Working Minds and Philosophy http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/860 (best) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/44forFahey.mp3 solo pipa http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/44forDydo.mp3 solo pipa so the Dydo was the first; afterwards, I trimmed my nails and created the Fahey. both are dedicated to musicians I admire. the Dydo runs furiously across scales, techniques, melodic fragments, looking for bases; in the Fahey, bases are found and there are moments of song, towards the end. in both Mind is heard directly: of that I'm sure, as sure as I am of a form of fingering and hand and arm movement that allow these structures to come forth - what's appearing is a kind of thinking I can only call Philosophy, in any sense of the term, I'd say first terms or terminologies, I'd say simultaneously untoward and abject, simultaneously structured and analytical. it's a different form of listening, a different forum of phenomenological analysis. I write this out of certainty.
