Story behind the song

I designed a system for electro-acoustic performance. This is a recording using that system.
The source song is "If Duchamp Drew Beautifully".

Lyrics

If Duchamp Drew Beautifully
Robert Edgar

	C
The thing about bridges

    Fmaj7
Is you know 

	  E7	   BbMaj7
you’ll descend on 

                Db7
the other side.


       F#		     Fmaj7
The thing about life is…ya know…

	C
It’s a bridge.


		AbMaj7	    C#m
While the shortest path between

 	      Eb        		Eb7
us is a straight line

	  Dm  C   Bb		E7
Only factory workers move from

	     F		C
day to day, that way.

	C
The thing about chance
    Fmaj7
Is ya know
     E7	          
A lifetime of dice rolls
BbMaj7
Never produced a single 3-chord 
 Db7
blues.

       F#		                 Fmaj7
The thing about chance is… ya know…
	C
It’s a cage.
		G
And a computer can draw 

	     C
a mechanical line

	am		                        Fmaj7
Or one flowing between thin and thick

	      F#m		C#m
Finally rising like some heaven-


headed sign.
	C
The thing about youth
    Fmaj7
Is …ya know 
	  E7	   BbMaj7
It so often confuses 
                      Db7
meaning with truth

       F#		     Fmaj7
The thing about ageing is… ya know…
	C
It’s a life.

    	       Cmaj7
If Duchamp drew beautifully
    				Fmaj7
His waterfall would descend 

wetly.
    	       Cmaj7
If Duchamp drew beautifully
    				Fmaj7
His waterfall would descend 

wetly.
    	       Cmaj7
...if Duchamp drew beautifully.
