    Dale Fanning - drums and percussion
    Jesica Lurie - saxophones

    Macintosh Computer - programmed voice
    Mike Dillon - percussion and vibes

about

At this time, I was working at Amazon. a company increasingly impacted by algorithms. I used Apple Macintalk to "sing" a semi-surrealist message to the future about Ai human communications. The underlying music was salvaged from a track we decided not to release called "Salvadore Dali".

lyrics

We start. We finish.
We start? We finish?

I look around us and I have to say
that your life is about to change in radical ways.
I can't tell you how,
because I might be wrong.

(We won't know until it happens
We just won't know
we won't know until it happens)

Come close to me and listen.
Because this is true.
Look closely into my eyes:
what do you see?

It's turtles -- all the way down.
It's turtles -- all the way down to the bottom.

You cannot deny it.
I know that it is true.
It's turtles all the way down
to the end of the world
and all the way to the moon.

I won't know until it happens
We just won't know until it happens

Has been, ich bin
each been, beach been
twitch bin, itch bin
Je suis, jee-a sui
zaire swee, ghee-a swee
jees we, juice we…
Z swee

Chuh chuh chuh chuh
Just we, Just me,

Trust me.
trust me trust me
adjust me.
Just me?

Chuhswee!

C'est la vie c'est la vie
tu es foo
Yo hablo!

And in this dream you are naked
hanging upside down
from an airplane by your toenails.
You cannot deny it.
We will applaud loudly
as you twist, and turn.
It is something that you once told me
and now it will come back to haunt you.

Trust me.
Trust me.

So on Tuesdays I will come to you
with a wide variety of scratchy objects.
Like you, I am a big fan of first experiences.

"Fer sure! I feel amazing, totally appealing!"
And this is why:

I am speaking to you from the past,
but your present moment is my future,
and we are together right now.

But if I am speaking to you
at any time you weren't here
I am to speaking to you from our future:

I won't know until it happens we just won't know.

Has it happened yet?
It will be, it has been
has been, ich bin,
each been, itch bin,
itch kin,

Gee sue is

Chuh chuh chuh chuh
Just we. Just me.

Trust me.
Trust me.
Trust me.
