Word to the wise: read this love letter to what language can do foryou. M. Magnus' Verb Sap taps the very blood of language — the textures here get at the many-fingered roots, the "crossweave fabric"of rhizomatic namings that thrust ever outward, always "by way of a word." here, the "Elfic D'oracle" signifies how a "single word canchange your life."

Lee Ann Brown

Reminiscent of 20th Century Russian absurdist poetry, with its wild wordplay and philosophic underpinning, Verb Sap's 13 th hour ruminations, break-of-day transpositions, and in-your-face midday tagging, make it irresistible work-a-day sneak reading. This book has a skewed rational or disorderly relationship to American Daily Life. It is itself a life-form — for the gobbling. Me, I broke it down by way of post-industrial nucleotides. To great effect.

Rodrigo Toscano

Verb Sap is smart, funny and absorbing — makes you want to move around, read it out, a strange kind of aural knowledge. Magnus' writing calls up the familiar, even the absurd, and twists every observation or overheard fragment into a play of sustained revelations.

Ric Royer - There Were One and It Was Two

(nh7

2007

A book that you can hear, a cd that you can read. "There Were One..." uses items borrowed from The Doubles Museum, curated by Canadian artists Jill Millings and Dr. Armand Rudge, to examine the double in its uncanny manifestations. Learn about Klaus the Two-Person, hear the lonely cries of lovers afraid of loving, feel the mist of the mysterious Gemini Fountain. Includes a booklet and cd designed to be read/listened to simultaneously.

1- "There Were One..."; Visiting relevant exhibits at the Museum of Unnatural History in Zürich, 1998.

2- "Introduction to the Museum"; Long electronic phase doubling with field recordings from Buffalo, Montreal, and Calgary.

3- "Obsidian"; Music composed for four Obsidian drills.

4- "The Two-Headed Nickel"; Selective application of the Ives-Stillwell time dilation effect to the signal. Thanks to Kate Porter for cello performance in Venice, Italy.

5- "Rural Autumn Interlude"; Mobile permutations of mirror-state material.

6- "The Bloomfield Coincidence"; All of the instruments of the modern studio perform a palindromic piece, "The Way of The World,"filtered through themselves both forward and backward.

7- "The Twins"; Sounds made with the Aleatron (an instrument invented by Q.R. Ghazala), with an application of "Berndt Delay Convolution" to the voice.

8- "The Redivider Box"; Both halves of the audio were designed around the inflection of a single pause in the middle of the text.

9- "Vera the Cats"; Sub-audible discourse streams amplified with special quack equipment.

10- "The Mountain and The Universe"; Ric Royer in duet with self, with the assistance of a ventriloquist dummy and a multi-speed tape recorder.

Ric Royer is a writer, performer and performer of writing. He tours regularly as a performance lecturer for the Performance Thanatology Research Society, a group dedicated to the advancement of higher histrionics since 1999. He is also a founding editor of Ferrum Wheel, an organizing member of the Transmodern Festival, and a frequent performer with Bufffluxus.

John Berndt, born 1967. Continuously develops his non-reductionistic sensibility in relation to thought and experience, interacting in a subversive and culturally straining way with major referencepoints such as philosophy, music, light, economy, and language. Seeks coherent novelty. Grew up as a member of the cultural vanguard of the West and today seeks benevolence without compromise as he attempts to recover from that experience. Becoming, not being.
