Abstract

''Shatoe'' has as its primary concept the release of primal language from the basic drives of the human condition, and language's corresponding role in the expression of those drives therein . The words are ''primal'' in the sense that their usage is not semantically driven through learned reflection, but whose uses are ''chosen'' spontaneously through glossolalia to purely reflect a given psychological condition. The piece was not written out, and was performed with my eyes closed as i deeply assessed my mental situation at the given moment (which happened to be one of intense free-floating desire for I know not what). Ultimately, ''Shatoe'' is an expression of that desire in its purest spoken-word form possible.
