The Music of Default<\/span>

1. <\/span>

I guess, if you collect some<\/span>
of those strings and hold them<\/span>
in one hand, it can tend<\/span>
to look like a bouquet,<\/span>
said the sleb.<\/span>

The city does something to your brain:<\/span>
both the amygdala and cingulate <\/span>
cortex are over active<\/span>
if and when lost in the rhubarb<\/span>
triangle <\/span>


2. <\/span>

The trick with care was to<\/span>
separate the operating company (opco)<\/span>
from the properties and load up<\/span>
debt against the bricks and mortar (propco)<\/span>


We will build a fire wall<\/span>
between investment and retail<\/span>
banks.<\/span>
In other words, we will build<\/span>
a metaphor<\/span>



3.<\/span>

Back at the music festival &<\/span>
if we scrub around together in the mud<\/span>
we can try and create something fantastic <\/span>
enough to distract us from the toilets:<\/span>

a winged figure on the side of a department<\/span>
store in the sun and rain and nightlight,<\/span>
a sense of air.<\/span>
The wooden figure there is a body<\/span>
with protected inner space<\/span>
and softnesses <\/span>
strings linking the inner and outer<\/span>
woman holding a bird containing marble<\/span>
cosmologies.<\/span>
A crucifixion in aluminium.<\/span>

The tools, an extension of sight and touch.<\/span>

I am the form and I am the hollow,<\/span>
the thrust and the contour,<\/span>
the artist said.<\/span>
