GOBBLEDEGOOK (10mins 56secs) by BREYER P-ORRIDGE Published by FREIBANK/Miss Jackie Songs 2003. Aesthetic Nutritionist Miss Jackie Breyer P-Orridge. Cultural Engineer Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. Creative Consultant Bryin Dall. "A burlesque sonic environmeant that was recorded at Waxy Yellow Build Up Studio, New York, USA especially for the exhibition "Gobbledegook" at The Centre Of Attention." Gobbledygook - Sex in Art: denial, obsession and obfuscation "Obscurity and vagueness of expression is always and everywhere a very bad sign.... those who put together ambiguous discourse do not really know what they want to say: they have no more than a vague consciousness of it which is only struggling towards a thought: often they want to conceal from themselves and others that they actually have nothing to say." "The genitals are, far more than any other external member of the body subject entirely to the will and not at all to knowledge." "The poet presents the imagination with images from life and human characters and situations, sets them in motion and leaves it to the beholder to let these images take his thoughts as far as his mental powers will permit. That is why he is able to engage men of the most differing capabilities, indeed fools and sages together. The philosopher, on the other hand, presents not life itself but the finished thoughts which he has abstracted from it and then demands that the reader should think precisely as, and precisely as far as, he himself thinks. That is why his public is so small. The poet can thus be compared with one who presents flowers, the philosopher with one who presents their essence." All quotes taken from Arthur Schopenhauer "Parerga and Paralipomena"
