The Golden Suicides
When Theresa Duncan, 40, took her own life on July 10, followed a week later by her boyfriend, Jeremy Blake, 35, their friends were stunned and the press was fascinated: what had destroyed this glamorous couple, stars of New York’s multi-media art world, still madly in love after 12 years?

Zabriskie Point
Fourteen Points to Zabriskie Point.
Zabriskie Point, produced and directed by Michelangelo Antonioni (MGM).
This review has much in it about what’s wrong with Zabriskie Point. Do not be misled. It is a film of exceptional importance. It is seriously flawed, true. But even the flaws themselves have a grandeur about them.
Because Antonioni failed to come to grips with the young people he portrays —in the sense that he is dealing with American young people—Zabriskie Point is an intellectually dishonest work. But—don’t miss it.

MARCHING TO THE TUNE OF THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND
It took awhile before I clicked with psychedelic folk music, but it all started when I decided to buy an album by t he Incredible String Band. This was partly prompted by Boards of Canada mentioning ISB in various interviews. I was curious how an acid-folk band could have an impact on the mysterious synth-laden tunes of Boards of Canada. I bought The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter (Hannibal), originally released in 1968, and it took some getting into. After all, I was listening to a lot of electronic music at the time, which seemed polar opposite to the jangle-riddled acoustic clusters of the Incredible String Band. But after three or four listens, I was hooked, and I also realized there was some kind of link to be made with electronic music.
The Incredible String Band’s music is so horizontal. Each track travels in a free and meandering way, not adhering to a metronome or a beat. It doesn’t appear to be conveniently divided into sections such as verse/chorus/verse, and there is an amazing story-like structure to the group’s early work that sounds like some drug-induced, observant comment on life and fantasy, One minute you’re sitting on a garden wall saying “hallo” to the baker; the next minute you’re skating on happy valley pond surrounded by various ministers or playing cards in a tent with soldiers. These sections feel natural, never spliced together or contrived.
It is quite clear after a few listens that rather than this “piano roll” method of composing – often the way with digitally recorded music – the Incredible String Band’s arrangements were in the band members’ heads. ISB seems to know its songs like one would know his or her garden or favorite spot in the woods. ISB knows where the oak, willow and pine live, but these musical elements seem to have a mind of their own, meaning that each performance is more like a snapshot of the band members’ souls than a recital of a creation they once made.
How did this music affect me? I was listening to a lot of electronic music, studying arts in London and also played guitar. I was already training my ears to the fine resolution of intricate electronic music and had a fair bit of knowledge in sound and technology. The Bibio project had a pulse and was already sounding a little folky in parts. I had been sampling and arranging my own guitar playing for a few years, but listening to ISB made me want to bring a new element to my music, a meandering, twisty quality. I think the bridge between glitchy electronica and the jangly folk stuff was reinforced by listening to My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless. The fact that ISB was “captured” on magnetic tape also factored into my love for the group’s sound. The acoustic sounds and the analog equipment seem to walk hand in hand.
The first bunch of Bibio tracks influenced by ISB were “Bewley in White,” “Lakeside,” and “Cluster at Cwm Einion” off my debut, fi (Mush). “Cluster” was more of an attempt at the meandering, tangled, wooden, confused approach that was more related to ISB’s Beautiful Daughter. That album contained these little outlandish acoustic collages that seem inspired by observing the wonderful intricacies in nature. I don’t know if psilocybin or LSD helped during these observations. Either way, they’re beautiful and strange, and I’ll never be able to shake off the feeling I had when I first discovered them.

Night Stalker: Richard Ramirez, famous satanic serial killer – Crime Library on truTV.com.
The bride wore a calf-length, white wedding dress with long lace sleeves. The groom wore a starched set of prison blues, the pants a little too long, the shirt tails hanging out. She was glowing; he was nervous. The ceremony took place on October 3, 1996, in the large, gray-walled main visiting room of California’s San Quentin Prison. According to Jim Doyle writing in the San Francisco Chronicle, the bride, Doreen Lioy, age 41, was a freelance magazine editor with a bachelor’s degree in English and an I.Q. of 152. The groom, serial killer and rapist Richard Ramirez, was on Death Row, awaiting execution.


Seven years earlier in 1989, Ramirez had been convicted on 43 counts, including 13 murders, and the authorities have good reason to believe that he had committed several others. For over a year starting in the spring of 1985, the residents of Los Angeles County lived in fear of the anonymous “Night Stalker” as he was called, forcing many to alter their nighttime habits, install better locks on their doors and windows, and invest in electronic security systems. The newspapers dubbed him the Night Stalker because he always attacked at night like a vampire.

k-punk: Home is where the haunt is: The Shining‘s hauntology.

1. The sound of hauntology
Conjecture: hauntology has an intrinsically sonic dimension.
The pun – hauntology, ontology – works in spoken French, after all. In terms of sound, hauntology is a question of hearing what is not here, the recorded voice, the voice no longer the guarantor of presence (Ian P: ‘Where does the Singer’s voice GO, when it is erased from the dub track?’) Not phonocentrism but phonography, sound coming to occupy the dis-place of writing.
Nothing here but us recordings…
