After a day of fretting about hydrogen - despite the golden glow of my lovely yellow flowers. I went out to a concert of electroacoustic music with Kevin at Radio France. This particular concert hall is significant because it is the location of some of the earliest experiments in sound spatialization and the use of speaker orchestras. The concert was interesting not so much because of the music but because it was packed on Valentine's Day evening. There were children, couples of every age and of course a lot of unescorted men. We met a gaggle of Argentinian composers and one Québécois, Martin, who said, "In school we were all forced to learn English and so my pleasure was to learn Spanish with the immigrant workers from Mexico." *love* The conversation at drinks had one of those rare arcs of diversity that makes me more glad than usual to be a nerd.
Jungian archetypes
The possibility of discovering archetypes in musical instruments
The Police (band)
Bad 80's haircuts that make you feel so cool
Writing with breast milk
Reading music which is impossible to write
An unnamed transsexual philosopher performer that collaborated with The Art of Noise
The fun of holding office hours in a leather bar
The french film Irreversible
The difference between a gay bar, a leather bar, an S&M leather bar, and a sex club.
The need to create a typology of such bars to allow for clear communication about where to hold office hours
The difficulty of composers collaborating with visual artists (especially video artists)
The possibility that in order for the collaboration to succeed each of the collaborators must fail just a little bit- thus making room for a third entity to develop
Fun.
