[microsound] A experience with grains.



Hi list,

I thought I´d share this, please disregard if it has no meaning to you.

A few days ago I couldn´t sleep, as I was in the North of the Netherlands
where there is actuall clean air and silence at night I thought I´d sit
outside at the back of the house for a while. Took a lawn-chair and a beer
and waited for the automatic light to turn itself off by not moving too
much. I sat there quietly for half a hour or so and my thoughts drifted to
uses for grains in spatialisation.

After a while there was a short rustle in the bushes to the front of me (a
cat, I thought), a blink of a eye later there was a equally brief rustle in
the bushes diagonally to my back which immediately startled me; there is
something in the animal side of our brain that gets very disturbed when
there are rustles that imply you might be surrounded. Another blink later I
felt three or so drops of rain on my face and was immediately calm again.
That was all of the rain that fell, at least that I detected.

In 10 or 15 or so drops of rain and within one second I went through a whole
range of emotions and gained more then in half a hour of contemplating what
basically amounted to the same thing.

For what it´s worth,
Kas.
