You never know Simon - you might have a Damascus moment...

Wise words, Ob! You can't beat a really good plum.

[ahinton]

You never know Simon - you might have a Damascus moment.....

Those familiar with the location of that town - surely including Simon himself - would surely be forgiven for thinking that such a moment might be a pretty dangerous thing to have as of right now! Assad thought, perhaps, but nevertheless...

[Schrödinger's Cat]

At 0013. Higher and Higher.With bubbles.

My cat was sitting on the sofa next to me when I was listening to CONSTRUCTION last night. She pricked up her ears and appeared to be listening intently at this point - perhaps RB's cat had some input to that section?

You are forgetting your Acts of the Apostles ahinton: the conversion happened on the way to Damascus; not in the city itself.

I'm not forgetting that; would you assume that everything in the reaminder of Syria is fine, then?...

Found the bubbles sound effect on my keyboard on Monday.

i still have not listened, mostly because i have a problem with how long this piece appears to require to hear it .... i mean the Art of Fugue i somewhere arounf 1hr 50m, Beethovens 9 is say 68min .... is this piece and its ambition of a comparable scale or is it just long?

Listen to it one lunchtime. "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."

For me, it is different from the Classics, where you know generally what to expect, and so an hour or two listening is not such a big deal.

In this case, focussing in microscopically on each quantum of music, there is a great deal of novelty and unusual sound experiences. So to maintain a high level of concentration throughout is a big ask.

Bryn however may be more familiar with Barrett's work, in the same way others are familiar with the classics.

It's all in the DNA, Oddball.
