Dumuzid http://www.alansondheim.org/duz.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/duz.jpg Chromatic harmonica, simultaneous revrev and straight acoustic recordings fed back into each other, the body of music and language spoken for, what about this, a means of working through an acoustic presence, a body, one among others. Again, working towards an online release and intrinsically awkward work, meditation on the world as it is, will be, might have been, and the world of the past and the world to come. My arms' reach is small, my memory too long and too complete for the music of exaltation and desecration I inhabit among null and infinite in an inconceivable universe. With that preposterous nonsense, enjoy. "Dumuzid or Dumuzi, later known by the alternative form Tammuz,is an ancient Mesopotamian god associated with shepherds, who was also the primary consort of the goddess Inanna (later known as Ishtar)." "In Inanna's Descent into the Underworld, Dumuzid fails to mourn Inanna's death and, when she returns from the Underworld, she allows the galla demons to drag him down to the Underworld as her replacement. Inanna later regrets this decision and decrees that Dumuzid will spend half the year in the Underworld, but the other half of the year with her, while his sister Geshtinanna stays in the Underworld in his place, thus resulting in the cycle of the seasons."
