(It's) playing on my nerves (on one's nerves) http://www.alansondheim.org/playingnerves2.jpg ghost play https://youtu.be/kdZvmO7PwHg VIDEO There was, and I remember incorrectly, in Hebrew, when I was in Israel, an expression, "to play on one's nerves" - to get on one's nerves - the verb stem for "play" was the same used for playing music. I began to think of my playing as literally playing the nerves as cords, not chords. When I play in odd and obdurate/impossible circumstances (hurricane, traffic, etc.), I play on nerves extending as an atmospheric skein, or rather - what - the body of the atmosphere, its indefinable borderlines, borderlands - surrounding diffusive effusive interiors but effusive diffusive interiors - the among among - to to speak - play - then resulting in harmonica in high wind and someone yelling from a bridge among - between rather, a high-pressure pneumatic hose screaming its cohering discharge on a city street - form of bracketing surely - what can be done about all of this, since I surely don't know but in any case to record the - Hohner Marine Band harmonica as best I could in the circumstance of interlocution, interlocking with such untoward and wayward atmospherics as to make cohering impossible on my end - not that of the hose of course - I almost wrote "naturally" - this text getting on my nerves, playing on them, run the video, you'll know what I mean, or meant, when I wrote this, always already finished by the time you read this or listen and look to the damn video - ___ (Re: the still image - no idea what is going on here; the faces weren't visible in the window when I took the shot. The photo's not retouched.) ___ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
