anti-retinal



interesting repsonses...some quite emotional...
imo: music should allow the listener to participate in the production of
meaning...I have no interest in manipulating people's emotions via music
(film composers are paid to do this) or particularly care for music that
attempts to manipulate my emotions (it's a narrow bandwidth mode of
"listening")...
a calculus textbook is a good example of an object that contains a certain
transcendental beauty but which can be different things to people depending
on how they're looking at it...I prefer music which generates different
ideas as it changes contexts...
