New piece: parallel lines, morse code and cut up.
What is probably my most experimental piece to be published is out today.
“Same Happens at the Everything Time” is in Verschränkung, the Spring/Summer issue of Sein Und Werden.
[Editor’s note: the author specified the use of the parallel line symbols in the subtitle and the morse code section headings, because they both contribute additional meaning to the piece. In addition, the author used Excel to randomise the sequence of the sentences in each section three times before picking his favourite, in a kind of digital cut-up technique.]
