I chopped up Bukowski
And stuffed his laughing heart into
Misanthropic doom jazz dark wave.
I conjured the Melek Taus
From the unsuspecting eye socket
Of a young Yazidi.
His body a rash of polyester
Births the cosmic egg
And thus the Peacock Angel presents itself confuddled.

So.....often I can’t explain why I make the stuff I make. Or what it is. And perhaps it’s more fun to retain an element of enigma, however deranged. Considering this week’s YouTube deep dives comprised of geo glyph maps, twin sun myths, chapbooks, peahen eye trackers and psychic automatism, I’m actually surprised how coherent it all turned out. It is a magical thing we do, us humans. We make stuff. We create. Because we can. It is truly remarkable and it doesn’t need any explanation. With narratives like the one above, we ought to get a cult going. A fun non kool-aid one with aliens and loads of chocolate. If you like listening to a voice that sounds like a nauseous but determined female baritone ghost, punctuated with questionably placed piano glissandos and classic goth beats, I’ve uploaded the full four and a half minutes of excruciating sad scape on my website Karisgonegonzo.com/musicbykaris and soundcloud.com/karis-harrington. Go subject yourself.

The Laughing Heart:
Your life is your life
Don’t let it be clubbed down into dank submission.
Be on the watch
There are ways out
There is light somewhere
It beats the darkness
Be on the watch
The gods will offer you chances
Know them, take them
You can’t beat death
But you can beat death in life, sometimes
And the more you learn to to do it
The more light there will be
Know it while you have it
You are marvellous
The gods wait to delight in you
