I Just Can't Avoid The Void In Void

The index of speed is also one of morphological clarity. That is—as speed decreases, we gain a better understanding of the object’s shape; as it increases, we gain a better understanding of the motion’s shape. To restore the opposite sides of the index to an equal footing, one must quite denigrate the former in order to attend to the underprivileged latter.

In compostion, some feel that owing to the condition of music (compelling all sounds into speed and active juxtaposition) the sound-object must become privileged as its tangible counterpart would be—deceleration (to the near point of stasis) being the method. On the contrary—I offer that violent acceleration is our only means towards understanding music, and by extension the whole of the real perceptual field, in any progressive fashion. As we approach simultaneity via that heightened velocity, we approach in our perception the simultaneity of all and any demonstrable phenomena.
