William S. Burroughs lecture,July 20,1976,on paranormal,EVP,text+tape cut-ups,prognostication
This audio recording complements another Burroughs one uploaded to YT earlier (see: "William S. Burroughs lecture,writing class,June 25,1986,on paranormal,synchronicity,dreams" ): http://youtu.be/d-2a0Rti6-Y
I've also uploaded an entertaining short (9 min.) reading by Burroughs entitled:
"The Cat Inside - William S. Burroughs,alternate early draft excerpts,1985 reading":
http://youtu.be/7IppLHP7pvI
In this recording Burroughs covers the cut-up method of writing in some detail, & reads from his own cut-up writings, as well as some by Burroughs' sometime collaborator Brion Gysin. Burroughs describes how some cut-ups appear to be uncanny prognosticators, accurately predicting future events, according to Burroughs.
He also describes experiments with audio cut-ups using tape recorders. He had intended to play recordings of some of Gysin's tape experiments at this lecture, but the tapes had not arrived on time. Instead, Burroughs describes some of the cut-up tape experiments.
And he covers other tape experiments that interest him conducted by paranormal investigators & what today is commonly known as EVP (electronic voice phenomena), where tape recorders are supposed to record unexplained mysterious human voices though no such sound input is available to the recorder. Burroughs refers to these as "Paranormal Voices" experiments/phenomena.
Burroughs also makes reference to dreams, the last words of Dutch Schultz, Shakespeare, computers, Homer, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, & Carl Jung.
There's a long Q & A session with students at the end.
