Lordpatch User Info... | Rob Swift vs the Blend (a meditation on a �the Blend� number two and Rob Swift�s �Ablist�) by Lawrence Ytzhak Braithwaite (aka Lord Patch) Fernwood/The Hood/New Palestine 1424... What�s the definition of this essay: ...allow me to demonstrate... ...a journey in my mental...carvan from Ditch to Legends, contemplating bass domination, of George Scott 3rd, as he leads contortions of riddim, like a graffer works a rhyme on wallz via tips and nozzles, like an illustrator transforms word to image, like writers collects the syntax of sight into the symbolism of lexis, like cymbals and kneck snapping snares used by a selector Swift at the controls on this journey ? this is how I was travelling while contemplating flow. This thought is immediate. The elements of art and foreign flava in sonic epistle as a soundtrack in desidant/miltant Victorians tearing errors artistically to make the set go boom; it moves the sight/seen mise en byme toons steppin to be heard in this city to prove and show it�s post modem cut and paste flex. Turntablist to carTUNIST -- skillz tight like Panochio/an idiot gonna solo/paint a village thick like bass so low = all city audio addict thematic. Comics about comics vs Turntablist enabling turntablists on cds. �What would you do if a viscous enemy suddenly started comin at you armed to the teeth and ready to kill you? ...�a little hard to ignore. (indeed) �There must be something unpalatable about the comics to the female of the species.:. �I rented �Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai� last night. Have you seen it? Don�t you think it would make a good graphic novel?� S�all dope on plastics and paper; from the flex of a wrist -- the pressure point of the pen on the paper to the/to the/and to the... scratch of the ink and the contours of grooves ground down on vinyl = �all my competitors get chopped up�. How many panels per page? ... How many beats per minute? ... How fast does light travel? 186,000 miles per second/299,792,458 metres per second How fast does sound travel? 1129 feet per seccond/344 metres per second This is our day This is Our is Our ...day This essay: ...a try and attempt at a skill, nah fail, luring from one acoustic space to the space btwn panels sincing details of signifiers into samples of sounds to bites from life like �waiting on the corner� in Victoria �with a pizza in one hand and campy horror movies in the other�. Choppin from track to audio narrative to make �the panel of each and every comic book a (...) statement� = �this is our day�. What�s� the definition of this kite on the tight light and shaded writs of Blend and the crack choppin headshells of Rob Swift? �teenage boys�? �I can remember just about every writer or artist that I�ve enjoyed since I was a kid�; the motivation of surreality in the unreality of reality what is the fluidity of the complexity of the audio comic panel soundtrack about heads (hedz?) and lives in undisputable art for the knots come mental bangers. Macluhan, Mclaren born from Tzara -- �all my competitors get chopped up�. S�all la!!! ...manga/daDA of sound set to soul... the Gyson collection of theory into practical boppin rubber end sole come the unanimated waitng for a referent to send messages out to phat cuts. ...on boards, card or controlled, with levers... It�s the intellectual alienation of Ghost Dog�s urban dumbshow set to glued mats measured mathematically ? my themes and tactics set to blend this semiotics to sonic. Brain Wilson�s Lee/Tubby and King Perry�s echo chamber of versions plastered on paper as the subtitled parchments of PacNW Victorian ins steppin up with Jinnutiy in possessions; �with a pizza in one hand and campy horror movies in the other� -- inspiration/depression/madness petting sounds and holding tight to egos = Neckbeard upsets Clay George like the Upsetter and sends Portishead on run for their metre. 1 is alwys born from a cypher. The Ablist vs the illustrator and essayist = A swift ambient to the recorded tales of Brassard, gignaC AND desrosiers blend to manipulating faders for the weight of pencils and arms carving the image or tone to toons or tunes made flat on mats. ...is �all that scratchin is making you (r) itch� = capitalism vs symbolism. Wonder Woman/Cat Woman + enlightend society + selling = �Playboy bunnies meets the WWF� or Akil�s �The Science of Manufacturing The Criminal Black Mind� = industry/buy product amerkkkanadian tagged/chopped/graphed into a culture for the dollar ? �you know how boy�s like to fight...�. That chick in the comicshop wants to holla.... Out stretched balanced arms holding needles or pens. Stay on point!!! Panel to panel//table to table//dubplates etches foundations and sketches like specials being versioned by Cowboy Bebop as Hernandez launches mucho love with rockets. �Ya! Yo!!! is that a pen or a headshell in your pocket? Or are you just sharpening your pencil? Anime mi hentai (e) -- writing tones like stencils. What�s the definition of: ...sound to image to writs of urban (f) ables (ist) = I love you. I luv union. I level unions with �so/so/so much class. Mackin Rob to Matt with phatty tips and tracks = �all my competitors get chopped up�. The sound of math in my attic. �What would you do if a viscous enemy suddenly started comin at you armed to the teeth and ready to kill you?� �a little hard to ignore.� (I�m sure) �all my competitors get chopped up� -- in my mental carvan/rattling a sound like a ballpoint in a can/baring witness at 1129 feet per second/with Macluhan and Ellington/using light as a carrier wave/ disguised as a comicbook and cutmaster on disk/Afroeurasian/visual soundscapes/injecting ink on wallz and audiotape = �...I became a janitor of sorts� �Brainstorming� at �Night time� for the �manufactured Black...�mindframe of the absent minded and insecure...� -- now, there�s �Something Different� for you. Rob Swift ? �Ablist� elbow lounging at Ditch Records the Blend sits briefly at Legends Comix & Comics and Dark Horse Books.
