So, I think of a single Terrabyte for my work.
The idea of making it one long work that uses
40 years of pieces dropped inside at various points.
One of the things that I've learned and've appreciated
during my studies with Stockhausen over these past few years
is this idea of one large work (his "Licht - 29 hours long)
as a ground by which various smaller solo or group ensemble
pieces can be extracted for performance.
In my case, it's somewhat the reverse where individual pieces are
interlaced into a whole that constantly/consistently grows.
Need a solo 29 minute work?
OK, let me play the part of the Metzgermeister
and just slice some off for you.
Would you like that wrapped?
LOL, this can be cool. Say, Stockhausen's "Gessamte Werken" in a
(well, a couple at least) of Lacie USB drives. Or a single USB stick,
if you only want one record.
Reminds of the amount of 78's it took to record a full opera back
when 78's were the way to go.
It also makes distribution easier - get FTP access, stream it, or...
send the artist/label a hard drive and have it returned with all the
stuff you have ordered.
So maybe, in this sense, an appropriate way to prepare a Fluxbox
nowadays would be to turn it into a Fluxdrive...
Yup, I'm in for it.
