Thinking through the gaps

I have taken up another practice during the past few weeks. Listening to online radio . I had tried many times before and had sided with popular opinion that it really required a high speed internet connection. Then I started to explore the idea of simultaneous tracks of spoken word when I realized the gaps were so important to communication. That recognition lead to me to understand that sharing bandwidth caused gaps in transmission that carried its own texture to an audio performance. In fact I am listening to a discussion by Mackey of Tuck and Roll - Show 13 at this moment along with a sythetic voice of the following:

From Hear to Modernity

Conduits of sound
tangled patterns, knotted wires
braided copper cables
Low bandwidth carriers
straining against a wireless revolution
waging air wars
against tested tradition
4 digits + prefix = 7
WHY-O949
Come 11
1-800-why-KNOT
hidden by a magnetic attraction
Maxwell’s right hand rule
Made clear
Do you hear me?




Do you hear me?

Think you way through the gaps, it is part of the performance that is environment dependent although it may seem random it is connected. Slower is gooder.
