Stuttered series of stabbed entries, or at least violent indentations-- digital blood vessels broken in big dots on taut, skin-like, tent-like surfaces, surfaces dipped and pulled like Lyotard's extended human expanse, draped over violent rhythm. So many points of contact/entry that the surface gets refreshes, re-constituted in ripples of violence as wave texture. Entry that is sometimes just a stab, sometimes a movement that opens out, sustains, layering patches of different levels, forming provisional new surfaces. New levels extend simultaneously above and below our point of multiplication, sound extension as a perpetuating, self-making prosthesis series.
