For the new comers: The reports of Interzone contain the monthly activities of the members of the group in different domains. As we are about 300 people in the world, all different, the whole might appear at first sight as an incongruous medley. For more information on the subjects developped here, please refer to the previous reports since 1997 in the page Information on Interzone |

Lawrence
Ferlinghetti ~ City Lights, Big Sur, Cabin Fever
Hi all,
Spring is definitively here and I have been settling in my new place, have a nice garden, and the animals seem completely satisfied. France Culture is broadcastsing a reading of "On the Road" at the moment, and I am writing this report listenning to the adventures of Kerouac and Old Bull Lee.
From the Zone side, this report is really thick : here are the news events of the month :
Grazulis in China :
Grazulis is coming back from a trip in China. You can read his accounts in his blogspot at http://grazulis.blogspot.com and view the pictures he puts on line regularly at http://www.flickr.com/photos/grazulis Very nice photos. His site is at http://www.grazulis.co.uk
Bernard de Clairvaux's letters to the pope
Eugène III:
I have used the opportunity of the election of the new pope to put on line letters by Bernard de Clairvaux to the pope Eugène III. You can read them at http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/declairvaux1.html. Kind of strong speech ! If you do not read French, you can have a rough translation through a translator.
Non-aristotelian economy : call for
experimenters :
I am preparing a teaching on line through the site "La Sémantique Générale pour tous": http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr and still working on a non-A economy in the frame of the Zone (see the articles on the subject at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/economy.html.) Here I am looking for Zoners from different countries interested in it to make a theoretical simulation of organization, which we can then present to our bankers : mine is interested in it. We can first make it like a monopoly game, and if the bankers agree with it, then we can apply it.
Dreamachine making :
I am having requests for dreamachines, mainly from people in US and England. Due to the differences of electric systems in France, I am not sending the whole dreamachine, but make just cylinders, adapted to the size of the turntable. I can make plans for 78 or 45 rpm. The turntable which I use is a Sony PS-LX250H, which is wide, and easier for the 45 rpm, which require more holes than the 78. Price of one cylinder : 50 euros for the work (5 hours), plus mail fee.
Dreamachine plan stealing : "Faut pas
prendre les enfants du Bon Dieu pour des canards sauvages !" 1
Some French satanist took my dreamachine plan to put it in his site at http://www.magick-instinct.com/lamachine.htm pretending it comes from a Spanish site of TOPY which would own them. Actually, the Spanish site had translated my plan without asking, of course, and the French translated it from the Spanish translation. After I asked him some clarification, the bastard answered the plan was his, obviously did not know anything about Burroughs nor Gysin, and nearly asked me for money ! I have no objection about anybody using this plan or putting it in one's site, if one asks before and quotes his sources, but I object against one using my work without asking and presenting it like his.
Once clarification about the satanists : since some years, a number of attempts, from different origins, have tried to link it to Interzone. I shall not impose on you today the list of their doubious jokes , just want to make it clear about the dreamachine :
When I put my plans on line in 1998, some guys from Temple Press, who had published Gysin's plans and also refer to satanism, got upset and pretended that they had the monopoly of the dreamachine stuff. Though, this plan was mine, not the same as Gysin's one, as it allows to access to different rhythms inside the alpha band, and Gysin had encouraged me to spread it.
Having heard Gysin's comments on this group at the Final Academy during the projection of their video Naked Lunch , I know that he had no link with Temple press satanic orientation, which he did not specially appreciate, though he was eulogistic towards some previous collaboration with them, which he preferred much more. So this orientation does not involve Gysin at all, and associating his work and image to it is a swindle. I understand that satanists need to steal some people or groups image to appear presentable and make their activities appear as acceptable, but as for me, I have no interested interest in manipulation of symbols.
Now which attitude did Gysin have with the dreamachine effects ? He discovered those effects in one bus at sunset, looked for explanations, and then he built with Iam Sommerville a machine which could reproduce them, which he called the dreamachine. He described those effects, emitted a number of hypothesis about them, and used the dreamachine in an artistic context, but did not try to hide the information on it, nor to limit its spreading, and never earned a cent with the machine. When he put me in from of the dreamachine in his flat, he did not ask me for any money, and as far as my plan was concerned, he said "Go on !"
As for the link between satanism and dreamachine, it also is a swindle : it
rests on a false image of human organism : weather one likes it or not, the
dreamachine effects are part of the human program since mankind lives on this
planet. They were know and used centuries ago by sufis (see the extract of
Henri corbin's book : "L'Homme de Lumière dans le soufisme iranien"
http://www.geocities.com/interzonelibrary/8tnad.html),
in a spiritual context, and certainly not a satanist one ! As a result, people
involved in such swindles act in the sense of criminalization of some human
programs, through the association of some functions of human organism with the Aristotelian
concept of "evil". (see about it the article "Les
différentes étapes de l'évolution de l'Occident:
Aristote, Descartes, Kortzybski" at http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/Articles/evol_occ.htm
, and on the so-called "knowledge of good and evil" : De l'origine
de la répression sexuelle en Occident : Une interprétation non-aristotélicienne
du récit de la création d'Adam et Eve at http://www.geocities.com/interzonelibrary/dptsg6Genese.html
)
As far as I am concerned, I have had no power of decision on the programs included in human organism, nor have been consulted about them, but for what I have stated and experimented with mine, I have no complain about it, and find it absolutely great. So if some people have some critics about it, nothing prevents them to see directly the manufacturer, who is responsible for the program, rather than forbidding the artefacts to function.
To end this subject about our no-relation with satanism, we have no money to invest in temples nor churches of any kind, and particularly not for high level hallucination and medieval mental creation deprived of real existence and power.

Exhibitions :
- Paul Green :
Brother Paul's Archives on Resonance FM :
It now seems that because of a software problem
at Resonance FM 104.4 the slot for 7.00 Monday April 11 has been double-booked,
so instead of
hearing techo-jazz poetry and soundscape fiction from Paul A Green &
Lawrence Russell you'll probably hear a program about the American poet
Muriel Ruykeyser...
....but stand by your screens and/or watch the skies for announcements of
Brother Paul's rescheduled appearance - and for forthcoming updates of audio
& texts at http://www.culturecourt.com
