“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Pteranodon

Just listening to my friends' Shannon and Jeff's music, Pteranodon. It's really really extraordinary. Speculative realist music evoking pre-human times and spaces: one piece is called “Ancient Air Space.” You can easily find some on iTunes.

Music that is heavy with wonderment, melancholy, evolutionary time—it seems static yet it oozes on. The time of the arche-fossil. Jaw dropping.
