Scope and Contents

The section on Tom Phillips begins by stating that his work "defies all restrictive notions of style and all bids to establish fixed aesthtic categories...The musical output of Tom Phillips is much more than a side aspect of his activity as a painter in that is lends an original dimension, along experimental lines, to the relation between musician and score...Whenever TP makes artistic use of a notation of a musical instrument, he insinuates an interpretation of both temporal and spacial characte -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents Stephen Balbach (Amazon webite): "Lanham has been a university professor for about 40-years, Yale-educated, English lit and rhetoric. He came of age pre-computer revolution, when writing meant manual type-writers and white-out and transcription. This series of connected essays are his ideas about what the digital revolution means for the future of books, universities and what he calls "the economics of attention" - how the world operates when information is plentiful and the scarce resource are "eyeballs" (attention).

We should do it out of the desire to make the house we live in, which is the whole place, in good working order. Robert Ashley: Its okay to sit in your room and listen to a record over and over again when you're fifteen, but if you do that when you are forty, people think you are crazy. But the funny thing is that we have actually allowed ourselves that free time for television. Yoko Ono: Somehow all the things that come out of me like words or music or whatever seem to be not my doing. It just comes in and I immediately write it down.
