SCHIZO-DIVISIONS

For "Resonance(s): A Deleuze and Guattari Conference on Philosophy, Arts and Politics" I am organising in Istanbul in 2010 click here

BECOMING-SEXUAL OF THE SEXUAL

or should we go, be a little alcoholic, a little crazy, a little suicidal, a little of a guerilla –

taking a philosopher from behind

extending the crack to unforeseen dimensions

no finality

without getting afraid of being paranoid

getting hysterical

- discontinuity -

is this source attainable?

only if we could picture a model

the model of the model which is unknowable. imagine Artaud’s neurotic language

a wall of sound and the sonics you hear give you only some clues about what lies behind this wall, given the fact that Merzbow does not imitate what he cannot hear but represents what he fails to hear

it is probably why the lyre bird with an extraordinarily beautiful tail in southern Australia has got no song of itself except the other songs of other birds which he imitates. the lyre bird imitates everything whatever he hears, even the chainsaws he hears in the forests: the whole infinity of sounds is his model but he doesn’t have one of his own. becoming-quantum of animal?

Büchner’s Lenz five minutes before he starts hearing the noise of silence, or goes mad, or attempts to kill himself. in contrast, a thorough understanding of complementarity means to look at killing oneself together with the impossibility of killing oneself and thus extending it to a life-long project.

our intention is to extend the crack and perhaps look at the volcano in the face, to look at the non-identifiable, the non-identitarian, the undecidable, or better, the un-negotiable. (continues in the blog above)

... as for my aspirations to become a soaring dog, I understand that I cannot fulfill such an identification with the “origin” for this is where even the object of identification, together with my self, disappear, revealing the absence of a model. Thus, I shall embark upon a new field of research, the science of music. Although I still have some doubts about how to hear it, and fail to identify what I hear as music, this failure endows me with a freedom from gravity towards a desire to be a self-floating being, the truth of which I don’t produce via a paranoiac desire to know: it is “a different science from that of today, an ultimate science,” as there’s nothing to simulate except a sense of a directionless, nomadic floating, much as a Bataillian way of communication.

I wonder if this ultimate science is the science of the meta-audible the inaudibility of which, based on a self-shattering “masochistic” pleasure, I celebrate as a failure to constitute myself as a full-fledged subject who can hear the things.

And isn’t this “ultimate science” a matter of “not to be dead and yet no longer alive,” as Nietzsche once put it?

DIVIDE BY ZERO

is now available at Manchester Metropolitan University's Deleuze Studies Journal Actual/Virtual

ANIMOT: AMOURTALITé MON FROTTAGE

in BACONISM (dedicated to Francis Bacon), released: December 25th, NIkO Label Japan.

DIVIDE by ZERO

SIFIR is happy to announce the release of his Divide by Zero by Colin Johnco Records, Paris.

You can download the whole album at: Colin Johnco Records
Or, you can purchase the hand-made CDR here. (http://colinjohncorecords.free.fr/shop.html)

"What I produced in this album can be considered as another attempt at starting from a scratch – that is, from the recorded scratches which we divided and mixed so as to force them to the impossibility of dividing more: a process that culminated in what I call "de-sonance." All because, what starting from a scratch means on a score that is presumed to be haunted with sounds is nothing but back- and fore-grounding the fact that I have already been "scratching from the start.”

Music, Philosophy, Arts - but radical.

SIFIR is an electronic music project of Zafer Aracagök. Daphne and Mum are the frequent contributors to SIFIR's music both with their vocals and ideas. The band thinks music is hysteria - a definite influence of what Gilles Deleuze wrote on F. Bacon. His last cd - "Ben Aptalim Cünkü Ölüyüm Ben Ölüyüm Cünkü Aptalim" /"I am Stupid Because I am Dead, I am Dead Because I am Stupid" - is about Nietzsche's collapse in Turin and its aftermath.

"Yalvaririm Beyfendi Saatiniz Kaci Gosteriyor?"/"I Beseech You Sir, Tell Me What Time It Is" is about Sevim Burak, a language-dissident Turkish female writer who produced radical texts of l'écriture féminine during her life time between 1931-1983.

Aracagök publishes books of fiction/theory, and teaches and writes on continental philosophy, basically, on the issues of sound, noise and image.

Dear Sifir/ I was not aware that the Politics of repression were quite so heavy duty in Turkey/ I cant imagine living and working under such subjugation/ Does this affect you personally/ I know that Academics in some countries get a hard time from the Control Apparatus/Relieved to hear that yr cat survived its fall/ My cat is a fighter/ The moment its outside it finds a cat to fight with/Its now a law that cats must be kept in side to protect the wildlife at night/ Texas wanders and paces the corridors trying to get out/When I go outside for a cigarette he paws at the door whinning and crying "please let me out to fight" The problem is he always looses and is expensive to take to the vet/ He never learns a thing and soon as he is back home he is limping around trying to get back out the door/ He is very territorial and is always "re-territorializing" his space/ He is a Nomad cat a Deleuzean Feline/ Look after yr self Sifir Regards and affection Lee Kwo/

the noise laden air suffocates with a determinacy that falls beyond the point of exhaustion as aggressive instruments no longer grounded in the space that surrounds them crash synaptic connections and explode in a sorrow of technophilia/ A tonal intensity free of specific content or focus /an eroticism no longer limited to particular zones or organs/ We have moved beyond shock and live in a state of dislocation stealing identities and  appropriating suicide notes where we can find them/we live in a space of uncertainty and longing for detachment and disassociation/ Our sense of intimacy has become a skitzoid disjunction/ this desire to seek anonymity while preserving a Avatar to reconfigure ones self  thru a stifling fatiguing and tortuous erotic union of subject and object/ We need images band as our tolerance increases we demand more stimuli for the body to survive in its narcoticised state/you cannot afford to relax or slow down or you are out of the Game condemned to endless withdrawal and final extinction/ The word is a self reinforcing habit we have become addicted to/ Faced with the fear of living or the fear of dying/I have no real personality but re-create myself each day/ The fact that I seem the same has more to do with habit and long term memory/ I am cool medium I invite distractions and want to be astounded I am barely conscious use peripheral vision and flow thru a random drift of delirious  discontinuity/ What is it like to have the ego dispersed?/its the feeling of not having a center but also of not even lacking one/ Present time “the NOW” have been drained of its vitality/emptied out/emaciated to the point where it is only the thinnest of membranes barely separating a traumatic past from a fateful future/Under the Post Human there is no longer a self to be alienated from/ I am affirmed and forgotten in the same delirious moment of blatant artifice/ Am I afraid of living or dying?/ Regards and affection Lee Kwo/

NEW BOOK OUT NOW:
Chthonic - Prose & Theory by
Vadge Moore
 
"Vadge Moore is an American author and musician that has spent a lifetime testing the boundaries of good and evil. He toured and recorded with the infamous sleaze-punk institution The Dwarves, apocalyptic rock group Neither-Neither World, and his own nihilist-noise unit Chthonic Force. He has written for the early nineties occult journal Primal Chaos, the esoteric magazine Dagobert's Revenge, and the controversial web 'zine Synthesis. Recently Vadge has taken up an aphoristic-prose style of writing that best expresses his iniquitous and sinister insights into the mind of Man. Chthonic: Prose & Theory is just that; prose wedded to theory that scrutinizes the human, all too human, Monster that is Man."
"Chthonic: Prose & Theory" is a collection of perverse and violent prose wedded to his own brand of occult esoterica. Peer into the mind of one of America's greatest living libertines.
