Band Members: Dr Jhelli & Mr Gescheit -- guest musicians welcome (we ain't got no guitars).
Influences: crashzendo will probably be remembered not so much for their own music as for their beliefs that chance plays as much a role in music as premeditated design and the democratic ideal that anyone can participate. —John Cage—
Sounds Like: Alan Watts (1915-1973), who said that lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. he also said that the only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. And that no one's mouth is big enough to utter the whole thing. And that trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth. According to Watts, no one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve in quality as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing it is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them. So we try to just just play the music as it comes.What is an author, a composer? Who owns your words and images, your soundscapes? What does our cybernetic future portend for notions of intellectual freedom and intellectual property when nearly universal information will be universally accessible? It even strikes to the heart of knotty philosophical questions such as: How does a text or a song represent truth? What is inspiration? Creativity? Originality? Privacy?
