Cut-up as a method of fragmentation and reassembly — language, sound, and meaning broken into pieces and reconfigured through chance, rhythm, and montage.
From Burroughs & Gysin’s experiments to modern sound collage and experimental music, it’s less about narrative and more about structure emerging from disruption.

After a quarter-century entombed in obscurity, The Dark Eye is revived as Edgar Allan Poe’s Interactive Horror: 1995 Edition, a still-flawed yet serviceable gateway into the fascinatingly nightmarish world of a dark cult favorite…

In this the legendary 1978 Nova Convention, we hear interviews with organizer/poet John Giorno, followed by the uncut Nova Convention panel discussion unheard for decades. Moderator Les Levine masterfully guides panelists William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary and Brion Gysin. Listen to them re-imagining science fiction and foreseeing a culture yet to come.
The Nova Convention was a three-day event, taking place in New York City on November 30, December 1 and December 2, 1978. Intended as a homage to William S. Burroughs, the “convention” included seminars, music performances, readings and more. Attending were an odd mixture of academics, publishers, writers, artists, punk rockers and counterculture disciples. The event had a small hitch. The organizers had announced Keith Richards’ attendance, which made the event a sellout. Richards’ last minute cancellation, however, gave the event an antagonistic oscillation between performer and audience.
The series was originally produced by Giorno Poetry Systems for WBAI radio. The 2013 restoration comes from John Giorno’s private tapes. The effort is to restore, as completely as possible, the entire three-day event for for broadcast by the Clocktower Gallery radio station: https://clocktower.org/show/nova-convention-1978-the-third-mind

Tonight’s #movie, Queer, Luca Guadagnino, 2024.

I've promised to myself - and others - that one day I'd write a novel about "The Family".
It would be a work of fiction based off real life and it would be about a loose knit community in #Bergen #Norway, comprised of #hipsters, #hippies, #newagers and #ravers.
They have cost the #Norwegian #welfare system millions - and don't even know it.
I'm not sure if I'm at a point in my life now where I can write about them, but I will be employing my inner #huntersthompson and #williamburroughs.

Most interesting to me about William Burroughs was his characterisation of 'Word', meaning 'Language', as a virus, as often remarked presaging #hiv and #aids, but more importantly and more often overlooked drawing attention to the way language operates in our societies these days.
In a field probably rightly dominated by #NoamChomsky, Burroughs is a much under regarded figure.

Charles Gatewood ~ William S Burroughs and the Scientology E-meter, London, 1972
After turning on the E-meter Burroughs began asking himself questions:
“Am I me?”
The needle fell.
“Am I that I am?”
The needle reached a neutral position and stayed.
“A floating needle,” said William. “Excellent.” -

"Many policemen and narcotics agents are precisely addicted to power, to exercising a certain nasty kind of power over people who are helpless. The nasty sort of power: white junk, I call it—rightness; they’re right, right, right—and if they lost that power, they would suffer excruciating withdrawal symptoms."

“Burn, burn, burn”
The entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy opens:
“Louis Pierre Althusser (1918–1990) was one of the most influential Marxist philosophers of the 20th Century.”
The entry goes on to talk about the French philosopher’s impact on Marxist philosophy and his career, and then, dropped into a paragraph, almost like it is not particularly notabl...

❝ [William S.] Burroughs’ work, like [Ornette] Coleman’s music, seems to flow and move in waves washing over the reader impressionistically. Burroughs looks beyond the traditional novel structures while still trying to hold the reader’s attention. With the cut-ups, this seems a game of brinksmanship. Who will blink first — Burroughs or the reader. This seems to be exactly what Coleman was attempting in his music of the early 1970s. ❞ → https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/william-s-burroughs-connection-music/

Fue uno de los máximos exponentes de la “Generación Beat” en los años 50´ y se convirtió en un faro para muchas de las luminarias del rock. Blondie, Bowie, Zappa, Ian Curtis, Patti Smith y Joe Strummer, entre otros, mamaron de su prosa a la hora de componer sus propias canciones. Ha formado parte de la mitológica tapa de “Sargent Peppers”, puso la voz en una poesía de Jim Morrison (“Is Everybody In?”), junto a Kurt Cobain colaboró en una pieza llamada “The “Priest” Called Him” y cerró con su rostro ya avejentado un video de U2 (“Last Night on Earth”). #WilliamBurroughs (“Yonqui”, “El Almuerzo Desnudo”, entre otros) nacía un día como el de hoy pero del lejano 1914. Sin embargo, su legado literario va de la mano de una particular filosofía: el lenguaje es un parásito que se encuentra en nuestras mentes y no sabemos que estamos infectados. #EfemeridesRock
