Actually, Most Things I Say In Public

The Western Musical Canon Came About Not Merely By Accumulation, But By Opposition And Subversion, Both To The Ruling Powers On Whom Composers Depended For Their Livelihoods And To Other Musics.

It Is Still True That It Is Easier To Compose A Poem In The Form Of A Manual For Adjusting A Vcr Than It Is To Write A Piece Using Just Tuning As A Symphony.

Hence My Obstinate Emphasis On Stylistic Continuity From Work To Work Rather Than Specific Sibling Relationships Between The Individual Work And Other Members Of Its Stylistic 'family' In The World Outside.

The Idea Of 'machine Assemblage' Is, Especially, Very Alien To My Sensibility, Since It Suggests A Relative Indifference Of The Strata To One Another During The Process Of Construction.
