Ambush on Six Sides, Ambush on Six Strings http://www.alansondheim.org/ariaguitar.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/ambush.mp3 There's a classical pipa tune, translated variously, one version, Ambush on Ten Sides. Amazing virtuoso performance! Here, the sides translate into six strings, tuned a fifth low on an Aria classical guitar. They register cacophony, background dissonance - whatever's fingered or barred, comes out against that. There's always a return. There's no metaphor here; strings almost never stay in tune. But there's work involved. What's the point of this? - That almost anything works, not only in a proper context, but also in an improper context. Let's call this "inproper." Then there's always an inproper context, in-propriety, within its dark or other corners, coroners. Coroners after the ambush, corners, where lurks. Everything goes on afterwards, as before. But for a moment there, out of the coroner of the ear... _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
