future futile feudal few dialed waves http://www.alansondheim.org/feudile.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/feudile.mp3 "The temporal has three times and therefore essentially never _is_ completely nor is completely in any one of the periods; the eternal _is._ A temporal object can have a multiplicity of varied characteristics; in a certain sense it can be said to have them simultaneously, insofar as in these definite charact- eristics it is that which it is. But reduplication in itself never has a temporal object; as the temporal disappears in time, so it exists only in its characteristics." - Kierkegaard, in Works of Love, trans. Hong and Hong. The _sense_ in Kierkegaard tends towards spirituality; the _sense_ here tends towards the unraveling of scales towards an eternity whose perceived basis drops out, infinitely, in the depths of a time and space. The unraveling of sound, its living, is not this eternity, which is inconceivable and never perceived - yet it is what the music is about, its _concern._ One cannot listen to a concern which may also possess its infinities, its duress, but concern concerns an object, situation, process, habitus; this music, this _sound_ does not. Yet it disappears. Only, I say, by _becoming_ space and time, do we not disappear - do we, in fact, inhabit this music in a profound way which is theory's detour. Only in this way, detouring in fact through the literal _fabrication of files,_ themselves unraveling through protocols and dynamics grind one into the mesh and raster of an everyday life always on the lookout for healing. Healing through suture, boundary, protocol, carapace, domain, already strangles healing; let us call for another healing, and let us not call for an other. Such, here, and hear, is the eternity of this sound, which disappeared in its very making, hence already occupying the thetic of existence and the existence of the thetic: a literal far cry from the digital insertions into the raster that serves as a panoply of ordered graves. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
