dan moi http://www.alansondheim.org/danmoi.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/danmoi.jpg not dan moi A dan moi from a maker (I was told "by the side of the road") in Viet Nam; it's undecorated and somewhat skewed for the bass fundamental it produces. Its incredibly soft sound works brilliantly for a form of improvisation that emphasizes breath, breathing, something from the heart. I like to think of the Apple Store as from the heart, almost unbearably so, definitely overbearingly so. I like to think of the dan moi maker and his instruments against the pristine deeply sterile beauty of the entrapped protocols of the Apple empire. I like to think that the sound of the dan moi and this dan moi in particular cuts through everything in that other world; after all, it's sound, not sight, or rather primarily sound and just enough surface (including the thin wooden case) to spark a movement towards grace in the world. this world, not the other world +++ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
