Sounds Like: ON ELECTRONIC MUSIC:The essence of electronic music is its disassociation with the natural world. Hearing is a "distance" sense, as opposed to the "proximal" senses of touch and taste. Listening engages the intellect and imagination to interpret what is heard, providing "only indirect knowledge of what matters--requiring interpretations from knowledge and assumptions, so you can read meaning into the object world." Having little basis in the object world, electronic music becomes the pulse of an intimate and personal reality for the listener. Its source is mysterious. "It is thought, imagined and engraved in memory. It's a music of memory." In these ways, the human being becomes the living modulator of the machine product, the circuitry dissolves into the spirit of humanness that envelops it.
