Tio Pepe Approaches - Semantic Arrangement created by Poeticise based on William S Burroughs...

🐸 Tio Pepe Approaches... "His magic consists in whispering potent phrases from newspapers"

I have seen and heard many opinions about KEK, Meme magic, Pepe! Frogs, jungian archetypes, and so on... but Mr William S Burroughs doing some spoken word pieces in the 70's covers the darker emotional elements of the pepe/KEK symbol better than others, so I did up a tonepoem to highlight the important semantic elements attached to the mocking frog god archetype.

I used no instruments in this composition, opting for a dark acapelo style chant while choice words come from the long dead mouth of Mr Burroughs, talking to us about South American gods, intelligences and collected emotional forces.

That KEK is egyptian ab origines is not lost on me, nor are the associations between Aztec and Egypt, which Burroughs was also mindful of.

Tio Pepe Approaches makes use of excerpts taken from:

Best of William Burroughs disc 2
Track 9 - The Wild Boys Tio Pepe
Track 10 - The Wild Boys As Esperansa Turns To Go Inside; Tia Maria; Tio Gordo

Shadilay! To all good Toads and free spirits... This piece is done in the spirit of promoting thought and pointing out some of the harsher aspects hidden in the symbolism. After all, Tio Pepe kills the rage dog for mean spirited fun, it is Tio Gordo that comforts the poor dying creature.
