RE: Fungi
y'know my personal vision (which may never be materialised.. working on another loan for big computer.. and if i can't DO IT for lack of.. cultural respect is what money comes down to for me.. i'll take someone else there with words..) is like sounds which play each others parts, one stream is the kick drum for one moment, the next it's playing lead, and the art is weaving all these transformatory sound sin and out of one another.. yeah.. you say 'as if..' because everyone's so hung up on this industrial tehcnology loop creation thing that's going on.. but the truth of the matter is.. it's getting old..
the new art will require the ability to constantly reinvent and transform sounds during a piece.. no mor eset and forget techno tracks.. we've come that far. i reckon the seventies, apparently, were about individuality.. and the eighties often contrasted that individuality starkly with conformity, ie. kraftwerk, mod haircuts.. and the nineties saw us all embrace the new technology as a seething e'ed out mass of unified conformed humanity.. but the NEW thing..
the new thing will be those of us who are strong enough to take what we've got.. this ability to do practically anything with sound.. and take it anywhare.. again, and again.. we've done individuality, went back to conformity.. now we're swinging back the other way, like another sixties, and we need individuals to lead us to the next stage of unabandoned individuality. step up and be the techno progressives or sit down and wish you had innit.
