yes. i am just reading village bells, so this brings
to mind role of bells (in this book: france prior to
the revolution) as codings, markers, key aspects of
social time and duration.  On a related note, always
thought you could hear history in how Max Roach plays
certain drum 'phrases' --  how druming was 'deeply'
imbued with powers of the Call  in real
historical/political/social time (a time not without
historical memory, if not at the level of immediate
transparent conciousness).

- How do musical recordings function as markers of
power and codes for
regimenting behavior?

- Can we sample/alter those recordings to create
alternative musical narratives and different codes?

I would love to see a microsound TWiki text project
develop around 
these two questions...any takers?
