An attempt to include text and perhaps a clearer/more discernible intention in an improvised piece. Except I ended up just reading the text first and using that as a frame for the 'song'. And by 'intention', perhaps I just meant "I feel angry about these things."



TEXTS:

I really love doing cut-up like destroying everything and making music out of it I especially like writing absolutely anything I want because I know it’s going to be destroyed. [1]

Trans young people found it difficult to access health services with 60% feeling isolated from medical and mental health services, and 42% having reached out to a service provider who did not understand or respect their gender identity. […] Around 3 in every 4 trans young people have experienced anxiety or depression. Four out of 5 trans young people have ever engaged in self-harm, and almost 1 in 2 trans young people have ever attempted suicide (48%). [2]

Cutting is a feminist aesthetic proper to the project of female unbecoming. […] masochism is an underused way of considering the relationship between self and other, self and technology, self and power in queer feminism. […] If taken seriously, unbecoming may have its political equivalent in an anarchic refusal of coherence and proscriptive forms of agency. [3]
