Jay's Dam, Kondoolka Station (ft. Javolenus)

Years ago we were invited to stay on a huge sheep station in the Australian outback. This was one resulting poem. In 2013 I sampled Javolenus’ guitar and added my own harmonicas and shakuhachi to create Over and Outback. This is the merging of the two. Thanks again Javolenus for the sample and the inspiration.
(Javo & others: the track I originally used was actually C#m100-OverToYou . This seems to have disappeared so I had to put in a substitute to give you attribution.) Jay’s dam, Kondoolka Station a thousand square mile dotpainting and we less than a dot others have an advantage seeing this land seasons ago as a lake now a salt encrusted red plain in drought animals lashed to this dying oasis perfect skeletons picked bleached undisturbed on their saline slab they say camels and emus heading south piled up against the dog fence thwarted by mesh and electrons a perfectly undressed kangaroo white as an xray flat on this sere horizon. graeme grabs a femur does a long john silver makes a good impression our guffaws break a stilled silence, attempt to drown out mortality as grains of salt defying a deluge (from tropeland) by Rob Walker, Five Islands Press, 2015
