i saw the piece above at the recent cca (california college of arts) industrial design and furniture graduate show...this was the one piece that i couldn't keep my eyes off...it's by yvonne mouser and she writes about it: "the persistent flux of time is most visible at the intersection of order and chaos, where moments of reality and memory collide unexpectedly. from this transitional space, creativity emerges from questions and inconsistencies between events."

there is a word for the "in-between" as it refers to space...the japanese term for it is "ma", another idea that applies is "picnoleptic"...it's about knowing the before and the after, but not the middle...and it's about how we cushion this by creating events that link the two together...almost synaptically. i've been trying to listen to the space in-between sounds lately...so listening to the quiet, the pause, rather than the filler...the figure-ground of sound.

...:::...i also meant to add, i read on geeta's blog (just to continue the deferral), "I just read "Imperfect Sound" a fascinating, well-written article on music, dynamic range compression, and audiophilia (or lack thereof) by Nick Southall in Stylus, which I caught from a link on Blissblog."
