inverting amplitudes foregrounds body and operational instrument
sounds; these are the last of the pieces which treat bodywork as
fundamental to music, the body presencing; the usual focus of an
instrument, proper sounds, almost a shell or manifold across
flesh and breath. i haven't made work like this before, interior
and exterior exchanged in an incredible sonic mapping tending
towards possibilities (at least for me) of new modes of sound
and musical philosophy.! i'm including viola and shakuhachi urls
from yesterday, similar setups, hoping you'll listen.
