Future Speed Future 8 http://www.alansondheim.org/mtl282.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/fastpipa.mp3 Chinese Pipa, around 1980 http://www.alansondheim.org/fastguitar.mp3 1949 Di Giorgio Guitar http://www.alansondheim.org/mtl281.jpg from an online discussion with Sandy Baldwin - "i keep thinking of a future that has always already occurred, that is pulling the past into itself, that traps us within the pull, the pool so to speak/play. and how it might be possible to get lost in a sound that at least for me changes so rapidly that i have to follow several strands at once, then finding myself stuttered or ruptured within the musical throw of it. it's not to set a speed record or play flight of the bumblebee but to venture into sonic territories at high speed, to remember them while flying by, to be in other words dismissed by them while other modalities, configurations open themselves up. it churns and for a moment in real time, earth time, a plateau opens up of nothing but sonic objects that are ultimately transparent, benign, that ultimately are a refuge no matter how evanescent they seem to be."

And I see ahead of me and behind me and to the left and the right of me. I do not see beneath my feet. Beneath my feet is a planet. I do not see the planet . If I drill down from my feet Down and down and down it becomes unbearable. I am lost on an alien world. I have no idea where I am. My feet grind me into a planet that is unknown. that is larger than me. That is enormous. That has no relation to my body. That has no relation to this sound. that has no relation to any sound. My feet grind me on ground me. there are waves of rock around me. is are there are things on the surface. The things on the surface Are meaningless. no that is not true. I do not know the things on the surface. I cannot fathom them. Some of them move. Some of them seem to be hot Or hotter than I am. I do not understand temperature. I do not understand what is this heat. I do not understand what is cold and why there is cold. Why is there cold. Some seem to be ground down also to where I am ground period or nearby. I do not know them. I do not know why I am saying this period I am standing here. I am standing here. I am standing here. There is nothing but my stands Tethered to a planet. Tethered to a broken horizon like my broken teeth. If I fall I will fall on these teeth. If I fall I will fall on these teeth . *hearing speed i will fall on these things. i fall fall on these teeth. when i hear i will fall. i am cold now. i am really cold. my feet are on the ground. i am really really cold. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
