The X Quantities

From Brain Pickings. Rules for life by John Cage.

To Music

Music: breathing of statues. Perhaps:
silence of paintings. You language where all language
ends. You time
standing vertically on the motion of mortal hearts.

Feelings for whom? O you the transformation
of feelings into what? -: into audible landscape.
You stranger : music. You heart-space
grown out of us. The deepest space in us,
which, rising above us, forces its way out, -
holy departure:
when the innermost point in us stands
outside, as the most practiced distance, as the other
side of the air:
pure,
boundless,
no longer habitable.

- Rilke

Brilliant Noise

Here is a look at the data vaults of solar astronomy. After sifting through thousands of computer files, made accessible via open access archives, Semiconductor has brought together some of the sun's unseen moments. These images in their raw form, reveal the energetic particles and solar wind as a rain of white noise.Most of the imagery has been collected as single snapshots containing additional information, by satellites which are re-organised to create time-lapse sequences. The soundtrack highlights the hidden forces at play upon the solar surface, by directly translating areas of intensity within the image brightness into layers of audio manipulation and radio frequencies.More here.

Structure of Feeling

"the distilled residue of the organization of the lived experience of a community over and above the institutional and ideological organization of the society"
