Mikado Koko’s art is that of engagement, storms in a desert, avalanches of reason, dislocation.

Mikado Koko's 2023 avant-garde cutups of that album takes it to another plain - melody, madness, beauty and the beast. Available now as a double 12” release on Caliban Sounds

David Friend & Jerome Begin: Post- review – weirdly brutal American minimalism Friend’s precise piano solos are amplified by Begin’s intense harmonics, and are all the better for their violent overtones
Is war the template of humanity? Within this schism, we are torn apart by ideologies, ruined by bigotry, buried as numbers. ‘Lest we forget’, but what is there to remember? War is divided peace, yet peace will not be divided. In silence there is great healing.
Words, words, and sort of words. Yes, no, maybe. The maze of imagination.

And so the madness grows, playground to battlefield, bedside to grave, the screaming shells of Mammon testing the very fibre of love. Then rise, rise in silence that those who fall might for one moment be told of a peace that cannot be fought for.
We are life looking for itself. However, the materialist narrative ensures failure. Not you, but it; the dawn will not be waited upon.
A flight of seagulls, white as void ‘gainst the darkness of the incoming storm. The crows seek refuge in groaning oaks. The template is set.
Great profundity is to be found within irrelevance. Boom.
We are the fire, consumed and consuming. We are the fire, consuming and consumed.

Time and space have dissolved. We are shadows no more. Each moment is a moment of extreme creation beyond the given. A total release (if we could but see it). Go, go now before the hounds are released.
Seeking external confirmation, or even explanation, is the root cause of perturbation. Answers? There are none. The cat walks the rooftop.
Corpus Mei, my body. We are not metaphor, we are flesh and blood. Fight back.

We are not metaphor, we are flesh and blood. Fight back.
Love is way beyond the temporal, and far greater than the sum total. It is its own freedom and will neither be contained nor possessed. Dance, then, dance.
There is nothing in everything and everything in nothing. Our positioning within this is irrelevant. Courage, mes amis, courage.
Words are but a fiction to cover the facts. Beyond them we are eternally connected.
The ego has no substance and no form yet is stuffed full of second-hand ideas and pilfered nonsense, notably that of the self it imagines itself to be. So just who or what is going anywhere? There is no way, no destination. I am yet I know not.
Penny Rimbaud and Martin 'Youth' Glover 'Corpus Mei' - the daily sacrifice on innocence which is the bind and the gag.

We are born free, but then at once bound to condition and the idiocy of identity, name, number, gender, race, class, religion, nationality, law and order; a mere metaphor for what, metaphorically, we are not. Break out. Resignation is no answer.

There is great power in wisdom, but little wisdom in power.
URGENT. Penny Rimbaud is seeking contact with Paulin who is part of a team in France who are publishing a translation of 'The Last of the Hippies'. Penny has lost any contact details for Paulin and is unable to send her the finished introduction that he has written for the book. If you know Paulin, then PLEASE ask her to get in touch with Penny ASAP. THANKYOU.
'Corpus Mei', a redefinition. The material world is bound to self-destroy, but moved by a strange silence which knows love and beauty beyond platitude, we are the players no more; we the mountain, we the sea. In the beginning was the void, the we complete.

Hope is a half-hearted substitution for engagement. In short, get with it or leave it out.
We demean ourselves with the self-imposed slavery of conformity; the drudge of materialism. Beauty is the brushstroke, the pitch, the song of the linnet moments before consideration; the exquisite platform of being. Then why dive into stagnant pools of falsity and desire?
Health warning - social conformity can cause severe mental deformity. The greatest freedom is freedom from the ideas and impositions of self.
