about

. "the large is in the small" - Elsa Teicher .

lyrics

* Point Of Interest * MIGRAINE INDUCERS tapes include embryonic snatches of tunes that were later fully realised elsewhere –e.g.: Calls Of Birds (a tune appearing on the 1982 album Letters Written) and snatches of a nascent Kodak Ghosts Run Amok (which was of course the very first Eyeless release) .

from DISSONANCE​/​ANTAGONISTIC MUSIC, released May 24, 2022
* Point Of Interest * QUESTIONS ANSWERED :
* Q: your first outfit was called migraine inducers…which you describe as “industrial”, close to t.g. or nurse with wound’s works. quickly, you moved, with eyeless in gaza, to a more musical and lyric mood . how did this happen?

* A: essentially, it’s always all down to whatever changes are happening in my personal life …. i've never really thought about music in terms of “i will construct, design and harness it” … its always been something of the opposite; a situation where i follow, if i'm able, if i’m allowed to, really…though i do recall specifically with that project that it felt more than ever like some kind of catharsis, a shout, a clearing house in many ways… that project, and some of the early eyeless songs, like “knives replace air”, “whitewash”, “john of patmos” were very cathartic…. though i am still interested in that whole world, the developments that emanated from “industrial”, all that strange symbolism, the mysticism implied….the basic metaphor…
