Re: [microsound] being 'political' in non-verbal music

 "There is no outside."  

which is very often accompanied by the contention that
there is nothing "inside"--namely that my own pysche
is constructed by culture etc. but what do we really
know? i prefer to say it is possible to reconstruct
myself. i also prefer to say there might be messages
out there we do not yet understand. how do we tune
into frequencies that might be out of our range (ah,
which dimension/vector of range, eh?)

this is to me a sign of moving in the right direction!
some decades ago when we were all getting
"post-modern" i hit upon the formula "why is it that
when i have explained myself clearly to you that i
still remain incomprehensible to myself?" back then i
was describing my sense of alienation from critical
discourse. but really i had stumbled into a kind of
cave or cave-painting of myself. there is finally
always something that resists expression that remains
outside saying, that resembles in it's silence before
our questioning what is either a great gift given by
no one or a pointless curse wired through mattter
itself. 

is lyotard's cave any different than plato's? the
legende of er?

in a strange way, language itself can be a lot like
serialism.
