Dimensions
of the composite/cut-up texts.
”Cleave
fast to mayhem and let no arson be away from thee and clamp murder to
thy breast with WHOOOOOPS of seal leaps at your throat in Ralph’s.
Not a bit alarmed about that think of something else.” (Burroughs:
Interzone .166)
Mayhem:
Milan is conquered
“Mayhem
is a Norwegian black
metal
band formed in 1984 in Oslo,
Norway.
They are regarded as one of the pioneers of the influential Norwegian
black metal scene.
Mayhem's career has been highly controversial, primarily due to the
suicide of vocalist Dead,
murder of guitarist Euronymous
by bassist Varg
Vikernes,
and their violent stage performances.” (Wikipedia)
“Members
and fans of the Norwegian black metal scene claimed responsibility
for over 50 arson
attacks on Christian churches between 1992–1996” (Wikipedia)
“On
10 August 1993, Vikernes and Snorre
Ruch
travelled from Bergen
to Aarseth’s (Mayhem Guitarist) apartment in Oslo.
Upon their arrival a confrontation began, which ended when Vikernes
fatally stabbed Aarseth. His body was found outside the apartment
with twenty-three cut wounds – two to the head, five to the neck,
and sixteen to the back.”
(Wikipedia)
Like
dreams the composite texts seem to refer to past, present and future
events in random order and mixed sequence. This is one
interpretation, or should it rather be one attempt to import meaning
on words that have none? Or the demented dead from a timeless state
of being where all is at once – singularity – communicate via
seemingly random factors and Burroughs tapped into their frequency? –
Go figure.
