third gave me some interesting gossip he said he knows who omen is. he used to make 'wonky' and 'uk bass' music, i wont say the producer name cos im not vindictive, but he always hated me for not getting behind it. he blamed me for its failure and held a grudge ever since. a lot of people think... -

Lee introduced me to some people in their 20s and i made them cry without meaning to. just cos of how insecure they are. you state an opinion, eg, dubstep is for nerds and they burst into tears. they're not used to opinions or beleiving in their own perceptions -

something analgous happens when the record is manipulated with the hands and it does move past the blockiness and into a completely different condition that is very true -

four points is a quadrilateral. eight an octagon. keep going and eventually you get a perfect (fluid) circle There's more distribution points filled in, points on the graph plotted -

Time as motion picture vs comic book panel or that strobe lighting effect. the 90s is rhythmically fascinating cos it’s taking that blocky 80s language but giving the dexterity of more fluid forms of music. There's more distribution points filled in, points on the graph plotted Not lego... -

Very much so. So what’s great about the vocal cut ups in 2step, say, is that you’re taking the very fluid language of RnB singing and reconfiguring it into this morse code rhythmic langue. It becomes blocky, geometric. -

my music listening is very informed by the progression between the straight line robotics as the assembly line 80s to the much more articulated robotics of the 90s, in which the graph of possible movement has many more available nodes -

well its obviously a nutcase theory but i get you language is also somewhat jump-cut: it can never be as truly fluid as music or dance but even so there’s a spectrum: not exactly sure where to place them but nietzsche and your autistic mate are at opposite ends i reckon. in a way nietzsche is... -

you are definitely in vitalist territory. matisse had a thing (which related to his understanding of bergson) he thought that when he was drawing a line he was embodying the "elan vital" - the arc of the vital movement of the subject. hence all the drawings of birds/snails/splashes etc -

how music maps a movement of the body, distances to be traversed, velocities and directions of travel this maybe relates to bergson's ideas about zeno's paradox: https://www.rep.routledge.com/articles/biographical/bergson-henri-louis-1859-1941/v-1/sections/bergson-and-zeno vitalist concepts... -

And that the length of time between distribution points matters, for the sense of movement, the difference between a timbaland and a juan Atkins for example Maybe parallels with robotics, and the move to full articulated limbs and range of movement from a geometry of straight lines At one end...
