Another dream

2011-01-07T17:10:00.000-08:00

I keep having this theme appear in my dreams. This time was no different. There is this spot in the center of my torso... just below my ribcage. When I inhale deeply, my body begins to float. At first only a few inches. Within moments I feel the natural sensation of floating and can control where I float in the room. Up and down with my breath. I suppose it is like swimming, only much more effortless. This time was in a dark room with 3 friends. The place was covered in red carpets. I was amazing my companions. Getting too excited seemed to inhibit the control I had on flight. Regardless, I was able to drift here and there. I could actually teach them as I went. Soon... I believe they will learn as well. I feel that in my waking life this ability may come in time. For now I drift amongst the dust balls on the ceiling in my sleep only. One of those lonely places that desires our touch.

Finally broke through. If I can just write this one song the way it wants to be written, then no time has been wasted. Like a ray of sunshine slapping you in the face.

The Serpent

2010-11-15T15:01:00.000-08:00

Repent! Now in the face of the snake. The venom is making me cringe, though the bite is far from my muscle and skin. Inside it dwells, releasing the mystic. The DNA coils around my feet. I can feel its slithery little scales cold upon my legs. Up through the colon and into the gut around the spleens and bloody masses inside the cage and cavern. Bubbles in the blackness, upward rising cancers and mites. Coelenterates war with the organs and these fingers dance around in nervous submission. tick tick tick...

2010-11-12T16:34:00.000-08:00

The green sea is lapping up on the shore a mere 100 feet from my door. At night the silence is almost unnerving. There is only an echo of nothing to fill the void. I am in awe of the possibilities. Overwhelmed with options. Major or minor? Major or minor... major or minor...

2010-11-06T21:51:00.000-07:00

I drove past the spot where I first ingested mush*rooms and heard the voice as well. Redwood highway... coastal range. I stopped at the old piece of wood that was my altar to the sunset. The same spot I heard the clouds split open and reveal the song of my life. Somehow I expected to hear the voice again. Waiting for the waves to accidentally intentionally break some syllables in my ear... nothing happened. I walked around in circles and admired the memories torn from banister. I realized how special these spots are. The places where people carve their names in wood.

I see ravens on this night
Watch them feed on heaven's blood

A B'othcie Words My Illusion

2009-10-14T18:14:00.000-07:00

I tempestuously join you in rapture.
For I am also in awe; the dawn of a new spring.
As the universe rejoices to display for us its part.
My darling, let me love you.

The third letter in the name.
May I approach?
And water the world at your feet?
I bury my hands in the dirt
Roots unwind from my palms
And frawns unravel from the coil
My body?
Transmutation.
A servant to the laughter's fate

Creator pour out that juice, the nectar, the tap turn it on!

The Faces of Redemptions

The body of my work needs more extremities.
It may need another orifice... or two.

Sitting back and relishing in creation again. This time with so many more questions. As if decision itself is the instrument I must master.

How will I know if I will care when I hear it?
In that moment. When I need it most.
This sense of anticipation is the elusive pest.

How deep will I be able to know myself? Before the moment even comes.
By this default, strangeness seems to interest me most.

Yet a foundation of predictable ingestion helps keep the poison out.

And the medicine in.

I was the absolute alone

2009-04-11T14:35:00.000-07:00

Pt. 1

A boundless new life. The indescribable sense of love.
Every cell in my body in orgasm. Fucking and giving birth at the same time.
"Mmmmm Hmmmm... "
How can it feel so good?
How can it feel so good?
How can it feel so good.
I just can't seem to forget to breathe. Concentration & Grace. Nothing is more serene. The utter release of completely letting go. In trust. All aspects of my desires are known and met. How can it feel so good?
I don't want to puke on myself tonight. Even though becoming liquid the night before seemed delicious. Blood sugar water. Entering the golden window.
Sewage Extraction Team!
Bringing in the hoses and just pulling the shit right out of my center. I believe at this point I was truly afraid. The melody had ceased. I was the absolute alone. Eyes wear on the wrong side of my head. And looking the wrong way.

Nothing but a strange ticking sound.

And a feeling of a truly wretched indecisiveness.

What could be more uncomfortable?

Pt. 2

The centipede was covered in glass shards and metal needles.
It jumped into my throat strangled me from the inside.
This caused me to instantly throw up.
Purging a deep poison.
I could taste its horrid metallic bitterness. Which caused me to keep gagging.

Pt. 3

My arrival was sublime.
And my new friend took its post in my gut.
They named him Curly.
And it is so much fun.

Who is the touch?
What beast wealds its talon slipper?
Where I sit beneath the sun
And wander upon mortal breath.
Freedom at a blade’s edge
But my obsessions overcame me
And I wandered into her skin
There we danced in silence and stillness
We melted into the mind
And I called to her ancestor’s hand
The color of the color of the color
Dripping jasmine in the mist of morning’s exhale
The resolution of sunlight
Total synesthesia
Reaping the swallowing brood
Eyes set as the famine moon
I would whisper “those” words
But a voice whispering “shoulds” denies me
corset poison corset

…fuck. it.

well, it's been a while since I've posted here... but I think I'll be using this more from here on out. I am very excited to announce that my new album, entitled "aRose" will be out Feb 14 2009! It's been 5 long years since Elucidation of Sorrow. So it kinda feels like my first album again. Anyway, on it are Sasha Rose, Dakini Star, e.Ma, Rigzin and Souleye. Thanks to them for adding such amazing magic. Also, the artwork is amazing. Truly. Andrew jones is the creator of dreams unseen but amazingly familiar. I am blessed to have his contribution.

My first show where it will be available is Submerge in San Francisco. The next one is Lucent L'amor in LA. Soon it will be online. Until then, write me, call me, find me and I will get you your copy.

Bless,
Rab

Selfish apothecary takes us
into the dull redemption
An age of condescension
echoing the slow elation
The reason why dance
is no more than life
Caressing waking hands
in the solace of light
Change is but a lull
in the wretched beyond
la la la la la la la la la la....

hello from yemen

2008-10-26T09:48:00.000-07:00

Sana'a is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The people here are so friendly I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful it is. They are very curious and always smiling. Being here is like being in a hive of intricate nostalgia. There is nothing i have ever seen that is truly this ancient and authentic. Sights such as camels strapped to contraptions and strutting in circles to crush sesame seeds for oil. We got invited to a wedding part in the streets last night. As we approached up one of this city's many winding streets, I could hear the excitement echoing like stream of birds. Rounding the corner is a sight I will never forget. A swarm of fireworks, dancing and live music. The men moved in circles wielding enormous blades. They moved with pride, as if their fathers who had taught them were joining in the saga. Fireworks would periodicaly erupt from the center and all would run in laughter and song. Four men played flute and drums and other instruments. Another held a microphone which was connected to a sole megaphone type speaker atop a roof. Women sang from the balconies directly above. We were hurried this way and that. Everyone welcomed us and asked us of we would like to chew qat with them. Our cheeks were already stuffed with what was supposedly the best qat in town. Suddenly we were summoned to greet the groom. He was surrounded in an entourage of 10 or 15 men with no space between them. I was shoved by his side, but had to be careful of his large Kalishnakov machine gun. A few photos were taken and I was quickly, yet lovingly pulled to the perimeter. Luckily I was able to record most of the sounds. Joshie has been wielding his fisheye camera and I my small digital recorder. Because most of Sana'a is free of cars... or any sense of modernity... the quality of our takes are outstanding. From the fully burka'd women, the qat chomping men, the elated and constantly playing children to the glimmering knives, decorated motorcycles, and shimmering prayer songs of the mosques. All is beautiful. All is enchanted.

Today was spent hunting for sounds and photos. To our amazement, but were beyond plentiful. Most agreed to be shot. The adult women, of course, were forbidden. We snuck as many as we could, but many times there eyes were to obscured to see if they were looking. The children often flock to us and follow us for a few blocks before being replaced by a new gang. It was quite a joy to show them the photos we were taking of them. To be certain, the people are among the friendliest I have ever known. I'm constantly catching their curious stares. A simple smile and they melt into agreeable teddy bears. The common outfit is a head scarf, a skirt like wrap, a western sport coat and a decorative belt bearing a 9 inch knife in the center. Although it appears merely as a style, we did encounter two men with knives pulled on eachother in a wrestling argument. After a bit of tussle, they parted. Although the knives were mere inches from each other's faces, no one seemed to react in extreme emotion. Just another day in Yemen. After a full day of winding exploration we were guided by a 6 or 7 year old girl to the local spot for Salta. This lamb stew is delicious, boiling hot and served with fresh warm bread. After our fill we spent the rest of the day chewing qat and finally chasing the sunset with the fisheye camera. I will never forget these few days among the last reminents Arabian culture as it was before oil.

Partial Lyrics: The Clarification of Meaning

2008-09-25T00:57:00.000-07:00

Journey through the eye / Of the calm storm Where living In / Order of an Un-know mind Marvelous /
It’s the Transcension of life /
Death call for sorrow /
Answered with a pause /
Breath stopped for a moment in time/
Lost sense a reason/
Which leads me toward a path of tomorrow /
Gone in the Morning/
Returning back in the evening /
With a definition /

Lyrics: "Only Touch"

2008-09-23T09:27:00.000-07:00

Only Touch...

Down in the bottom
I hang in rhythm
Holding the water with a lonely touch
Catch my ashes
Set upon the river
See with no eyes and it is too much

Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
Always
Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
Don't forget about it
Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
No one stays
Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
Let's forget about it

Only Touch....

Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
This is no dream
Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
I'm joining you
Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
You've awoken me
Do you like it, do you like it, do you like it?
Ah let's forget about it

Down in the bottom
I hang in rhythm
Holding the water with a lonely touch
Catch my ashes
Set upon the river
See with no eyes and it is too much

Lyrics: "For my Corpse"

Rain
Honey and Wine

And you know I will be waiting
By the blossoms of curling trees
Only here will my sleep redeem me
Only here will my corpse smell sweet

And you know I will be waiting

THE RIDDLE
RAB
VIDEO CONCEPT/DIRECTOR
MARIANO A. DIAZ
JULY-19 -2005

A beautiful day will turn to night as the sun goes into an eclipse..over the country side of Ashland; ..during the Shakespear festival week ..
At this time of year..there's dressed up actors all over town.with humorous theatrics in the hazy autumn light..the scenes are pretty surreal with lots of smoke and wind engulfing the world.
There's a group of actors dressed -up , performin a parade down the street; accopanied by ;stilt walkers and a small marching band ...and... some small circus animals. all parading ,dancing,,,power-.walking towards the horizon(.along with the enchanting intro.)
.cut to..

Later that evening.. as the extended intro keeps playing..our small parade has made their way into the woods..and are marching up a small dirt road leading towards an illuminated barn in the distance...glowing amidst dusk's fog.
(some close ups of the night activity in these parts ..i.e beettles .night owls ,wolves etc.)
cut to.

The eclipse is well on its way ,,that is almost covering the sun.The extended intro keeps playing..and we start going into our setting....pass some trees..throught the fog.. when we encounter a couple of cherubs ,,one bathing while the other one plays the flute along with..the ..intro
.they are dramatically back lit by a pair of headlights..beaming throught the dense fog..(pan shot r-l).coming our direction.
cut to;

We see some dogs barrkingat something.. When the lyrics kick in.. An elaborate metallic art car rolls up. and a group of the most dazzling beauties ever..come strolling out !!. They're dressed in brilliant fabrics and reflective colours...they represent the diff. icons of theatre and history in angelic humorous forms...with extreme make-up and hair dos..so ellaborate..beauty marks and collars ;as well as poodles and mascots of diiff. sorts,
they stroll out and make their way towards the entrance,,just as the small parade arrives on foot,,and stilts....they are all greeted at the entrance by the two miniature royal guards (;with shinny helmets and mustaches.)..the entrance is an ornate piece of art... the golden molding and red carpet are.nicelly juxtaposed with the rough esthetics of the barn.
We follow the whole crew..in through the two huge barn doors..an amberlight glows from within..when we reveal..
cut to;
Inside this old barn is one of the funkiest ..most elaborate masquerades ever thrown...it's a surreal exhuberant display of buregois excentricity....there's a lot of white wigs and make- up (Luccent d'ossier)
the feeling of magik hangs in the atmosphere,,sparkles, smoke and the over all feeling of LOVE,,hangs about,,there;s familiesand kids running around,,playing and laughing ,,there's an ellaborate tea party taking place,,of the likes of alice..in wonderland..

We glide through the air ,,..just above it all..& come across clouds of white baloons moving out of our POV to reveall: a fashion show on its way..it 's a show case on absurdity ..with costumes so elllaborate ..they barelly make sense (.i.e a giant medallion,a mirrored priest..a giant light up bird..etc. )the setting changes as well..big framed mirrors/paintings and fabrics come down ..a stage -alter is set up in the middle of the wall,,, looking very gauti.
with sculpted light rays shooting out of the center and lots of glitter.. the people go wild..flower pedals start flying around.and it all becomes very ceremonial ,an anticipation performance if you will...golden lights..& all!!
That's when our own ...Rab takes the stage -alter !! on top of his dj set-up(podium)walking in slow..motion.(at first)..he looks like a space age evangelist preacher..with mic in one hand.a golden sword in the other,.and lots of white and glitter!! , with lots of sexual presence .. the crowd loves it !!..

when he delivers his lovelly lines the ladies go wild in the front!!.(.they scream!!)

A spot light goes on him...and he gets smoothie,,the crowd listens in love..flowers and other sweet items land at his feet..Rab takes his bows but the lyrics keep playing..he smiles and blows some kisses,points at some girls in back..takes a couple of more bows..and eventually picks up the song again,,the crowd goes wild !! (.they scream!!).
When the song goes back to instrumental..the party takes over,,there's some amazing breakdancing going on .the song plays back and forth(@ 2:08--19)..there's also the delight ful scene at the tea paty ..it's all lovely!. there's an anticipation in the air ..when all of the sudden the barn doors open..! and a fleet of art cars..comes through in a gust of glitter and confetti..again the crowd goes wild.!!
.the cars drive throught ..there's acrobatics happening bodies flying throught hoops ..clowns in the foreground..some real sexyness from the various ladies present..there's a long swing hanged from the ceiling..it's all climaxing with the art cars going bye with what seems to be beauty queens and kings on top..and they are also taking their bows!!
and some of the crowd bows back.....it's a bit peculiar!..some beautiful aerial shots show the whole scenario.

What happens next is sweet ..@(3;50)every character we,ve introduce so far starts to sing along with the lyrics,,chorus..that repeats itself .."i.hummonee,,,i,,hummmonnee" as if declaring a bond ..a spoken bond..is a sweet scene as everyone 's wording ,,,in their own flavor.some look right into the lens,,smiling and all..but still very burgeois !..as it all seems to be coming to an end ..all of the sudden the other set of barn doors fly open!!a huge gust of wind ,smoke and leaves hits everyone ..it all clears the way for a nine foot tall grimm reaper!!with bright rags of red..and a very sharp looking weapon (blade) .He dramatically enters the party..accompanied by some faceless future soldiers.
The reaper's metallic face can barelly be seen under his cloak..when ..with a gruesome digital crackle(4:47)
he holds out his arm pointing forward..condemming this event..the crowd is too beautiful to show it but they are also afraid ..Rab is not having it ..he jumps down with sword in hand..ready to battle this demon..at that moment the crowd parts in half and a young boy steps forward..he's completely engulfed in flames like the torch..He's taking it from here on..Rab gives him the ole wink!.. and the: "go for it kid" !!face..

The young one has some power,he stops his flaring and instead lights up a staff,,he fiercely begins spinning ..faster and faster..till he creeates an atom like shaped energy field of fire..It starts to glow..the crowd goes wild !!(they scream)..The reaper has bent down to get a closer look when WHAMMM! he gets zapped in the face by young elijah's fire!!the reaper screams in pain!!
cut to;
ext barn.high angle..
The grimm reaper comes out running with his face on fire screatching in pain..followed by his soldiers..the crowd finds this amusing ,they don't know how close they came to...
They continue to celebrate until .it all fades to white (with their laughter) AND the eclipse its also over...light engulfs the frame..

Do they all adore you?
Are you dreaming why?
Does the desert know your wandering lies?

I come in grace to find you.
Are you feeling wise.
Don't let your vision blind you.
See it with stranger eyes.

I wonder is that the sun

I want it to rain down
Give in to the careless flood.

You'll find no redemption
With your waking sight.
The dreamer's burden
Is the dimmest light

I see a damned creation
Do an unusual dance
Don't let your conscience bind you
To your aging trance

I want it to rain down
Give in to the careless flood
