dallas fetish ball - more pix

just like the subject heading says: more images from the show ...
these were shot by kinkerbelle - http://www.kinkerbelle.com/

 

 

 

Someone commened the other day on one of these images from my Dallas performance. They mentioned how it looked really cool and couldn't wait to do it. Basically, they were going to take my idea and do it themselves. Great. Not sure how I feel about that one - oh yes, I think I do. What crap. It's not like they even understood the concept going on in my head especially when all most people see online are the images. And even for those in the audience, I'm pretty sure they didn't realize that I did have a concept in mind and wanted to feature aspects of minimalism for this  show... Oh well. meh.

dallas fetishball show stuff (music info)

cuz someone asked:
the music for this show featured a lot of ryuichi sakamoto. oh wait. it was all sakamoto.
the first piece was from a collaboration with Alva Noto called Aurora:

The second piece was Chinsagu No Hana from the Beauty album:

Chisagu nu hanaya, chimisashi ni sumiti.
Uya nu yushigutu ya, chimu ni simiri.

Yuyu harasu funi ya, ni nu fa fushi mi-ati.
Wan nacheru uya ya, wan du mi ati.

Tun nu buri-bushi ya, yumiba yumariyun.
Uya nu yushigutu ya, yumin naranu.

Takara tama yatin, migikaniba sabisu.
Asayu chimu migachi, uchiyu watara.

Agari akagariba, shimi nare ga ichun.
Kashira yuti tabori, wa uya-ganashi.
Chinsagu nu hana ya, chimisachi ni sumiti.
Uya nu yushigutu ya. Chimu ni siniri.

one of the English translations I found:

The Flower of Balsam, one dyes on one’s fingernails.
The words of one’s parents, one must dye in one’s heart.
Ships sailing the night seas take their bearing by the pole star.
The parents who gave me birth take their bearings by me.

One has to study and to master the name of constellations.
But the lessons taught by one’s parents are not mastered by study alone.
Even gems and treasures will rust unless polished.
Polishing my spirit night and days, I traverse this transient world.
When the sun rises, I shall go off to study.
Please plait my hair, my dear mother.
The Flower of Balsam, one dyes on one’s fingernails.
The words of one’s parents, one must dye in one’s heart.


The last piece was from the Neo Geo album: Chin Nuku Juushii (Okinawa Song).
I can only find a live version of it. The other ones on the youtube are too fast. ick!
