speaking of "post" - I have encountered this problem with describing

requires of language to become more abstract, more poetic.

generally: we can "describe" whatever "microsound" is / in relation to 
_this_ list / in words exchanged from music, digitalia, derrida / and 
are writing or speaking circles around and through the work we see and 
hear

the possibility of "concreteness" in discourse?

(how to answer the question "what kind of music is this?" in "real" 
words?)


in this way, the entire scope of our media is continually being 
generated, not only in the media/music/art itself, but in our discourse 
and the moment of speech/writing, in "concrete" forms (recordable 
media, typed language) becoming ephemeral through evolving discourse 
and a sort of "indescribable" between language and experience.

(phew.  enough.)
