Various Artists - “D.I.Y. Electronics for the iPad Generation (40 Minimal Classics from before the age of MIDI)” - ( a Die or DIY? Mixtape # 4) 2013

“It is generally accepted that Rock, in its broadest term, finally died in 1984. The main culprits in this tragic demise have always been accepted as Capitalism, consumer brainwashing, and freely available easy to use technology. The almost criminal acceptance of MIDI as the tool for musical communication killed almost all relevant and exciting music stone dead overnight. […]”

“… how a friend described going to his door and hearing him ‘cursing, howling and singing’ over his new fugue; after a whole hour he at last came to the door, looking as if he had been fighting the devil, and having eaten nothing for 36 hours because his cook and parlour-maid had been away from his rage. That’s the sort of man to be.”

- (Wittgenstein talks about Beethoven.)
from Ray Monk’s ‘Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius’.

“Wee have also Sound-Houses, wher wee practise and demonstrate all Sounds, and their Generation. Wee have Harmonies which you have not, of Quarter-Sounds and lesser Slides of Sounds. Diverse Instruments of Musick likewise to you unknowne, some sweeter than any you have; Together with Bells and Rings that are dainty and sweet. Wee represent Small Sounds as Great and Deepe; Likewise Great Sounds, Extenuate and Sharpe; Wee make diverse Tremblings and Warblings of Sounds, which in their Originall are Entire. Wee represent and imitate all Articulate Sounds and Letters, and the Voices and Notes of Beasts and Birds. Wee have certaine Helps, which sett to the Eare doe further the Hearing greatly. Wee have also diverse Strange and Artificiall Eccho’s, Reflecting the Voice many times, and as it were Tossing it; And some that give back the Voice Lowder then it came, some Shriller, and some Deeper; Yea, some rendring the Voice, Differing in the Letters or Articulate Sound, from that they receyve. Wee have also meanes to convey Sounds in Trunks and Pipes, in strange Lines, and Distances.”

- Francis Bacon, 1624.

What comforts on a cold day?
Wandermüde by Sylvian & Mathieu and Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn.

[…] For days and weeks on end one racks one’s brains to no avail, and,
if asked, one could not say whether one goes on writing purely out
of habit, or a craving for admiration, or because one knows not
how to do anything other, or out of sheer wonderment, despair or
outrage, any more than one could say whether writing renders one
more perspective or more insane. […]
