Abandoned Meander is the first in a planned five-record series outlining the Discordian concept of the "Law of Fives": Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis, Parenthesis, and Paralysis, each of which represents a different stage of maya. Thesis manifests chaos protected by Goddess Eris, codified by hexagram 2 of the I Ching and directed entirely toward Yin. She lives on the planet Venus, and her Tarot card appears as the High Priestess Trump II. After spending the last 300 lunar cycles pressing keys and and striking strings, (sometimes simultaneously) in a variety of group projections, Abandoned Meander was born as a singular noun in the confines of the vacuum tube bubble otherwise known a Drop City Ω. Material for this chapter in the series was collected and scattered across the briny deep of the Pacific Northwest, and the barren sands of Park Bench,California. Released October 31st, 2006.
