'What if this is the time
the non-negotiable self, the sacred.
The line we already crossed.
Nothing is more real than the wind
in the winter when it cracks the skin and
clenches the throat, when it forces
each frequency.
On the riverbank, it lashes
the floodplains and then it pauses.
You told me about these years
the fatigue, and I do nothing
but ponder over our presence.
Where have we been? What are we
bringing along? History is
a tale within a tale
a series of omissions, hypotheses
and extenuations.
And we may desecrate remembrance
and contaminate our becoming
but the urge to outlast the death
of the sun slams into us.
Massively entrenched the anxiety
to get lost, evolving away from
the main sequence like red giants.
A few decades down the line
we will meet, I will sit down across
from you and I’ll ask once more
do you know my name?'

'E se fosse questo il tempo, il sé
non negoziabile, il sacro.
Il confine ormai oltrepassato.
Nulla è più vero del vento in inverno
quando taglia la pelle e serra
la gola, quando forza le frequenze.
Sull’argine sferza le golene
e poi si arresta.
Mi hai detto della fatica di questi
anni, e non faccio che pensare
alla nostra presenza.
Dove siamo stati? Cosa
ci accompagna? La storia è
un racconto nel racconto
una serie di omissioni, presunzioni
e attenuanti.
E possiamo profanare il ricordo
e contaminare il divenire
ma la foga di sopravvivere allo spegnersi
del sole ci sbatte addosso.
Radicata in modo massivo l’ansia
di perdersi, uscire dalla sequenza
principale come giganti rosse.
Qualche decade più oltre
ci incontreremo, mi sederò
di fronte a te e ti chiederò di nuovo
conosci il mio nome?'

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
