Diamond Portal Dérive

Diamond Portal Parallel Dérive

@dogtanionmusic held a dérive with @Royal_Standard in Liverpool. @winstonwells and @anamilgram from @aasgroup performed a parallel dérive in Birmingham.

We opened up the portal between Birmingham and Liverpool and held it open for an hour. In search of the L’wa called Papa Mao we followed a trail of diamonds


through the rain and encountered the Jubilee dérive vévé.

Instructions coming through the portal guided us towards a public sculpture, and the XX battlements suggested we refer to the 1956 Chtcheglov intersection for the protocols.

Through the portal, we saw some other sodden psychogeographers. My phone is like a weeping gamepod.

@anamilgram writes “suppose the raindrops on my glasses make everything look like infinite diamond portals”

 

At the ritual site, we encircled the sculpture in a line of red wax and symbolically pulled the heads of two babies while visualising the building of a giant Ent statue.

Then we went to the crossing place and buried the squirrel under the bush.

Papa Mao was invoked with the XX diamond glyph on the circular island.

WE
WE Challenge the individualism of the Western pop song, WE reveals the latent politics of the love song and transforms chart hits by annihilating their liberal subject and replacing it with a collective consciousness.

POLLYFIBRE
In live performances crudely adapted tools, objects and analogue machines are amplified to create confrontational noise-scapes. Our fetishistic relationship to technology and faith in the concrete are two points of contention in a live set that is as sonically challenging as it is visually seductive.

Swinething
Open the door, and listen! only the wind’s muffled roar,and the glisten of tears ’round the moon, and in fancy, the tread of vanishing shoon, Out in the night with the Dead!
