A Cast of Billions with Norm Harris

Uploaded March 6, 2011 10:45pm.

A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track â€“ A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Normâ€™s percussion, added a track where I speak Evanâ€™s poem and did some remastering. Here is the result â€“ best version yet IMHO. The track is in 17 equal

A Cast of Billions, poetry by Evan K. Harrington, Percussion by Norm Harris, Music in 17 equal by Chris Vaisvil

I made a conscious effort to try to sound different from 12 equal and compose music that was quite microtonal. In memory of Evan Harrington.

A Cast of Billions

on the dispassionate shore
on the longitude of recursive naught
on a formal lacidity overlooking the deep end
of your swimming pool of thought
and wherewithal without, I am a native
of the repository of selfless abandon
and you a radiation of the contemplative
comb which filters the streaming random
fractured days of redundant indiscipline
cannot weight against the globes
stalwart artists can pencil in
orgasmic frenzies of the lobes
where camouflage rages gain
if we love it is from fear
but that is natureâ€™s game
returning from detouring years
applaud the cast of billions
for the splendid production
in all of its revisions
in all of its conduction
all of this amorphously to say
weâ€™ve still not drained the pool
although itâ€™s often murky
and quite the abode of fools

EKH 4/14/92
Recorded in Sonar X1
17 note per octave electric guitar (2 tracks)
Washburn fretless bass
vocal
Norm’s many percussion pieces.
