hey its ya boy tanthonyAntano here. now i spent a lot of time in the golden age of king gizzard and the lizard wizard fan club facebook page, back in its peak. |

one of the topics of debate that kept resurfacing was about the song "mr beat" from nonagon infinity. this song was a tonal shift from every other song on the album, and the fan base was split on whether they liked it or not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one argument was that in an infinite song album - when each song transitions into each other, and the last song transitions into the first, you need a "pivot point" to act as a time keeping mechanism so that it doesnt all merge into each other. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
im going to say my thoughts about how i agree with that argument. |

## loops |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
loops, circles, wheels, looping elements revolve around some point of fixture. there are two possibilities; either the wheel is revolving itself, or the point of fixture is itself revolving. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## point revolver |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in this scenario the song is a concrete wheel, attached to some point in space through its axle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the concrete is perfectly circle, so there is no change in form if it revolves, the final state is the same, theres no point to revolve. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that means the point of fixture is revolving the wheel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in order for this there must be some sort of infastructure behind the point, which itself entails people to build and maintain it, and it just goes on and on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this distracts the listener from the music. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## self independant |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in this scenario, the wheel itself is outputting some amount of force to revolve. the wheel is concrete and petal shaped, with the corner being heavy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if the corner is in the air, it will drop and the wheel will move. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the bottom it has enough force (in this world) to continue up the other side and start the process again. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nothing else needs to exist, so you can focus on the music. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## fin |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thats why its important that infinite song albums have one song thats a point of difference from everything else. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it makes the album better. |
|
|
|

`peace out` |
