luminous backrooms by steven leak and cp mcdill and gordon way

The Colour Merchants . . . welcome to the music of this new to this world intrepid sound art trio. Come along with us as we explore and revel in the synergy of our diverse creative voices. This is one of a series of new albums by us.


"hazed in the tumbling air,
a thousand match flame lights smudge
in reflections of gold and violet
deliquescing
in the swell
of smoke brown puddled shadows

the long cars make daggers of beams
that break on windowpanes
where no light talks

crystal and sediment …
nothing is pure enough!

to each other breathing in the moonlight.
we are breathing. we are alive.

we are the golden eternity,
in the luminous backrooms."

Elements excerpted and rebuilt and interpolated from the poems of Michael McClure and Kenneth Patchen and Kenneth Rexroth and Diane Di Prima and Gary Snyder and jack Kerouac
