12/17/2021> stream #2 off Tributaries = «Niger» > it kicks off w/ a soundbyte from Robert Lopez then segues in2 a recording we made of women threshing millet in Mali (from when we visited Dogon country in 2009), that served as the departure point for the song > we used CADADC tuning (altered a bit 2 match the women's voices) then this is more or less what we did:

+ hear's the lyrics:

Niger

25 trips
around the sun
½ our life
we've lived as 1

from Dogon country
to the Cape of the Cat
a binary star in
the same orbit

+ who would of known that an eclipse would lead all to this?

2 pairs of lips
engaged in a kiss
legs entwined
like cricket strings

the violins drone
the triangle rings
in unison
from artesian springs

+ the motion we make when we spark a fire or pound the grain is all the same

25 trips around the sun
½ our life we've lived as 1
in unison

+ who would of known that an eclipse would lead all to this?

... Ssentially Dogon mythology as applied persunally 2 us (Sound ƒuries, 2 celebr8 R 25th trip around the sun as a cupple (w/ another 5+ revolutions b4 we got married)) > w/ their naked eyes the Dogon knew Sirius (the Dog star) was actually a binary star system long before scientists w/ their fancy telescopes verified this (in 1995) > the Eclipse line is a refrence 2 how we met our bedder-½ (the voice of Sound ƒuries)... after viewing a solar eclipse in 1991, we hitched a ride back from Mexico 2 Tucson w/ these 2 guys who introduced us 2 R bedder-½ > guess the song doesn't halve much 2 do w/ the river (tho the Niger runs nearby thru Dogon country) > hear'5 the vide0 using the above-mentioned millet-threshers + also footage from a day we spent on the Niger river near Timbuktu:

> Tributary #3: «Columbia»
