CLOSED UP (Hop)

elephants are very big

the art of noise have only just begun

Due to the internal organisation of the musical work, the act of listening to it immobilizes passing time: it catches and unfolds it as one catches and enfolds a cloth flapping in the wind. It follows that by listening to music, and while we are listening to it, we enter a kind of immortality.[1]

CLOSE-UP is dedicated to Kenneth Williams and J.G. Ballard. “Crash on.”

art of noise: played by art of noise

…art of noises, and for which we fight without respite against traditional cowardice [2]

Whether you’re doing the shopping or falling madly in love — The Art Of Noise makes it all just that much more special!

Diversions Two shrank into Close (To The Edit) which now blows over into Close-Up. This is the beauty of the incidental.
