The Anechoic Opera Synopsis

[Bill Jarboe <billjarboe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list members;


   I found this while I was scanning some images today and although I know
it isn't going to make you like me any better, offer me high paying jobs and
so forth I'm showing it to the list since I said I'd show it to you if I
found it( I'm peculiar that way . . ).

   -enough blathering , give me some meat , I hear (some of) you say. . .



                        THE ANECHOIC OPERA

   
                            SYNOPSIS

 SCENE 1

  
         THE WORLD IS CREATED   A HERO AWAKENS AND IMMEDIATLEY KILLS
HIMSELF.

     
        HE FINDS OUT  THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED MUCH LATER BECAUSE HE IS DEAD.

HE FINDS OUT HE IS DEAD WHILE PRETENDING TO BE ALIVE. IN THE EARLY <DEAD>

 YEARS WHILE SURROUNDED BY BEINGS MOST OF HIS THOUGHTS MOVEMENTS AND

 UTTERANCES WERE REACTIONS TO THOSE AROUND HIM/ SOMETIMES HE WOULD DARE

 SOMETHING <LIVE> AND THEY THREATENED TO KILL HIM  (AT THAT POINT HE DIDN'T

 KNOW HE WAS DEAD SO THE THREATS STILL HAD MEANING).


        LATER ON ,ON HIS OWN ,HE FINDS HIMSELF FREE OF OTHERS TO REACT TO

 AND HIS SURROUNDINGS BECOME MUCH MORE CLEAR.


        IN PLACE OF REACTING TO THOSE WHO ARE NO LONGER  AROUND HIM <      >

  HOWEVER , HE FINDS HIMSELF IMITATING THOSE SAME BEINGS ,USING THEM AS

 MODELS FOR SPEECH , MOVEMENT , AND IMAGINING THOUGHTS THAT CONNECTED AND

 PROCEEDED FROM THE DISPARATE AND APPARENT FACETS OF PERSONALITY ; IN OTHER

 WORDS EVERYTHING THAT MADE ANY SENSE.


        AT THIS POINT HE KNOWS THAT NO ONE CAN KILL HIM FOR DARING TO BE

 ALIVE AND THE"PROBLEM" IS HOW TO CREATE HIS OWN MODEL < NON-REDUNDANT ,

 ANECHOIC , NOT IMITATIVE OR REACTIONARY> PERHAPS AN EXISTING MODEL WOULD

 WORK JUST AS WELL (IS*IT*REALLY*POSSIBLE*TO CREATE*ANYTHING*?).

 AT ANY RATE ,MAKING HIS OWN MODEL WILL FACILITATE RECOGNIZING THE TRUE

 MODEL WHEN HE'LL SEE IT.


        HE IS PRETENDING TO BE ALIVE QUITE WELL AT THIS POINT AND COMING TO

 A FRESH UNDERSTANDING OF A LOT OF THINGS:

 HIS SPEECH IS ABSURD SINCE IT SELDOM MATCHES HIS APPEARANCE , GESTURES OR

 THE WAY HE CARRIES HIMSELF (HE IS MORE CONVINCING IF HE KEEPS HIS MOUTH

 SHUT). HOWEVER ,USUALLY HE CAN RECOGNIZE WHO HE IS IMITATING .SOMETIMES

 RECOGNITION IS NOT SO EASY SINCE THERE IS A SYNTHESIS INVOLVED  ONE VOCAL

 FORMANT MODULATING ANOTHER / THE ATTACK OF ANNUNCIATION OF SOMEBODY

 FOLLOWED BY THE PHRASING OF ANOTHER/ SOMETIMES A VIRTUAL CHOIR OF MNEMONIC

 RESPONSES INTERACTING WITH ONE ANOTHER VERY COMPLEXLY WITHIN MILLISECONDS

 WHICH MAY BE MODULATED BY AN UNEXPECTED SOUND ENVELOPE RESULTING IN  WILDLY

 VARYING DYNAMIC TRATMENT CAUSED BY DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF MOVEMENT ,

 BREATHING, MUSCLE TENSION AND BRAND NEW THOUGHT PROCESSES BEING ALLOWED TO

 INTERFERE WITH JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.


 ENOUGH SITTING STILL , NOW HE MUST LEARN HOW TO TAME A LIVE MODEL  AT FIRST

 TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MOVING PARTS.
