I'm figuring out how to organize and build an onramp to the musical facets of my life, as a part of the /lifebox Project, with the idea that there's a huge and complex amount of potential Legacy ...some of which is sound files (mostly mp3, mostly collected since 2005) that I don't propose to make distributable on the web, but want to create hard drive/desktop access to for ...posterity.
And there's
On the current Home Page at oook.info are links to
/60th/musics.html and the 5 albums with Daniel

"people are the music that they listen to" (mp3)
Music is the soundtrack to human activity from birth to death.
(Andrew Orlowski)
...I brought virtually no context to the record. I simply took it home, put it on, and had my life changed.
I heard a sound I'd never heard before, but which, for some reason, I connected to.
It was what Herman Melville called the shock of recognition
--and for me that shock has always been
the realization that you have recognized something nothing could have led you to expect to recognize.
The question turns out not to be what-makes-the-music-great,
but why you recognized its greatness when, all things considered,
you shouldn't have understood it at all, or even stumbled upon it in the first place...
(Greil Marcus, from "When you walk in the room", in The Dustbin of History [E169.04 .M365 1995], pg. 144)
The soundscape of the world is changing... Noise pollution is now a world problem.
It would seem that the world soundscape has reached an apex of vulgarity in our time,
and many experts have predicted universal deafness as the ultimate consequence
unless the problem can be brought quickly under control.
(R. Murray Schafer, in The Tuning of the World [ML3805 .S3], pg. 3)
