i say:
ipse dixit:
a balance between twiddling with tools and the ensuing energy loss must be precisely found. Simple = saving energy for the communicative act itself, not worshipping the binary coders. Creativity happens in unstable autonomous zones.

travelog ambient sound index
sound energy arriving at the body: here's some direct access to the growing catalog of ambient sound samples (mp3 files) collected as neoscenes moves through time and space and other continua. it is a retro-auralative process: there is never contemporaneous time to live abundantly and to document life in the same moment. so, re-creation is left for interstitial moments when in-your-face living can be disrupted, run away from, or otherwise pressed back from the insistent span of consequent sensual input.

[[update: I have shifted the locative sound sampling process entirely over to aporee maps and you can find seperate entries by searching on "neoscenes" or you may go to the tech-no-mad blog under the project/aporee category.]]
