These new Zilverhill
recordings are informed by both the art of August Natterer
(Specifically "Axle of the World, with Rabbit" and the
"uncertainty of good fortune" depicted therein) and Lewis
Carroll's "Looking Glass" (Nobody/Somebody). Nixon's
portentous voice & actions are intuitively fractured, reappraised
and manipulated to form the spine of the pieces; the
desolation of drunkenness & schizophrenia, cold, sarcasm, and
distant/past/fleeting recollections provide the flesh. Thus
the next idiom in the zilverhill discourse is borne.
August
Natterer Axle of the World, with Rabbit, The
rabbit represented "the uncertainty of good fortune. It began
to run on the roller... the rabbit was then changed into a zebra
(upper part striped) and then into a donkey (donkey's head)
made of glass. A napkin was hung on the donkey; it was shaved."
