Steve Vai – “Blue Powder” (Live At The Astoria)

This video codified in me an appreciation for Steve Vai as a wiley acrobat and aural prestidigitator. It also left me feeling a little sad. He reminds me of a awkward pimple-faced kid at a party – uncomfortable and receding from engaging others. In a corner he finds a guitar. When he picks it up and begins to play he stops the party. All attention is focused on him. He finds this immensely gratifying. When he finishes he gets stroked by kudos almost universally. Then the rest of the party breaks into it’s groups, people re-engage each other. The kid sits alone again. Maybe he drifts off to a room and plays alone with a headphone amp. As he grows as an individual and as a musician, he will lean to engage the other members in his band. Music can be about solo lines – but as soon as the performer appears, the music suffers. I think this person could make music again (he did with Zappa) if he played WITH a band instead of on top of a bed of silk that tickles his ass while he masturbates.

None of the words that rhyme with milk have the same mouth-feel.

?M-Iee-aL-chKh.?

A carnality matched only by the unspeakable YHWH?
To speak the sound
is to hear this sound:
m?bius-stripped simultaneity
snagging and dragging the primal
birth-trauma-ameliorating
fleshy mouth-soaking gush.

First hunger sated.

“Milk:”
Viscerally?onomatopoeic coagulative gestalt:
Speaking the word triggers a
lactase deficient-flavored
gasping quantity of phlegm
- sinus -
- gush -
- cottony -
- gurgling –
- air tube peristalsis.
Head loosens and tightens and tightens and loosens.
Bowels rebel!

?Milk? is audibly formed by

  1. roundly pressing the lips together with an abbreviated forward humming (like the beginning of ?mmm-mmm good? )
  2. the tongue jets out like a land-borne gosling?s – only the sound is not as harsh: ?fa, La, La, lah, lah?
  3. The middle tough then compresses roof of the mouth..
  4. ..the sucking crack slaps the choking?consonant?clarity of …k(aw of a carrion crow)…
  5. …sending the lactating pocket of air to the palate, just in front of the teeth, creating a temporary eddy before the air “tings” off ?tips of ?incisors – softly jettisoning through lips.
  6. The concentrated jet is diffused and inhaled – reminding lungs of the first and last inhalation.
