Re: [microsound] haunted weather

Autistici - uses and builds on the sounds of the elements in the track
"attaching softness to a shell"  - www.stroem.se - this track seeks to
amplify the musicality of the sounds as well as setting them in the context
of experimental musical and rhythmic flows..... At times the track is pure
recordings (taken from the work of Professor Andrea Polli - who extrapolated
data regarding hurricanes and used this to generate sound).

Just like Damian Hurst - It is all about context - both external and
internal/subjective

As for Cage - there is nothing wrong with revisiting old ideas and questions
and re-evaluating them - it happens all the time in philosophy - Are you
suggesting that Cage and his critics have provided a one and definitive
answer?
