I just saw the sea and the sea said to me 'HEY YOU ARE RIDICULOUS'

I just saw the sea and the sea said to me 'HEY YOU ARE RIDICULOUS' 

with a few exclamation marks after it

so I think that might be the system reboot moment

 

well it was more the starlings that ridiculed

they said 'WE ARE SINGING THE SAME SONG AS LAST YEAR'

and the blackbirds did too 

 

The sea just seemed a harsh judge presiding over them

the dullness that made everything recognisable

made me insignificant 

and said 'TURN OVER IN THE WASH'. 

Still Silver : Diode + Rick Holland featuring Chris James.

The moment it is made it becomes a fly in amber that can appear as scenery in another world, immediately. Strange to mix a song into any more complicated a scene than that. Hope you enjoy it, and in keeping with the BIG RELEASE (small here), here are a couple of images of Diode and Rick Holland standing in front of two walls*. www.charliecampbell.co.uk

A video interpretation waits in the wings. Can't wait, will fly into the world soon... the dance of charging kites... 

disclaimer : As Bukowski said, all that follows is propaganda, these two shifty photographs replace the limited edition lithographs which replaced the hot air balloon carried inflatable stenograph planned for the release date. Still Silver is a three way production burning with love and twisted through the gnarls of the world's working parts.

drum

 

in the deep place

in the shower

trying to imagine that which is beyond perception

what it might be

 

in the deep place.

in the shower.

trying to imagine that which is

beyond perception.

what it might be.

 

settling on a refraction of light 

(from slatted blinds

through drops of water

on the shower screen)

as though it is evidence 

of another possibility. 

 

in the deep place

like NASA footage

speculates an atmosphere

lines in space

a planet's giant arc

without temperature or gauge. 

words like 'swirl' begin to satisfy 

'beyond' 

 

but 'swirl' contains 'inside', 'out of'

a counterpole of 'still'.

And what is still beyond perception?

 

Back it comes, it always does

to the tone, repeated, drum.

Depression Awareness Week : These words I write kept me from total madness

I haven't posted a pdf on here before, so hope it works. Am in a rush to get to a studio this morning, but wanted to put this out now as I've just been told it is Depression Awareness Week. I threw together a selection of writing from when I was in my early 20s with the dual purpose of demonstrating how easy it is to get on a computer and create a 'pamphlet', and how important the act of writing can be. I hope the attached pdf is downloadable from here, if not I will revisit tonight or put on my website.

Rick Holland Poet : Train the New Imperfect (2012)

experiment in one-take film-poem. footage from east coast train to doncaster. sound recording first reading of unfinished poem made for installation piece 'Second Stream' - here : http://www2.hull.ac.uk/news_and_events-1/news_archive/2012newsarchive/march/p...

(POEM FROM 'SECOND STREAM')

Hull, them train to doncaster, two-step

rasping scuttler, Humber skirting,

past them trees that grow from half way up

stuck squat in that thick hull mud

wonders like a film world skews them senses, 

makes you think of your world 

as grown from half way up 

what's under there, whats in that mud?

Humber side, south on the cool coast

whoosh at the slow stops

at Gilberdyke 

and them humber wheels still spinning yarn from coal seams.

The cold world of fishing boats

the batter of dockers, Shanty lyrebirds

in ye olde black boy, warm aled

from the spitting wind at convex panes

all cloudy as the humber wind

plays tube bells with the chimneys

and them hoots echo til they reach the sand.

Goole, like yesterday unplanned. 

Hatfield and Stainforth 

heavy haul, make, forge, extract, transport

them words play out on motherboards now

front end coda for the ideas world 

whose units are the selling learning earning

world of self. The products real as vapour 

no more half life on the earth,

echo out in the humber basin. 

land to land and over land

travelling man travelling mind

man emerges from the mind 

mind emerges from the man.
