Loping the Mule

One of my mentors told me one time, he said, "Lightning Rod, nobody can ever possibly fuck you as good as you can jack off, because you have a better imagination and you know just what you want."

This collection of recordings bears him out. I'm playing with myself. But it's sort of a time-lapse masturbation. Track after track remembering your own fantasies and the breath and rhythm of your desire. You fuck yourself in the ear, penetrate the hymen of your tympanic membrane and shamelessly stroke your own auditory lobe.

These pieces were all done very quickly. One take on each instrument. They are gesture drawings, sketches.

Does anybody know how to get in touch with Windham Hill Records?
