Untitled for Sachiko M
Untitled for Sachiko M is an attempt to create a minimum of musicality, by activating the space around a text. It is the gesture of learning, of following along. In Samuel Beckett's The Unnameable, the narrator hopes to speak until he goes quiet, to prove and extinguish his own existence in the same breath. The yellow marker that follows, that hints at being an affect of the narrator or his record, is a punning engagement with the intersections of authority, existence, and reading. A poetic complement and illustration to Untitled was published in the magazine With+Stand, and an experimental documentary of the project by Justin Smith, titled Fiction, can be found at youtube.com/noisesmith.
