The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents A SEED IN TIME by Spore Designers.
Composition : HOMO | Recomposition : OresteS
"Timeless Psychoactive Music for Ambient Music Lovers"
In early August 2023, I was having a hard time navigating the Threshold Of Boredom (cf. Sleazy Peter Christopherson). Most of my contacts were on holidays and I was feeling lonelier than ever.
Having too much (?) time on my hands and having just been acquainted with Bull Of Heaven (check them!), I decided to tackle my pathological impatience and gardening disability by creating a sound piece lasting as long as possible (within my possibilities); it ended up as SEED IN PROGRESS, 20 hours long.
I invested, digested and regurgitated a good deal of my released and unreleased music into it, acquiring a small crumb of patience by every sound effect taking, literally, 40 hours to complete, during which I had to go on with the “rest of my life” and wait.
When I made SEED IN PROGRESS available, Orestes kindly offered to rework it into something else, with numerological wisdom, condensing the original 20 hours into 3 hours, 33 minutes, 33 seconds.
Here we are. Here it is. Here we is.
(The original 20-hours SEED IN PROGRESS is freely available from
[email protected]. It is very different from this, with much more silence and much less activity, for which i am so grateful to Orestes. All Hail The Necrophile Hummingbirds In Our Souls.)
So these words by HOMO tell all about it, I just answered to the amazing sound piece HOMO did (be sure to check it!), I could add that the essence of creation is that chat through time and space between dreamers, like a being split in so many parts trying to understand what happens. But is it really necessary not to keep silent this, when You can dream of the future ?

Multiplicity: the dot that becomes a universe
Multiplicity: the dot that becomes a universe #poetry #photography #dVerse #abstractart
Bursting by Maria L. Berg 2022
Let’s continue to explore that smallest thing–the dot, the pixel, the eye mote, the speck of dust, the atom, the cell–that when multiplied “spreads out, encompassing ever vaster horizons, and would end by embracing the entire universe. (Calvino)”
In an old set of geometry tools, I found two compasses: one regular with a point on one end and a place for a pencil on…

Calvino's 5th Memo: Multiplicity - The finite in the infinite and the infinite in the finite
Calvino's 5th Memo: Multiplicity - The finite in the infinite and the infinite in the finite #poetry #photography #dVerse
Knitting Light by Maria L. Berg 2022
“Literature remains alive only if we set ourselves immeasurable goals, far beyond all hope of achievement. Only if poets and writers set themselves tasks that no one else dares imagine will literature continue to have a function. . . . the grand challenge for literature is to be capable of weaving together the various branches of knowledge, the various…

Thank you @luxlit for continuing the awesome 'Gray-Card Top 5' tradition, with your ' Year End Top 5 Photo Extravaganza!
My selected images honour my partner Alex's ongoing support of my craft, his contributons and his part in pushing my creativity forward.
1: ‘Pareja rara’ . Portrait of Alex and I. Bless mirrors! This is a Polaroid Duochrome (green) print soaked in bleach.
2: 'NYC #08. Jan, 2023'. A Polaroid print soaked in disinfectant. I soak my prints in many things, and Alex came up to me one day and suggested I try soaking the polaroids in disinfectant for a change. This image is the result.
3: 'The essence of self (i)'. This started as a photograph of a print of 'Rhapsody in red and magenta. #04 140923' which was Salt water soaked 35mm slide film (made with gratitude to a master of this process @matthew_c41) . I then printed this and did water colour washes over it. Very recently, I found out that it (as part of three images) is a finalist in an art award. My partner Alex encouraged me to invest in an art printer for home, so that I could experiment more with painting over prints. Something I had been wanting to do for a while, but was worried about the expsense and needed a push to actually do it.
4: "Downtown Manhattan, #09". Feb 2023. This was taken on Boiled Kodak 200 35mm, whilst I was staying with my partner and we went on local walk in the fog.
5: "Lush #71". Feb 2023.
This is a portrait of us both, shot on Kodachrome E100 soaked in Gin and Tonic, in his apartment.
