[microsound] non-verbal encounters of the 3rd kind...

[graham miller <grahammiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

last scene in the movie...

light and sound used to communicate to the little aliens... (cue john
williams 5 note melodic motif)

who would have thought that the intergalactic language would turn out to
be synthesis...

the aliens seem to have no problem understanding major scales:)

i always loved that idea in the film, although i find it highly suspect
that the aliens prefer western harmony...

now that i'm thinking about, isn't tabla music written out as words, as
opposed to notes? and aren't the tabla drum patterns themselves used to
communicate specific narratives?

"this means something..." weird al.
