yamamanamaSo, here's something I was wondering about raccoons after seeing their artwork: how good their color perception is. And it's not good, according to a cursory google search. I'm pretty sure they're dichromats, like canids. And since they're nocturnal, they have more rods than cones. They seem to be receptive to green. Maybe that's why there's so much green in their paintings.
The violinist I met last week at Coriolanus thinks another one of my shirts is awesome "I don't know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones," so says Albert Einstein, and also says you hear a lot of interesting stories.
I agree with this sentiment: Bulgarian vocal music is wild.
Especially when the Japanese get involved.
There's not a lot I can actually say about Mozart's works. His best stuff was vocal (operas and cantatas and masses), of course, and I think there's a lot of sameyness to it. That's not to say it isn't good, just all-similar and formalized and cadenced.
So, yeah, concerto for contrabass and radio static. Here's the thing, radio static isn't exactly something you can control.
It would be a sight to see, someone detuning and tuning numbers stations and desperately hoping everything works in the composer's favor.
Or maybe an opera of electronic voice phenomenon, even if it is codswallop. It would be creepy as fuck even if it just an auditory illusion, much like the infinite monkeys and Shakespeare hypothesis.
So Triton is in a way Delany's response to the Dispossessed. Some guy was reading a vintage edition of Triton. It looks a lot like the vintage Dhalgren I have.
I don't think any cover art has ever made me want to read something as this did. And I found it utterly impenetrable when I was fourteen.
Burning Question: So, yeah, what would Mozart think of Debussy and Stravinsky?
