That's one of Jerome Joy's (along with other's) pieces -- for which I enjoy 
participating in...

sometimes -- there is the "you had to be there" concept for live performative 
events and happenings and such, but these days I often will record my outgoing 
stream partly simply because I can (with Nicecast), and partly to be able to 
listen later and consider improvements on the next improv, and then to document 
the creative output -- although documentation does carry that onerous burden of 
sucking energy out of a be-here-now intention.

"A 37-minute sonic improv titled basilisk troglodytae: in which the basilisk is 
lured along various paths into a cave by the thrumming song of the deus machina. 
Among the voices of the other damned souls, the basilisk is slowly consumed in a 
conflagration of mediatory devices. When completely digested, the basilisk 
returns, reborn, to the roots of its nature: a being that can cause the living 
to turn to stone. Despite all, Life retains its temporal vitality until it ends."

Cheers,
John
