Subject / Object

The art of sound must, from time to time, mean sudden realization.

Listening perception engages consciousness; consciousness expands beyond the "self".

Engagement and its Opposite

The reality of the cultural climate is that it is constantly changing.

If the artist is not to be swayed accordingly, it is necessary to remain focused on a singular vision.

Cultural Politics

One would be wise to remember that, ultimately, social groups bring about the culture they deserve.

Motion

Art, among many things, is a perception of experience.

Expression inspires greater experience, evolving in this manner. The joyless pursuit of fame and wealth is a different matter entirely, and for that, audience and artist can be grateful.

Energy

Virtue is a force of good.

In music, the idea of virtue may be problematic. In the case of sound art, the good is self-evident, or it exists not at all.

Supposing

Sounds are interesting when they have a degree of aesthetic appeal and meaning.

When there is a dearth of innovation, what follows is a great deal of "re-imagining", and the status quo is thereby sustained while it yet declines.  Observe music culture as the clearest example, its common patterns and deteriorating archetypes replicated again and again, growing vapid and empty.

It is not repetition, but juxtaposition that possesses intrinsic interest, evoking meaning through renewal of sound and vision.

On / Off

Go listening, hear the surrounding world.

Nothing changes and everything changes.
