Black Box 18 :: Annual Report 2010 (Part Un)

Annual Report 2010 Part Un

Illustrated by Milla Galea

Composed by Simon Saint-Simon

On a wintry and treacherous December 17 2010 Simon Saint-Simon was joined by Harrison Prickles in the overtly comfortable, air-conditioned halls of the Heyward Gallery, South Bank, London. Here in front of a partially live audience they met to discuss the years highlights thus far. However neither expected the dead air that ensued to result in their incarceration. A breif relaxation of the ancient sphinctal libel laws means that a show that was quickly banned can now have the first putrescent corpse of its visi-gogging aired here today now.

Black Box 17 :: Swallows' Pit

Swallows' Pit

Illustrated by Milla Galea

Composed by Simon Saint-Simon

3/3 recorded live at Westminster Road Necropolis. Twilight has fallen upon the terminal dawn and no day to speak of lies crooked between atrium panes. Feathers have been spilled upon lost marble flooring but before these petrifications, a lively August swaying brought to fruit the globular and monal last spits of Simonhain which was accompanied, as is the tradition, by the bearing aloft of chairs, arms and other instruments of love.

This year the females and males played in honour of Dickie Hyde who came northwards to suprise himself square within the pyramid, laid-bare as he was with gauntlets and down-laden with dumb number.

'Now summer's tumult through sweet clover has been clasped to the hold I ask you, sizzled brethren, to drop your rates, break water, cease your faring and bubble up sotto voce to just touch Saturn's ring of hearts'.
