Selected Works, Rose Knapp

 

Radical Pulsation

Distorted reverbed rippling four to the floor 

Ecstatic trance melodies echo through shapeshifting walls

Esoteric electronic hisses, bleeps and bloops on infinite delay

Baroque Cave Scratchings

Hhhhhiiiiisssssssss hhhheeeerrrsss lines and glossolalia reign 

Fuck spit blood ecstasy abhorrent violence

There is no Cartesian I invented yet, only the tribe, the hive mind

Astral Ecstasy 

Tribal drums crash in arrhythmic patterns

Mystical glass chimes ring in ping pong delay

A crescendo of sublime stringed synths

Glitch in the Cisystem 

Are trans and nonbinary more than a glitch 

In the system of binaric rigid gender roles? 

A few of us are famous, but what about the rest of us, 

The impoverished, the Dalits of Western society?

Modular 

Modular morphing futurist glassy gliding synths

Intermingling and intermeshing 

With atmospheric crashing analog stabs
