Reconfigured these thoughts on the constellation between the stuttering 'speckled, speckled speculation' of #Captain Beefheart and the 'intermittent rhythm' of #Adorno's 'logic of disintegration' here. In #TroutMaskReplica as in #WalterBenjamin's #Trauerspiel, the 'exuberant subjection of antique elements... would, in destruction, still be superior to the harmonies of antiquity' (The Origin of German Tragic Drama 1998: 178-179).

A sky speckled with stars, grounding metaphor for the 'constellative thinking' advanced by Theodor Adorno (after Walter Benjamin), focused on fragmentary particulars of the scattered cosmic body of Adam Kadmon - 'Damadam to infinities!' (Finnegans Wake 18.30) - intercalating with the intermittent rhythm of Captain Beefheart's 'speckled speculation' in #TroutMaskReplica

A sky speckled with stars, a grounding metaphor for Adorno's 'constellative thinking' (following Walter Benjamin), which focuses on fragmentary particulars - figuratively the scattered cosmic body of Adam Kadmon: 'Damadam to infinities!' (Finnegans Wake 18.30). Breaking the attunements of being, this thinking evokes the intermittent rhythm of Captain Beefheart's own 'speckled speculation' #TroutMaskReplica #Trauerspiel #DonVanVliet #CaptainBeefheart #JamesJoyce #Adorno #WalterBenjamin #kabbalah

A sky speckled with stars as a metaphor for the atomised intermittence of 'constellative thinking' advanced by Theodor W. Adorno, focused on the fragmentary, minute particulars of the scattered cosmic body of Adam Kadmon - 'Damadam to infinities!'
