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

[Damian Stewart <damian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

How do you get across political messages in music which has no lyrics 
and which has no voice samples?

As I grow younger, more naive, and more idealistic, I'm becoming 
increasingly interested in music as a way of expressing opinion, as a 
way of spreading consciousness about things that don't find their way 
into the media. I'd like to believe I can do this using non-verbal 
music, that is, music with no lyrics and no voice samples (eg, of 
politicians).

Without using liner notes or track titles (because when music is 
transmitted over the internet all you get is the .mp3 file), how does 
one attach clear, unambiguous meaning to non-verbal sound? What are the 
precedents? I imagine there's some punks out there somewhere who are as 
I write experimenting with this stuff but I can't read all the zines 
that exist so I can't hear about them..
