Physical sound media is being rapidly and purposely manipulated toward total extinction.
My pieces are created with due consideration given to the eighty minute formats, but are designed to be heard as segments of a single, unified work and listening process that informs the listener's internal and external experience of sound. Certainly this is compatible with the streaming media model, and time constraints are of no concern. At issue is not the process of creation, but that of its reproduction, out of which matters of intellectual property and artists' rights are at stake, along with the existential value of the art of sound.
It is not necessary to be degreed in behavioral sciences to comprehend the object of rendering all physical formats obsolete, as that is the outcome of making music ubiquitously accessible without the need of manufacture and distribution outside the digital domain. And if, as is clearly the case, it is presumed that the music consumer is indifferent to the source, origin, and concrete existence of the "product", the artist as a free human being is a nonessential factor, even an obstacle, to the process. All that is needed is any subject who will acquiesce to manipulation of image for absolute control of the commodity to established and made permanent, and this scenario is already in place.
Consider all that has come before, understanding that very little, if any of it, will ever again exist.
