Re: [microsound] derrida r.i.p.

["tobias c. van Veen" <tobias@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sacrifice .. such a recurrent theme, yet also part of mastery .. the
Xtian/humanist paradigm has always opposed to the two (sacrifice/mastery),
ie one sacrifices to the god, to nation, to sovereignty, in order to master
nature, territory, people, oneself.


Art has something sacrificial to it -- to the future (that one will be
understood not now, but after one's death).

Our debt to JD sonically -- to repay that infinite debt of this death
without return or calculation.

To grant him that space of the future (without mastering it or sacrificing
to it).

The sound of mourning .. but also the _sound of_ "mourning" --

    morning.

    morning recordings:

    record your morning.

    to work through mourning.
