pipa, supplant
(please give this a listen.) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/supplant.mp3 (please give this a read.) < finally a pipa solo with some degree of distorted mastery. < all the techniques are new for me, borrowed from hegelung, saz, oud, guitar, cura cumbus. < the speed of the thing disguises the structures, which are - more often than not - only a few seconds long. < i'll do something that seems like a long chorus, find out later that it might be at best a tenth of a minute. < it's true time dilates, but never reverses. < still things are held back, almost to a crawl, i'm usually breathless at the end. < it's over, as if it were, before it began. < listening to this, i have difficulty following it, placing me within the lines which fragment like a particle fan. < each particle tending towards another, splitting, vertices and chains, tunnelings. < and imminent breakdown of energy conservation. < this way i forget where i was and think only of the next few seconds, as if there were an event horizon in permanent recession. < it's thinking in absence, spatial stretches replacing the fictitious linear parsing of time. < or replacing time by its derivatives. < requiring listening, until everything is forgotten. < until everything in the future is forgotten. < and as if the future were a tunneling and forgetting. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
