beyond the known, beyond the realms of Earth and its tethered horizons, maybe even beyond your comfort zone, to the silent reaches of the cosmos, stopGOstop is proud to present YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE END OF THE ROAD.

This is a story of two brothers, twins, bound by more than blood and who have chosen to be divided by the vastness of the galaxy—a tale of explorers, like of old. A tale of dreamers being sent out into the night without the security of home, without knowing if they would ever return. and with this journey and the weight of human fragility squarely on their shoulders. Kellan and Jonas, they are builders of light, architects of hope, sent to opposite ends of creation to build and maintain space ports to anchor humanity’s presence in the darkest of voids.

Hey now hey now, don’t dream its over. 

184: An interlude

I have been sitting here, longer than I can say.
It started as just a pause
to my day, but slowly, I stayed
seated.

the bugs at my window seem to be trying to reach the
jade plants just inside.
as I try to breathe the air.
just outside.

the light changes, my eyes adjust.
the winds shift.
I can see it in the trees.
maybe tomorrow I will stand on the deck, but today.
today I will watch the sun awake from here.
an interlude.

157: and other forms

I have been thinking a bit about electronic voice phenomenon (EVP), clairvoyance, and ways of hearing outside of the normal lately. This is partially influenced by the book Thought-Forms by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, written in 1901. In short, the book explores the visual manifestations of thoughts and the notion that they exist as objects. In parallel to these occult practices, I have been thinking about outer space (again). Specifically, on the ISS, there is no silence but a constant hum of fans and motors.

So I set up four fans, turned my radio between stations, and recorded for about a half-hour. Out of that recording I created episode 157 and other forms is in between– one part artificial hum of spacecraft, one part thought made into sound (with lots of EQ and just a touch of reverb)
