G.F.P. by Vietgrove (1992)

We conclude our eight-day journey through Great Britain where it first began: in Newcastle upon Tyne with the English Sagegazer Norman Fay, working under the name Vietgrove. In 1992, Fay recorded the cassette G.F.P. (The Garden of Forking Paths), its title borrowed from Borges’ vision of a labyrinth where every possibility unfolds simultaneously. For Fay the image resonated with the deeper geometry of the Patchoulilight. The number eight - the measure of our journey - was not merely a count of days but a symbol long associated with return: a loop that folds back upon itself, like the figure of the ouroboros or the sideways infinity that mathematicians would later recognize in its shape. The beginning therefore could not be separated from the end. Each path taken only revealed that the traveler had already arrived at the place from which he had set out. . . . The Garden of Forking Paths translated this insight into sound. Listening to the cassette gave the strange impression that the music was simultaneously concluding and commencing, as though the Blue Crystal guiding Fay had revealed that every ending was merely a hinge opening onto another beginning. In the Sagegazer understanding, this was the quiet wisdom of the eighth cycle: the recognition that the journey never truly departs from its origin, but continually discovers it again from a new direction. . . . The Sagegazer knows that the path which appears to end is only the place where the circle becomes apparent. 0:00 Begin Meadow 7:58 Lost 12:46 The Pool in the Zone 22:07 The Garden of Forking Paths 41:28 Excerpt B
