To accompany the October Gallery exhibition ‘William Burroughs: All out of time and into space’ and relating to Shezad Dawood’s ‘New Dream Machine Project’ for Parasolstice – Winter Light 2012, ON BEAT will focus on Beat Culture’s history and influence more broadly. It will include talks by contemporaries of William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, creator of the original Dream Machine in 1959, as well as explications of poetics and contemporary work influenced by the era.

 Peter Jaeger will give a talk/reading entitled “A Philip Whalen Mala” on Whalen, Snyder, Ginsberg and their understanding of Buddhism as it pertains to compositional method.

Marcus Slease will read new work inspired by Burroughs’ The Soft Machine.

This event is a collaboration between Parasol unit, October Gallery and Intercapillary Space.

Songs for One Occasion contains nine songs, variously beautiful and deformed, with a microscopic three-part novel embedded as intro, median, and outro, all of it written 2011 to 12, and Even You might buy one today at any one of the three fairly world-shattering prices that will imminently follow the colon with which you are about to be presented regardless of however long said action may theoretically be deferred ad infinitum usw, as if hate were cycling to the middle of nowhere where love cuts wit to size and back, turning itself endlessly on and on and on in Mélos Kateglytißménon that doesn’t mean anything ahorita:
