i think there is a major difference in the potential for creating=20
electronically produced music betweeen digital and analog media=2E =20
maybe it is easier to integrate abstract ideas like waveform, ratio,=20
equation, frequency, etc into sound due to the basic discrete or=20
discontinous nature of digital media and the kind of variations or edits=20=
(or visually displayed information addressing sound) that are now=20
possible (or just feasible to work with)=2E we have the tools to experime=
nt=20
in a "sonically tactile" way with ideas like "perfect sine wave" at=20
frequency 440 hz at 60 % of maximum volume output=2E a computer=20
recieves, computes, sends, and stores numbers=2E numeric=20
relationships (mathematics) have a universal quality (in any solar=20
system, even if the space does curve between here and there) that will=20
never change for as long as time as we know it exists=2E a single=20
number can be imagined by itself in a thought for a moment, but that=20
thought will come after the last thought and before the
next thougt=2E everything that can be sensed occupies duration in time o=
f=20
volume in space therefore a part of something else and therefore=20
temporary=2E i belive in perfection as a goal to potentially be approaced=
=20
like "nothing" or "silence" or the way the curve of x-squared approaches=20=
the quality of a vertical line but never actually becomes one, and that=20=
approach will change something about yourself, or something you=20
intend to create in the image of the type of perfection you imagine=2E =20=
there is a range between completely not perfect and unattainbly perfect=20=
to work with=2E it comes down to where your imagination wants to take=20
you with what it has available and the element of chance and discovery,=20=
whether that be pushing buttons and turning knobs at a computer, =20
tapping out a rhythmn on the bedposts of a prison cell, or singing to=20
yourself while doing your families laundry in your local river=2E nothing=

lasts forever and everything changes, maybe a perfect arrangement for=20
some=2E sorry to
anyone who had to roll their eyes at any of that very square response-=20=
maybe somebody could put a deleuzian spin on the electronic=20
perfection question? B=2EW=2EO?=20
