[-empyre-] empyre Digest, Vol 77, Issue 9

[Alan Sondheim]

Hi - I just want to thank people for their responses. There are so many 
channels available! The aural seems relatively simple to use and is a 
great leveller. And it can be incredibly powerful; years ago I wrote about 
Vito Acconci's performances - they almost always were second person, 
addressed to "you,' as a target or seduction. And stereo aural, which is 
also relatively inexpensive, places this "you" inside the listener's head 
- it's intimate, subject not object, world, not bubble. I think even 
vibrate modes have their use - as radiation warnings, for example: don't 
come here! And this doesn't require the phone near the head at all.

On another matter, really liked the maquette at gh*(H) - this image is 
fascinating for its combination of grit and hi tech.

Thank you again, Alan
