db "Errors, like Straws, upon the Surface flow; He who would search for Pearls must dive below." - Dryden, by way of Addison http://www.alansondheim.org/db04.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/db.mp3 samisen, noise outside http://www.alansondheim.org/db10.jpg -- I woke up in the middle of the night with 95db of noise outside and result of very soft music and very loud outside noise - and our place was noise -- now however i see noise as an _accompaniment_ to my music, the more _interference_ the more i rise to the occasion, the necessity of ensuring the instrumental _presence_ flattened and revived in the midst of unbelievable _chaos_ for which there is no answer but to _succumb_ and internalize a _violence_ which results in the fall of empires but makes for good _listening_ as the _remnants_ of _classicism_ _collapse_ noise - and we all fall down --
