Omi woody arch tour

[imomus]

Spent the weekend amongst delicious wooden architecture in Osaka, Nara and Omi Hachiman, where Henri de Charpentier (a Japanese homosexual dandy with pocketwatch and lorgnette) and Phirip (glitch bracken cake maker and performance artist) conducted their warabimochi sukiya tour, pointing out traditional Japanese wooden buildings as well as colonial-style wooden constructions by anti-property missionary architect William Merrell Vories, who believed that Omi was the centre of the world. The town has certainly become the centre of my August, and I'm becoming convinced that we should all live in wooden houses, make wooden instruments, and soak all day in wooden baths in public bathhouses. A bath made just for one, even a nice deep spilly cedar box-bath, is a prim bourgeois error.

I was out there last weekend with my girlfriend. A friend and former member of Dumb Type did a dance/video performance in the old theatre. We tried some of Phirip's delicious mochi and purchased her CD. I was suprised to find out that she had performed at an event organized by a friend who used to live in Barcelona, known as "The Wrong Festival". Also she had hosted two of his friends, from Barcelona, who also visited me during their trip to Japan. Small world.

One of the highlights of the day was the Kecak Workshop (http://homepage1.nifty.com/starcage/fibonaccikck.html) run by Akio Hizume. His sculpture/installation in the sake warehouse was also really good.

Can we expect a future Momus album to be played on wooden instruments in Just Intonation, with Fibonacci rythms?
