Re: [microsound] no feelings



I laughed in the recent "Charlie's Angels" movie at the idea that villains with dry-ice mainframes were about to be able to locate people from their cellphone calls, for this has already been done; the really frightening advances - for example, constantly connected PC/GPS/cellphone devices from which one's exact location, one's conversations, and all of the details of one's existence can be extracted without one's knowledge - are far more potentially villianous and soon, I expect, to be ubiquitous. Is the current popularized computer music, then, also an outgrowth from and a critical artifact of the current popular consciousness of technology?

Probably so... and maybe it's also a way people get comfortable with the overwhelming presence of and reliance on technology, acclimatization, so to speak. And once you're used to having technology around you cease to be aware of exactly what it's doing... oh good...


Sorry, was my paranoia showing...?
