listening to 'different trains' by steve reich...still in awe...

just realised that the last thing i recorded could be described as if steve reich liked hip-hop beats and used punk guitar, fretless bass, ebow, paper-clips and slapped thighs...

i need to start perfoming live...

dont know how i will play 20 things at once though yet...
Found this written in one of my old notebooks:

"There is the Rule. There is the exception. The Rule is Culture. Culture is a question of Rules. It is part of the rules.

Exception is a question of Art. It is part of Art.

Everyone speaks the Rule: cigarettes, computers, t-shirts, television, tourism, war...

No one speaks....

No one speaks the exception. Everyone speaks the Rule. No one speaks the exception. It cannot be spoken.

It can be written: Flaubert, Dostoyevsky

It can be composed: Gershwin, Mozart

It can be painted: Cezanne, Vermeer

It can be filmed: Antonioni, Vigo

or it can be lived, and it is thus called the Art of living: Srebrenica. Mostar, Sarajevo.

It is part of the Rule to want the death of the exception. It is the rule of European Culture to organize the death of the art of living which was still florishing at our feet. "
