ah well it certainly had a tiresome effect on you Kim, because the analysis
is very tired, no ? Not to sound offending, but I was just reading Pauline
Oliveros replying to a question dealing with "profund/deep listening" to
sound itself without any regard to the source. and I must say that I agree
with her replying that "Attention to source gets in the way, because if you
are busy trying to identify everything you are not listening anymore, you are
categorizing...".
I do not want to start another endless thread about "confield" but does it
deserve such a description ?!
