“It seems like Dan and I are
metaphysical aura-trash
projectors,” says Joe, anchored by
a pithy, feral expression, which
looks beyond objects —  a s though
he is channeling his description
from a source outside of fractaled
self-consciousness.
THE
MUSIC OF
PREGNANT AND
ZECKI AM SUN
Dan, who answers via telephone, is at first
reluctant to explain what his music is about.
He offers, with vagueness uncharacteristic
to him, “it’s light... lighthearted... I don’t know.”
He seems suspicious of my intentions, but soon
sucks away into a charming wave of glossolalia.
“Dotchikarima. Ochikarima-sensation.
Sensation. Don’t you see? We’re all living in
the dotchikarima. Sensation. Sensation.”
The impetus of word-chaos excites the wave
into finding its ocean, and he continues:
“It’s about rainbows, boners, goats, waterfalls,
eyelashes, rocks, dirt, pine needles, needles,
eyeglasses, sore throats, curly hair, straight
hair, straight or gay, CD rainbow reflections,
universal temples, happiness, sadness, eternity,
bathtubs, yarn, mermaids, dolphins, the color
blue... red, purple, light shades of yellow...
Alexa, Joe, Daniel, Andy.... no. No, no, no, stop.
I’m done.”
“ It seems like our music mostly emits from our
eyes but masked by our... what is that word?
What is it when you’re really uncoordinated?”
While Joe himself is not verbally remiss, his
articulative powers —  r emarkably strong —  r ely
on a fluidity that can at times defy lingual
convention, in favor of abstraction. He finds
the word he was looking for, which is
strangely obvious:
“...clumsy. Clumsy. Clumsy instrument juggling
juggles.”
by Alexa Shapiro
There is a silence, and Joe turns off the
speaker on his phone. I can only hear
one end of the conversation, now. Joe
seems to have realized that Dan has
one more thing to add. He turns the
speaker back on. Dan’s gnomish voice
gurgles sweetly from the other side,
and adds one more influence to his list:
“...love!”
Pregnant & zecki am sun use computers,
guitars and their minds to create electronic
compositions that explore the nature of the
spirit. They take a break from the capital city
to tour the Pacific Northwest this month.
