   I don't like Obit. buddy boards, especially if I sense the person's still alive , as I've noticed musicians often are.

   His son wrote some good things. I've noticed many good things , in fact I still want to hear him play guitar , make string arrangements to my songs , and even designed him a shirt.

  I wonder how he got into the Beatles so heavily, even I wanted to drum up funds to buy him a Telefunken microphone so that he could say: Isadora Duncan is a Telefunken - like who was it? Probably John Lennon in Let It Be . I can't watch it again nearwhile

   He did suggest a minimal recording studio with a mock control room window looking into a photo of a world class studio. I imagine instead of people making recordings investing in equipment rivaling Abbey Roads's; to make recordings any which way - no really do your sincere and utmost best - if we're licking each other's down belows we have to learn also to be polite, and then have stereo equipment as good as Abbey Road's , so we can hear our awfulness in all its utmost glory.

  What perhaps made him spectacular is the ability to experience the profound depths and extreme heights and reconcile the two to some consequence. Instantaneous Danté might make a great song, perhaps wearing tight jeans and involving all , or most of them : the italian phrases I know. I don't want him to know about that so I leave off here…

6/17/14 notes on audio engineering

  i hate ou in person , I love you when I'm alone.

   ( the language of insects , in sex , insects , in sex there is there what is there ) 

  Do insects have tongues I don't think so. 

  If every instrument with a pickup or generators is run direct it likely will lead to some semblance of a hermetic environment, especially as there's no naturalness in the reverberation. I disagree: wire and tubes , transformer coils are natural as are rooms containing air.

 It kind of leaves us to our own devices , doesn't it?"Sunk , living into the horror of my own being. I have been able to truly know myself , since I have been able to truly hate myself." Who is that quote from? A Belgian Symbolist I gather. If you know please tell me: I could look it up on the web , the problem being likened to a piano keyboard that produces different animal noises when each key is depressed. I know it might not seem fair to criticise the web so while using it; yet it was designed to be critiqued . One of the problems with The Web , FM Radio , christianity  is that it started out free and open and then someone came along and said: Now we will do this , and others followed suit in the manner of businessmen.

  What we need ; I require and I've heard sentiments that I'm not the only one, is the portal space without distractions.

  A place to hear one's self think. even if the experience is rather disturbing it might jostle loose something learned from within, freeing it in its proper , usable space. Sometimes , though, it's good to be uninterested in one's thoughts , or at least interested in some thing other than what one had decided was thought. It seems to be one goal of the construction of artificial reverberations to make the reverberation tangible , a thing. One has to be discreet , of course; probably one thing meant by the engineers who devised the discreet 4-channel format. I wanted a separate channel for each group member , or radically different textures seemingly behind each speaker, the listener then being able to create a suitable sound environment by moving about. I also am aware now why that hasn't happened very often. I've tried it sometimes people stated I didn't know how to mix a pop record: they are mostly mono with a little stereo like cake icing.

  How the web was good is that it brought to economic consciousness the experiential . We might experience decaying temples of ideas , or ourselves even what is decay even, the coastline was experienced by Koreans or Japanese long ago , yes , it isn't like we just discovered it? Unless a further state of decay qualifies something new.
