementioned people occupy the grotto of my thoughts no thanks to media (especially Craddock). Therefore: behold the exorcism via dismal Shitar plonking. O, just send me to brighter firmament henceforth.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but hopefully someone will.

I like the lady that appears at 2:08, I paused the video at that point and masturbated to her picture.

She is so hot I saved a screenshot and made a t-shirt with her picture on it. Now I put on the t-shirt, look in a mirror and masturbate. We exist as one.

Sir, I salute your honesty.

[improvisations]

I saw cleavage in the tag! What a disappointment!

[ashfordaisyak]

It is obligatory in the Science & Technology category of Youtube to include tags such as 'boobs' and 'ass', this ensures that a wider audience is reached. Scientists know this. 'Cleavage' is more upmarket. My apologies for the deception!

diarrhea came out of my ears and nose

[joesfph]

awesommmmmmme

tell us more about the instruments

[skincage]

I salute you for also having built an instrument of this name. I built a "shitar" myself some time ago with a plank, a bread pan, and guitar strings. I couldn't play it worth a damn but my friend was a virtuoso of the beast. I gave it to him, his parents threw it away. Sad stuff.

For the record, I prefer yours!

[dolofonos]

It's things like this that turn what would be considered otherwise as murder into merely extermination.

[xwsftassell]

Corkin'!

[abyssalservant]

yeah, except it would be "audio-visual art," since English isn't too keen on composite words . . .

[Carpet32]

Who's that girl you're in bed with?

[GnosticVelvet]

This is great. I love the more Tambura drone at the

end and some of the drawings look like Peter Blasser's art on his site. Would like to know more about this

DIY instrument.

[neopundis]

Strålande! I liked it! Makes you think about what music is. This is audivisualart. Is that a word i English?

[brandonut]
