Prisoners<\/a>

Nearest thing to a Picasso we yet have, in my view.
\nWhatever history decides, there’s no denying one point
\nof Sondheim\/Picasso commonality – an almost compulsive
\nproductivity.
\nI’d push it further -they both constantly transform lead into
\ngold. Picasso & his seat & handlebars, Sondheim, for example,
\nthese bits<\/em> of video.
\nThe music, a kind of hallucinogenic, shredded-up
\nslow funk\/blues, is also particularly noteworthy.
\nHere, for good measure, is Alan’s accompanying rubric:
\n
\nprisoners of motion capture, prisoners of west virginia<\/p>\n

prisoners of caloric, froid, prisoners of gravitation
\nprisoners of art, mayhem, vandal, prisoners of desecration<\/p>\n

o to be a prisoner of life again (above the clouds
\no to be a prisoner of love again (within the waters
\no to be a prisoner of truth again (beyond the earths
\no to be a prisoner of dance again (before the fires<\/p>\n

prisoners of fires, froid, prisoners of aerostat and transport
\ntransport of prisoners, clouds, waters, earths, fluids<\/p>\n

yes, prisoners of fluids, prisoners of fluids and places
\nprisoners of west virginia, of fluids, places, life, love,
\ntruth and dance again
