trick n. About 1412 trik thing done to deceive or cheat, ruse, wile; borrowed from Old North French trique trick, deceit, treachery, cheating, from trickier to deceive, cheat, variant of Old French trichier, probably from vulgar Latin *triccare, from Latin tricari be evasive, shuffle, from tricae trifles, nonsense, a tangle of difficulties. --V. 1595, to deceive, cheat; from the noun. An earlier sense of to dress, to adorn (found before 1500) is perhaps an unrelated word of different origin. –trickery n. (1800) --trickster n. (1711) –trickery adj. (1786)

To put oneself in touch with any elsewhere is a process of unending complexity, to open a box that can never be completely unpacked. Our need for certainty, objectivity and distinctions between subject and object are revealed as comforting fictions. Foveation, like genealogy, is a process that raises more questions than answers, and invites ever-new difficulties of knowledge and interpretation. But, as Frank Kermode tells us, “…the fictions must change, or if they are fixed, the interpretations must change. (Kermode, 24)” So, though we may never really be “in touch” with our chosen elsewhere, we may, through close attention, relinquish those paradigms of centrality, origins, fixity, and finality that condition our ways of knowing. We may come to experience our relationship with our objects of study as ever-changing, increasingly complicated interactions in which our fictions about other fictions reveal only one (hardly comforting) conclusion: that in making sense of our object, we make sense with our object. In short, sense is “made” only through relationships, in the broadest sense of the word.
About me: Sparkle Girl is a guerilla sound-art project founded in 1994 by Kurt D and Jim E. A “garbage noise duet” and “cultural esoterrorist auditory affinity group”, Sparkle Girl is a decidedly non-academic, anti-hegemonic, sonic circus of resentment. Sparkle Girl makes few concessions to taste, talent, quality or other such mystical abstractions. In the spirit of play, Sparkle Girl is engaged in the cultural production of sound collages, field recordings, free improvisations and loose compositions. Our work is sonic, visual, literary and propagandistic in nature. Sparkle Girl has produced and distributed over 6,000 handmade recordings in cassette, CD and mp3 formats. The majority of these works have been handed out free at public events such as protests, concerts and live actions. Many have been left on public payphones, toilets and buses to be randomly discovered. Some have been placed in record store bins with labels that say “free”. Many of our cassettes have been recorded over corporate music releases, which were then re-labeled with handcrafted collages. Another source of raw material consisted of hundreds of dumpster dived tapes from AEI music. Their cultural detritus was expropriated and recycled by Sparkle Girl, pressed into service as a tabula rasa for our carnival against boredom. Sparkle Girl agents have distributed these objects in cities around the United States and Canada. Works have also been distributed via the Internet and through trade with other sound artists. Our work as Sparkle Girl represents an assimilation and assortment of our daily experience with sound, media and our own nervous systems.
Sparkle Girl utilizes a wide assortment of tactics and tools in her sonic architecture; Walkmans, samplers, bass, guitar (heavily treated), everyday household objects such as key chains and children’s toys, contact microphones, turntables, megaphones and snare drums. Our work with tapes and found sounds carries over from our field recording activities and our interest in broadcast media as sites of cultural contestation. The sonic detritus of our lived experience is captured, deconstructed and re-organized using briccolage and cut-up methodologies. Snippets of news programs, rainstorms, opera, insects, oceans and answering machines rise and fade amidst classroom lectures, radio static and violent demonstrations. Nothing is off limits. We have even written a “song” now and again.
The sound of Sparkle Girl runs the gamut from easy listening to bizarre transgressive psychodrama. enjoy the sound of egocentric nihilistic decadence, the uncontained howl of irresponsible hermeneutic surrealism
Who I'd like to meet: MARCH 2004 MEMO-------
It has just come to Sparkle Girls attention that the U.S. military has a new toy, the Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD. This nefarious instrument of sonic torture promises to be useful for dispersing hostile crowds and warding off potential enemy combatants. With their customary scientific precision, CNN describes its function; It blasts earsplitting noise in a directed beam. Sparkle Girl is unimpressed. We have been doing that for years. In their playground attempt at one-upsmanship, the coercive state apparatus once again targets Seattles most degenerate sound art cell. The developer of the LRAD, American Technology Corp. of San Diego, recently got a $1.1 million contract from the U.S. Marine Corps to buy the gadgets for units deployed to Iraq. Must be nice. As usual, big business is in collusion with the repressive foot soldiers of state terror, all the worse for Sparkle Girl. Due to our policy against copyright, our ideas were helpless game before the predatory hooks of a Californian corporation so desperately fucking EVIL they feel the need to plunder the intellectual property of two 30-something lumpen- bourgeoisies. Design a weapon of your own invention, you cerebral pickpockets! That it was described as an auditory barrage dispenser is proof-positive that these billionaire bureaucrats did not hesitate to loot the reams of critical analysis written about Sparkle Girl and subvert those sacred texts to their own reptilian and insidious ends. Dubbed "The Sound of Force Protection" in a company brochure, the devices can broadcast sound files containing warning messages. Sparkle Girl has been broadcasting warning messages for 5 grueling years, and the parasitical pigs in power still arent listening! Here is the latest, thenstop ripping us off! Stop hounding Sparkle Girl! Stop calling us at all hours of the night! And trash your ridiculous, infantile noise weapons or we will bring two fifty-watt amplifiers over to your house and teach your grandpa how to fuck!!!

"The test of the integrity of a poem, or any work of art, may be, simply: does it lead, in the end, to freedom, or does it merely expand the arena of confinement? A voice from the outside, truly, is what we need to hear. Even a single word. Even something that is not a word, but suggests such a word."
