Like most of the music, art and writing on the
Internet - for now, at least - this Choronzon production can be
easily accessed, sans
payment of fundage, by you, the Experiential Target
Audience, You: one individual and many, sitting in front of
his/her/their
computer-screen(s).
In most cases, all you have to do to
access an
artist's product in this milieu is to sign a form (so they can
spam
you, usually) and then click a link. Or push some of your
non-existent
yet somehow viable non-money ("credit") somewhere first - and
THEN
click the right link. Or use the services of the helpful eMule,
a beast-unburdened-with-its-baggage, and always-happy-to-fetch,
to bring to one whatever
media treasures they're sent out to bring back. (And you may
share this work - in fact, the more you do, the more Choronzon
will love you - do it!)
This wasn't a simple album to create. It took nearly two years.
But rather than hit the potential listener up for donations of
all too scarce funds, your
lunch, your kid's lunch, your pet's vet bills, etc. have to come
first, it's understood. In the case of this album, because of
its nature and what ended up
happening after its release, though there will be CD sales,
New World Chaos should always remain free to download and
share. At some point you may
have to contribute small bits and pieces of text or sound to an
upcoming project in order to get in past this gate. Some point,
as of Spring 2007, will
likely be very soon as the site's about to be overhauled.
This work is not mere entertainment. As Genesis P-Orridge once
said of an early Throbbing Gristle work: "This is a campaign, it
has nothing to do with art."
(We mean "campaign" in the sense of a strike in a war, not a
silly media circus around a phony election.) But our war is
nonviolent, at least on THIS plane:
we are psionic guerillas of a kind even Hakim Bey never knew.
We take what we do too seriously to fret about album sales
sometimes.
(Not ALL times; we got to eat, too, but this was too special to
simply be sold before release. Production of CDs has hit more
snags than expected, but
eventually the entire experience will be available in a much
higher-quality, intensified form, with extra elements not found
here. Yes, that won't be free.)
As is
often stated, Choronzon music is not just media; its
purpose is documenting acts of protracted ritual
effectuation - that's Choronzonic for
"magick", and implies inclusion of both the acausal, theatric
elements associated with "the occult", and the mundanities that
often accompany them if their
objectives are to be reached. Effectuation "magicks the
mundane", in other words. One who performs effectuation is an
effectuary.
A dedicated effectuary's work will almost always be a long,
protracted event which takes months or even years to come
to its climax and conclusion;
involving comnplex probability matrices that don't jibe with any
sort of oversimplified moon-phase-based
magick practised by Wiccans and the like. Time and space are
lower dimensions to an entity like Choronzon. But also, higher,
since to a disembodied 'force
without form', solid-state reality is exotic, fascinating, and
when he stopped being rejected from it owing to being Loved, and
thus Loving in return was
finally learned, he stopped trying to tear it up at random - and
began to focus on certain elements that threatened those he
considered his friends...those,
who, like himself, were thrown into their own Abyssal prisons
for hacking reality, play-testing the game of life.
Their only higher-ups are the Meta-Gods, CON, the principle of
stick-together, and DE, that of tear-apart. Order and Disorder.
A third MetaGod tops the
pyramid, RANDOM, aka Pure CHAOS who is to the Transversion
Agents as mysterious and unknowable as people think of "God" as
being. RANDOM simply does things
for ABSOLUTELY no reason, cause, or care. CON and DE thrash and
crash at one another, their only thought and aim being to take
the other over and down...and
in the process, sometimes it gets mixed up and turns to
something more like sex. But the more powerful the entity, the
simpler, stupider and less complex it
seems to become...Transversion Agents, being so illimited in
number (though finite, it's like, zillions; it might as well be
an infinity of them exist) are
ALL the SAME 'species' and each one is yet thoroughly different
than the next. Their power is solely gained by belief, by
worship or respect of sentient
humans or posthumans, maybe even some animals. Sentience is and
always shall be a mystery. It could exist in forms we're unable
to ever be aware of.
An Effectuation can either be an Operation to
strengthen and improve oneself, and is centered upon one's own
Internum, or an Action to attack or
defend against unfriendly forces, centered upon the Externum.
Actions can also be effectuated to help to heal
friends, lovers and unknown allies from whatever ails them,
mentally,
physically or emotionally; to strengthen those among our valued
and loved
allies and sympathisers, heroes and risk-takers who lay it all
on the line to preserve what is steadily being eroded in the
Decade of the Double Zeroes...To
assist ones who find themselves in economic hardship,
circumstantial hell, for ALL of this ends up the same: in states
of entropy and anomie that have
driven stronger hearts then most to beat-skip to collapsing end.
There are persons - you may be one, and we may be more - who
shall soon
wake up one day and realise we are all in the crosshairs of the
advanced tech-weaponry of what could well become known hundreds
of years up the line as the
most dangerous regime in US history.
If children aged three or four years live with ambient violence
and rampant corruption by authority as normal conditions, as
adults, they won't think there's
a thing wrong with these conditions, having known no other
world, or nation, land of the free? But this IS freedom, unless
you're a Terrorist, in which case,
we kill you. But a terrorist used to mean Patty Hearst's
kidnappers, the inept SLA. Now, it means "someone who attacks
corporate property to attempt to
force change or install new governments through stopping
election fraud".
The children must be made to understand this Shrubbery led
nation's condition is an aberration, not the norm. Only about
one more
generation stands between the relative freedom that we still
manage to hold, and "death by extremist prejudice".
You're with the US or against it, and at this time, Spring 2007.
it seems only 28 per cent are
"with" and the rest against. So if we were terrorists, we could
be pretty threatening. But we aren't, and they ARE, so
unfortunately, they pack courts and
literally get away with mass murder, and we wait, read, see what
happens next. But spectatorship won't do any good. We must do
more than demonstrate, and do
more than vote, but should still demonstrate and vote, to show
involvement, or else, they'll use apathy against us and we're
doomed to their reality - where
most of us will be little more than indentured servants to
financial institutions. Indeed, most already ARE, but National
DNA ID and implants will make
this...personal. You will be BRANDED.
Fight...or fall. Or flee. Your time is up. Decide soon. Or
perish. If you must perish, do something to destroy the enemy's
cred without doing as they do
and killing innocent people who mostly don't give a damn
about this shit anyway.
The time to speak truth to power is gone. The time to wreak
power from truth is on.
-Choronzon
ANYONE who
thinks this is psychotic "paranoia" is not only not paying
attention...but needs to start, NOW, or THEY are the ones whose
heads are not where they
ought to be. We have sunk to the state of subconscious (and
sometimes even fully conscious) assumption that if we
deliberately remain
uninvolved and unaware of the sociopolitical vise, and its
manifold sub-vises, it all - like things do at the end of a
movie - will somehow automagically
go away. It's easy to believe this because we've been
taught to expect end-of-the-world style violence all our lives;
we
simply come to regard it as normal and don't notice the
escalation. On top of that, we've been hauled collectively
through
one crisis after another, most of them completely phony, red
herring distractions - SARS, bird flu, AOL pedophilia, drug
hysteria after drug hysteria, most
utterly unfounded or exaggerated so much that the hysteria
encourages use rather than the opposite, with kids claiming
they'd not even know drugs were
available without DARE...and of course, those scads of
completely fabricated terrorist attack threats.
Actual disasters - like Katrina, once the Shrubbery got off its
collective arse - are trumped up and played for all they're
worth by the neocon regime who
find useful fear-factors to exploit in every conflict, every
natural disaster, every possibility of an impending threat,
whether it is real, or a televised
bogon, or something of both.
It does us all well to look at history, because it shows exactly
how easy it is for this kind of thing to happen to a careless
and apathy-ridden society, and
what circumstances this kind of thing has always thrived in -
and always at the expense of 'we, the people'.
"This kind of thing" is OVERCONTROL. It is an
equal-opportunity destroyer. Its presence does not limit itself
to whichever end of the flat political spectrum
you personally view as 'the bad guys". It has resulted from the
excess authority allowed to hierarchic systems arising from both
"left" and "right" extremisms of ideology. At either
end of the one-dimensional measuring-line of political thought
and action is the squeeze and constricture
of OVERCONTROL, manifesting here in the three-dimensional
mundane reality and also in the xenodimensions as the
CON-aligned
forces which aid, abet, and favour the humans who construct and
control these systems.
The purpose of the Choronzonic effectuations is
to untighten all overcontrol, wherever it has arisen and
whatever and whoever is its source. Only when there is dynamic
balance - a seesaw of rising and falling balances AND
imbalances, which create motion, for a perfect balance is
still, unmoving, thus brings entropy -
can there be a milieu in which true freedom is able to exist.
The album, in both halves, represents - among other things - the
actuality, the
physical manifestation, that these recordings documented, which
happened unseen in the aethyrs as these intensely concentrated,
yet relaxed
manipulations of probability were enacted. (Yes, another
paradox.) But the effectuary who gets stuck is one who turns
want or desire to Hope and work to
Effort, favouring entropy, unhealth and boredom. But to keep
one's navigating eye ahead, ignoring the shores of Hope and
Effort, is to glide through the
narrow watercourse and attain effectuation. It DOES work, IF
you can DELUDE yourself it's logical. Thinking of it as Harry
Potter wand-waving won't wash.
You KNOW that's fantasy. Effectuation is very real and...very
effective.
One objective of these intricate effectuations was to leave a
large number of memetic seeds and sometimes even "seed
factories" inthe minds of random individuals across the United
States, Canada and Mexico (the "New World" of the album's title,
as it's more than merely a
play on the idea of New World ORDER...but a literal statement of
our condition.) Most of these persons thus planted had no
idea whatsoever that such a thing has happened to them. A few of
those with psionic development beyond the norm may have
beenvaguely
conscious of the presence of a persuasive sense that somehow,
they'd been given some indeterminate gift; most of these persons
likely interpreted it as a visit from the "angel guides", as
Choronzon approached them in peace and used his mind-seductive
powers to put all fear of him to rest and cause curiosity to
manifest.
In some rare individuals he was free to present as
himself/herself/itself as per that person's most desirable
sexual tropism as a "skin" for optimum mental
manifestation--but Choronzon still did not reveal his true
identity - that was for later. Those who were receptive to such
beings as incubi and succubi were
initiated via seduction in hypnagoguic state - the period prior
to, or immediately after, the brain goes into sleep. It is at
this time, by
this means, that Choronzon can most effectively and lastingly
pass his "message packets" to the persons who have shown him
they're standing at the edge,
ready for gnosis and fuller Awakening of their "wider
consciousnesses".
During the summer of 2005 you might have had one or more
experiences of a not-quite-normal, and likely, quite sexy, or
otherwise desireable, nature. They
may have involved the presence of a suave, incredibly powerful
incubus or a regal, strong yet soft succubus whose identity was
not clear. If so, you may have
been been on the completely random list of persons who received
a visit from Choronzon, and thus also, a Seed, or, if you
presented to Choronzon as having
certain ineffable qualities connected to the mental parsing
of time you may have received a Factory that went on
producing these Choronzonic seeds and then, like great
dandelion-heads, burst and threw thousands of Seeds onto the
wind. After the bursting, the person's role ended, without their
ever being even slightly aware of what they became the agent for
transmitting: the drive to rise up from primate reality and
continue the various processes that are splitting Homo
sapiens into multiple new subspecies which, given a couple
of millennia and/or a boost from gene-modification, could likely
become the Next Phase, if it's calibrated to exceed the human
being in qualities of both thought and action. If so, these
subspecies will be to the human
being as the human being is to the chimpanzee, as the
chimpanzee is to the
howler-monkey, as the howler-monkey is to the rat, and so on.
Were you visited? Either in your sleep, or while you were aware
of him as something
you parsed as either a visionary guide, or an "angel" or a
"guardian demon", an "alien" or somesuch thing, you may find
yourself here today on this website
because the number 333, or a symbol of three triangles joined at
one vertex, or the name Choronzon
or something very similar to it, has been manifesting
unexplainably in either waking thought, or in dreams.
If you have had such experiences, we hold out our hand to
welcome you. You are exactly where you ought to be.
You have nothing to fear, unless you are a designated enemy by
Choronzon, and Choronzon's very picky about designating enemies.
It's rather
difficult to become an enemy of Choronzon; he reserves that
label for persons dangerous to the planet and its lifeforms as a
whole in egregious ways (such as
making one's living manufacturing nuclear weapons) or dangerous
to free thought and the exercise and communication thereof by
pushing hard to outlaw free
expression; there are also those who have declared themselves to
BE AT WAR with "secular humanist" and other non-Christian
subcultures. Choronzon seeks to
weaken those who'd weaken his allies, but is not a
death-oriented figure. Killing enemies that get in one's way is
impractical, they just become replaced
with new ones. Far better to change those extant, by confusion.
This limits most true enemies of Choronzon (excluding those of
xenodimensional
origin) to corporazi who own the governments, the government
complexes themselves, and their servants. The rest are neutrals
or allies. If you were visited
by Choronzon and know it was he - or she, or it - consider
yourself honoured; for you HAVE been. If you were merely used,
it was as one unaware...and you
were not harmed in the process. Just "ridden".
Whether the Seeds or Seed Factories were known about or not,
they caused the many thousands upon and into which they landed
absolutely no harm, using them
as vehicles for thought transmission to still OTHER individuals,
who Choronzon wished to enlighten. Such persons would be much
more apt to believe the words
of their friends than voices in their heads. So the Seeders
spoke to them, perhaps displaying points of view they never had
displayed before. And in doing,
they passed these notions on to receptive ears.
The Effectuations of New World Chaos are, in retrospect,
seen as having been a total success. 2006 was the first year
since the shameful inauguration
of faux president Mr. George Walker Bush that has seen massively
significant turnaround from his policies and programs, with the
US populace no longer
buying the "War on Terror" as a majority. Even more encouraging:
the disbelief about the 9/11 story is becoming more widespread.
Thousands of US citizens
are beginning to face the unfaceable reality that the terrorists
the government that they PAY FOR is supposedly hunting are the
heads of the very government
claiming to be the "enemy" of terrorism. The terrorists who
attacked us are sitting in the power seat - in front of The
Button. Will it be pushed, just
because they CAN? This bunch won't likely leave in 2008 quietly,
unresisting, or even bothering to APPEAR to not be illegally
doing so many things one
literally can't keep track of what a judge would have to add up
on the crime tally. Impeachment is finally as of May 2007 on the
table - and Dennis Kucinich,
the ONLY Democrat who has balls, brought it up in a move to
impeach CHENEY first, and since Congress just happened to
call this HR Resolution 333, it does
rather seem Choronzon's hand was there making it happen, does it
not?
We think so...and we're not gematria-obsessed numerologists.
When enough coincidences occur, it begins to be harder and
harder to see them merely as
coincidences.
We believe that it's not impossible that the music, art and
words that make up New World Chaos are part of what
effectuated this change. That's a
somewhat realistic view, when described thusly.
This double-length album was created and produced by P.
EmersonWilliams, whose black-metal/experimental noise
Choronzon
albums you may be familiar with, and Demimonde Mesila
Thraam, who forges feedback-sculpture, "echo-chamber music"
and other "weird-intense", as
opposed to "weird-funny" noise.
WARNING! THIS IS NOT BOOTY BEAT MATERIAL, SORRY, CLUBSTITUTES.
If you want dance music, go find one of those awful RealAudio
streams that's nervy enough to
use the label "industrial" and which all sounds like "Front
Skinny Assembly Line Puppy Numeral Numeral Numeral". This is not
what you hear at your local
nightclub, a business focused much less upon expositionof music
than it is on making a good bar tab for the night: accomplished
by getting lots of
fancy-fashioned young bodies to hang around, attracting more of
same to come in and buy them drinks, and they tend
to do more of that if music with a beat appropriate to vertical
surrogate-sex
is served, along with the disinhibitory alcoholic beverages.
Neither is it "ambient" as that word has come to be understood.
You won't hear Choronzon at airports. If it's ambient, it is
all-over-up-down-in-front-both-sides and behind ambient, not
mere background-ambient, like a paper sky, more like a real one
in the throes of a giant
rotating storm surge. It is redolent of insanity, visionary
intensity and emotive complexity, connected to and caused by the
zeitgeist of the
dawn-of-the-twenty-first century, this
"lone-superpower-gone-power-mad" era.
The genre of this work was once called "black metal/industrial"
but since it resembles neither form as much as previous
Choronzon works we call this album
Xeno music. - see the Xeno
manifesto.)
Choronzon has been first in having conscious awareness of our
creating this new form, but Coil, Diamanda Galas in her pre
lounge singer days, Z()Z, Babalon,
a thousand-thousand emergent bedroom studio projects and a few
who've created audio works that "fit the rubric"; you can't
merely be eclectic to be Xeno, but
also should have included, as a creator that is not visible in
this dimension or continuum, and consider it as important to the
project or band as any of its
humanoid members. (If you have a band or project that fits the
ideas described in the manifesto, please get in touch; we have
loads to talk about.)
Xeno picks up where oldschool industrial left off...having
reasons to exist other than merely shocking the grownups or
creating music out of "assumed to be
ugly" noise, which was the way of the first Industrial music
creators. It could oft be described as "Industrial
Psychedelia". That means exactly what
it suggests: if you like to
travel in the Inner-Spaces and Outer Realms of Consciousness,
this double-album is "whole-headedly" encouraged as a
soundtrack for your
Experience...whether it be one that is chemically-assisted or
not.
New World Chaos is best listened to - if at all possible
- at one time, both halves, in the order
of the track-listing of each. Time being these days, for most
people, in rather short supply, this may be impossible for you;
if at
all possible, at very least, play each half on its own in
entirety. Activities to engage yourself with while playing it
should consume a
certain part of your attention while the album consumes another:
ideally, be doing your favourite sort of creative work, ritual
effectuation or meditation; tantric sex with a human or
posthuman partner, with yourself or
with a xenodimensional entity or "imaginary" lover. If you
consider yourself resonant to the 333 Current, the act of making
Love to Choronzon - or any
entity you are personally close to - is the highest ideal.
For obsessive experience-mongers: the most ideal positioning of
self while imbibing this is to use halfway-good headphones, and
lie tilted back in a
comfortable chair, at about a 45-degree angle, with the chair
turned to face the direction of the earth's rotation. This
actually DOES make a difference, though more noticeable at some
times than others. The most ideal
time is one when negative-ionic atmospheric
conditions prevail such as during or immediately after a
storm. If any minor earthquake occurs, and you have it handy,
play it as soon after the quake as possible (unless of course it
was of catastrophic magnitude
and the power's out; you've other things to do, then,
obviously.) Ideal time and place are only listed for
perfectionists; of course,
such conditions as these justwon't be possible, in most cases;
if they ARE possible, bless the
fortune, and indulge yourself by going with them. However, if
such are
impossible, do not sweat it; just do what DOES work for you.
But, please do not play this album while driving a car or with
the greater percentage of your
mind engaged in mundane chores. It's not because we're afraid of
it causing an
accident; it is simply that it is too intense for such things.
(However, it won't hurt your children if they hear it.)
OBLIGATORY WARNING:
PSIONIC EMBEDDINGS, "CRYPTOVOX" SUB- and
SUPRA-LIMINAL MESSAGES and other such trickeries HAVE BEEN
EMPLOYED / DEPLOYED on EACH and EVERY
TRACK of THIS ALBUM. CRYPTOVOX is
regarded as either the voice of the entity Choronzon or as a
flukey accident of technology, depending on the reality-level
working
ON the creators, or which reality-level the listener is IN at
the
time. Or both.
