In answer to your question, Steve..
Music, or muzak as i call it, some of it, warms me like nothing else can. I am not, at the moment, near my collection, but i did find these vinyl pieces about. These records, the hisses and pops and the muzak which seemed blown through a brilliant throat of bronze, warmed me first in the 11th grade. These records, indeed, are flat; and yet, for me, the music contained therein did and does seem to erect spaces of considerable dimensions.

the description of music as evoking dimensions...astute and intriguing
Cool composition.
THE WELL-TEMPERED SYNTHESIZER!!!! Mwahahah! Must be strange... Hope it's not Bach... *glurp* ;O)
MP: There is some Bach on the record, and even earlier stuff like Monteverdi. hehe! sir Walter Carlos [now madam Wendy Carlos] programmed every instrument and every note by hand using the first moog synthesizers in the late sixties and seventies. It is electronic Baroque musik, and some may indeed find it strange...
The tricky part, jozee, was excising the distracting couch on which i quickly erected the House of Muzak.
and here i thought, TMC, that i was going to be accused of bumping my head before speaking!
