presenting IlinxGroup, a music and technology project I have been working on with David Kanaga. The goal is to inject a bit of chaos into computer music, find new directions for man-machine play.
"coyote brings order to chaos and chaos to order"
"from the foolishness of the coyote, man learns what to do and what not do"

1. coyote was given a scientific name, Canis latrans, only in 1823, two years before missouri made him an outlaw (a ”dillinger” or a ”geronimo”) by putting a BOUNTY on his scalp.
2. coyote is an agent of change- bringing order to CHAOS and chaos to ORDER. He is “the spirit of disorder, the ENEMY OF BOUNDARIES.”

3. chaos will need to be looked at with completely new eyes, and given a different place in our hearts: as midwife for creative solutions, as true “coyote medicine”. This is what some tribes call a medicine that chooses PARADOX as a teacher, DANCES with chaos, and loves to ride the horse facing BACKWARDS. Do we still have chaos in us?
4. coyote’s CREATIVE accomplishments are almost always the result of ACCIDENT, usually in the pursuit of selfish or irrational GOALS. From Coyote’s foolishness, we gain WISDOM— learn what, and what not, to do.
5. coyote, trickster TRANSFORMER, FOREVER cobbling new REALITIES— emerging as drifting collaged SPACES built from the available materials.
6. in coyote’s music the dominance of the SOLID, as a principle, has given way to the FLUID— rhythmically, texturally, harmonically, structurally. coyote LIBERATES musical OBJECTS at all scales and allows them to dissolve into pure MOTION.

7. we are seeking a new music, COYOTE’S GIFT, totally insane but LIFE-AFFIRMING, & we NEED it NOW.
