What Western music

al forms have be

come is a para

phrase of memory.

But memory could operate otherwise as well.

— desolate, dystopian and highly erotic.

Monks and heretics shift ‘into delirium and

curse softly when bodies are set into motion’

‘slices of time’ that are not incongruous

providing an aperture

on to multiple temporalities,

past and present

‘ruin lust’

The first concern of all music in one way or another is to shatter the indifference of hearing, the callousness of sensibility, to create that moment of solution we call poetry, our rigidity dissolved when we occur reborn

a use of parataxis, and a mixing of genres; a responding “to the m om ent”; a recording

of the experience of writing; and a resistance to closure.

I feel every piece I write has a new form.
