Feedback Loop

Contact Email: john.noble@youngnoble.com

It is about the origin of the drive for evolutionary consciousness. Three bamboo poles, four inches wide and eight feet tall, form a pyramid. Hemp rope holds them secure and also winds up each pole, forming a double helix. Ceramic mushrooms are planted in the sand under the pyramid. An ipod and small speaker offer a recording. The recording is the background music used by Bombay Dub Orchestra and later Cheb i Sabbah in the track "Colour Line". The narrative in Colour Line is replaced by my poem "Feedback Loop" which discusses how humans and certain plants co evolve. How a darwinian survival feedback loop causes an invevitable escalation of consciousness upward toward the infinite. A second recording plays Medeski's jazz piece "Who Has The Key?"
