We are just happy you weren't offended. The channel is simply a warehouse for videos that none of us really want our identities associated with. This video is part of a playlist entitled "Propaganda series" - and these particular videos use aleatoric operations to combine unrelated elements together. Most of these ideas affect people very deeply in recent years - especially the political ones. By using chance - the editor's intention is severely compromised and people will see only what they interpret. It's a weak attempt at a new type of symbolist movement - creating new relationships through juxtaposition and removing intention. Simply put: it all can be reduced to surreal and experimental music and video material mashed together . . . .The music is often original - outside the typical oeuvre of the individual artists. The channel and its contents get virtually no views other than the artists involved in the videos. We wonder how you found this . . . we took the time to thank you because you found something - we, at least believe, is outside any youtube algorithm . . . may peace be upon you NA

we recorded in same time

this is a tribute track to Zinovieff/ Birtwistle's Chronometer - a completely different piece. The EMS track is here: th-cam.com/video/hZ-WrpgA0-g/w-d-xo.html

No. I did the sound projection for the first 8-track public performance in St. John's Smith Square and this differs from the tape I got from Peter Zenovieffe, who was responsible for its technical production.

Apologies for tardiness in response. Your comment was 2 weeks old and I only just noticed it. Thank you for the clear and, I might add accurate appraisal of the work. Your comments are much more on target than feedback received from others. The work is a videopome opera in 48 parts (just added to description). Being an opera, the music figures heavily in the mix. The work dwells on tone both sonically and visually (in the realm of color) and your comment suggests you got this impact immediately. The costume of images is decidedly Roman Catholic but the concepts are catholic - they transcend any particular time, place or culture. For example - motherhood is not exclusive to any particular person but common to all in coming into existence. So, for example, "eastern" concepts are already embedded. The tone of the work is ontological. The mantra is SOMETIMES i feel . . . it suggests the arbitrariness of existence and the feeling of alienation - feeling outside of everything and intimate with no thing. The impermanence of moving time, the stillness of eternity, the flotsam and jetsam of parents, friend, family, along with an abiding draw toward affiliation all converge and emerge in the work (at least that is the intent). In that sense the mundane is the sacred and the sacred is the mundane - the work attempts to employ an alchemy in the media where the two opposites are merged. The lowest female voice is that of Odetta The lowest male voice is Paul Robeson. The work is called "Motherless" (the original working title was "Motherless Catholic") so it is not necessarily about motherhood - but the concept of mother is essential. Rather than Mother-hood, it is instead about the sweet and sometimes bitter experience of alienation - from "nouns" we long for. The associations of tone, word, color, texture, focus and fade are to precisely evoke the gamut of emotions - some of which you touch upon in your comment. My original reply was deleted when youtube reloaded the page on me - so this response will have to do. Please know your comments are greatly encouraging - you seem the only person (beside Rita) who enjoys these products of great labors . . . for that I am greatly satisfied. Noam Adder p.s. the entire series is being published at veoh.com - just search "motherless sequence" - you must be over 18 to view. 11 parts published to date 7/9/14

Noam Adder I actually have another friend on FB who I shared some of your works with and she really liked them... she may comment on some these videos in the future.

fascinating and completely unexpected - thank you paul - you can see more episodes by going to veoh.com - just type "motherless sequence in the search bar at veoh and you should see another 10 episodes or so - some are still uploading. with love of Noam Adder

Very interesting comment. For most, if not all, of the works of Noam Adder - descriptions are sparse to inspire precisely the effects that you are seeing. All of the audiovisual products of Noam Adder are established as a meditation-activation that promotes experience and the by-product of idea you speak of.For the mandelbrot series and open source program called fraqtive is used. The experience of the infinity of detail in the construct of a finite space is the catalyst for various and diverse augmentations of mental exploration that will manifest detail in the infinite locality known as individual consciousness.In this instance the mucous has noting to do with the video - though your musings are not only encouraged but endorsed.The mucous used is from a composition entitled "Reverse Genesis" by t3pbarker recorded on 6/5/14. It is the second track entitled "reverse genesis 10." Very interesting now that this is being noted - the mucous and the fractive product definitely are more related than they were intended to be.Thanks so much Paul - keep the ideas coming - it is greatly encouraging and rewarding . . . Thank you

Noam Adder As you know spatial fractals are self-replicating patterns that appear as one zooms into the image which are result of non-integer, fractal dimensions (these computer generated images have a fractal dimension between 2 and 3). I suppose that if one was able to explore this in "time" with sounds or 'music', then the patterns (either rhythmically or harmonically) would repeat themselves on smaller time scales compared to longer time scales. It would certainly require a more sophisticated algorithm and I am not even sure exactly how it would actually sound, but in any case it seems interesting conceptually.

Noam Adder Just a short tidbit regarding Benoit Mandelbrot. When I was at Drexel University in the 80's there was a conference that I believe was on theoretical physics and Mandelbrot was one of the invited speakers. He sat in front of me during one of the sessions and I noticed that he was somewhat confrontational although not abrasive with the other speakers. He did not let them get away with anything... Unfortunately I was not able to attend his talk. The interesting thing about the fractals is that people have used them to describe various patterns in nature such as coastlines which have a fractal dimension between 1 and 2 (in other words not completely a one dimensional line or two dimensional surface.)..also the outer surfaces of plants such as leaves...

ah yes dr. pulaski one of the many reasons he loves you so . . . the infinity of realities forms - the infinite infinitesimal - a wonderful anecdote and one he's never heard before!
