Re: [microsound] whoopsy
The roll of the market and of the blind-consumption culture is of definite
significance to the corruption of meaning. Although I would rather observe
this from a farther point of view and look at how Language as a medium
interacts with Meaning as the message conducted by that medium.
The jewish bible (The old testament, if you prefer) was, according to
tradition, given to moses on mt. sinai, including on top of the letters and
words, a code system that indicates the proper way to sing the written texts.
The literal translation of that code's name is "Taste".
So, pretty obviously, the people or whoever wrote that thing were conscios of
the way in which Words affect Meanings, and, on the other hand, of the
magical property of Music as a conductor of clear Message.
This brings us back to the discussion of digital materialism.
