We here at Ahadada are pleased to offer you the Jesse Glass & Charles Krutzen collaboration featuring Mayakovski is Dead.

Ingvar Loco Nordin writes of this collaboration as simultaenously massive, distinguished, dense, and transparent:

[the] wall of sound sweeps the plains free of any loose debris from recent brainstorms or any subconscious litter that might have surfaced on the shores of the consciousness or its close vicinity.

Straight from the Ahadada Vaults, we present “Mayakovsky is Dead” a collaborative work featuring Jesse Glass and Malachi Scott Noegel. Recorded by Galivant Media in 1987 and posted with their permission.

It features the track, Apis — which is reprinted in its entirety here:

bq.. Apis

Bull with a serpent’s tale
I’ve seen you gallop silently
Above the shingle of the lake.
No fish swam near you
Out of fear, I suppose,
& I watched till I could not help
But breathe your element from need of life
& Cry your name
In languages I did not know: half spasm & half swoon.
You turned your wizened gaze upon me:
The muzzle of a drowned thing
& Keened a column of silver bubbles
That scummed the surface of the lake
& Like Osiris’ far-flung limbs
Coupled together in the dawn to make
One reposing flesh of iridescent domes.
That cruciform holder
Of crimson sky two booming crests
Will crash like cymbals
To a whispered shadow.
While beneath,
Ten fathoms down,
Black hooves roil vortices
Above a rusted bell.
