The Delusions of Control
Afghanistan has a horrible history of not only bands of marauders trying to control this land but, empires trying to control it as well. The piece was inspired by an Afghanistan general who said that his country is the graveyard of empires. Even today it is in political turmoil with militants trying to seize control of this vast mountainous area. This is a proportional poem that addresses the imperial struggles of control and the futility of such a quest.

Kaz Maslanka Electronic Music 1979-1988
I would like to thank Joel Sanderson for his work in archiving the work on this blogpost.
Here is an archive of some of my electronic music from 1979-1983
During the day that I met John Cage, a video was taken to document the event at the University of Kansas in Lawrence Kansas (Home of William S. Burroughs) In this video at seconds 28 to 38 you can see me reading statements from Cages work. It is hard for me to express how hard I connected to John Cage in that period of my life. His "Indeterminacy" record (1959) was a profound influence on my thinking. In this video you can see Cage and Burroughs chatting.
Here is a link to that video
Here is a 1988 recording of me and 3 of my friends doing an electronic improve at Kirby's Beer Store.
"An evening of experimental music performed by a temporary gathering of musicians at Kirby's Beerstore in Wichita, Kansas. It features Kevin Smith (keyboards), Kaz Maslanka (keyboards), Brian Curtis (keyboards) and John Eberly (saxophone)

Autobiography
Every
aesthetic production is autobiographical in the sense that one exposes a piece
of one’s soul with every expression.
