-hypertext and sci-fi
-the sound of the future
-the impact of electricity on experimental music
-”we embrace a particular section of things that don’t fit into other things well”
-Enya
-the shift in who makes experimental music from visual artists to musically trained artists
-the pressure of Sydney
-delay-core
-experimental music as outsourced-meditation
-being responsive as a measure of performing
-I refer to this song – www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I5TC74zQCg
-covers of experimental musicians
-the sound that comes from bodies and the sounds that bodies need
-”eye-glaze” as an alternate name for experimental music
