<p>Oh, yes Claire. The Tangerine Oncoming is a MinXus-Lynxus thing based on Dw's visionary poem "Mink of the Tangerine Oncoming" & related to the cosmic meatwheel vision that has some connection to Kerouac's "Mexico City Blues." It involved some a view of the future & turned up a lot during Solar Festival 2012, which is over. A line from the poem is:</p>
<p>"For my mink conducts the bandaged orchestra with his tail."</p>
<p>to give you a flavor of the thing.</p>

<p>This is where comment streams are invaluable. Thank you, Christopher.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am guilty of slack as well. I didn't dig into The Voynich Manuscript when I first saw the reference Christopher provided. That is a most amazing addition to the canon. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I hope all asemic writers - and Yo Ma has many - take note of this treasure.</p>
<p></p>
<p>(And many thanks to co-host Claire live in Pittsburgh for the ongoing commentary.)</p>

<p>Wonderful: "...meaning can be derived despite direct formal communication,..." Beautiful, and I utterly agree - therein lies <em>Magic</em>, as it were.

<p>Ok I'm here. I have been a bit busy of late and have been slacking with all sort of things. Sorry.</p>
<p>For the record DVS, the asemic calligraphy is taken directly from The Voynich Manuscript - an ancient and mysterious incunabulum that is filled with the most exquisite calligraphic script in a language that has never been deciphered, and unfathomable drawings of unidentifiable plants and aquatic maidens.

<p>For the record DVS, the asemic calligraphy is taken directly from The Voynich Manuscript - an ancient and mysterious incunabulum that is filled with the most exquisite calligraphic script in a language that has never been deciphered, and unfathomable drawings of unidentifiable plants and aquatic maidens. There is as much mystery in its origins (many claim it to be a hoax) whilst others have devised elaborate and unlikely tales of its origin. You can view the entire book in PDF <a href="http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/dl_crosscollex/SetsSearchExecXC.asp?srchtype=ITEM" target="_blank">here</a></p>

My asemic work stems directly from this. I like how meaning can be derived despite direct formal communication, as well as exploring the perversion of the accepted conventions associated with specific types of written communication.</p>
<p>I am very humbled by the positive comments about my work and and am glad that they found a receptive audience.</p>
<p>I just hope I haven't 'peaked'.</p>
