about

The track starts with Edward Albee being interviewed by Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, on the television program "About the Arts" in 1978. The track then turns into a rather cold, experimental noise like sound, that persists throughout the song. There is very little to no documentation regarding the production of the track other than excessive patching of the Korg MS-20 Mini, and perhaps some pitch alteration on the Tascam Portastudio, which creates the distorted warble effect.

lyrics

Eugene O'Neil said that you couldn't survive without, what he referred to as ... now I can't remember what he referred to it as ... in 'The Iceman Cometh' ... pipedreams. That affected me very much as that struck me that that was absolutely wrong. If you got to strip all of the illusion away, and then build all the pipedreams and know they're untrue. But you can't build anything, except on absolutely solid ground. Illusions are okay, delusions are okay as long as you understand what they are. So, I suppose my plays are concerned with people, knowing the difference between an illusion and a false illusion; maintaining an illusion because you require it, rather than believing it to be a truth.
