2008/05/15 I am now a sound artist and my music can only be heard in person henceforth. However, you can support me by purchasing this shoddy audio documentation. If you buy any mp3s and desire higher quality formats, I will be happy to send them along later free of charge, but please never mistake them for actual music; never adjust the volume once it has been set, never listen to them more than once, and never consider them as you would a property or product.

1/1/8 You will notice that I do not have many new music links. These links all connect to recordings of music, and the more I consider it, I have to conclude that audio documents are bad for my art. They are pale shadows which completely miss the real art of music, and distract from music's value as an impermanent moment in time, a change of energy. I have to wonder about whether music should be recorded at all. I think we've lost something crucial. There is no energy transfer, and for thousands of years, music was ephemeral, meant to happen in a single place and moment. We musicians relinquish some of the elemental components of our art form when we package it. Perhaps recording quality should get worse, not better. Most people have forgotten that those reproductions are a pale shadow of the real thing. I went to an art gallery today, and every piece was a "video documentation of performance art". I found this personally embarrassing; I have been trapped by the limitations of my language into referring to inanimate objects as music, when they are only documentation.
