The Politics of Dissonance PDF

March 1997

This article, for want for a better term, is to be laid out much like an abstract composition interspersed with different fonts and sizes, arrows going this way and that, drawings of body parts, bones, muscle tissue, fossils. Use your discretion, or look for inspiration in the scores by John Cage, scores which are more like cubist or futurist art than they do musical compositions.

The idea is to create a collage of phrases, concepts and quotes that can be read like a composition, but individually, according to the discretion of the reader. It can also be read from right to left, top to bottom, on one's head, over the rim of a garden trowel, cut out and rearranged on a fridge or along the edge of a toothpick. It's a generative article, it may be possible to never have it read the same twice.

Published in the second issue of Somesuch, Journal of New Musique Australia, 1997.
