[microsound] 'that's edutainment'

[davidgriffin at rogers.com]

Still, your finger is on the value of art, and the 
perceptions of the artist (who else would describe an enjoyment of Marx) as a 
form of resistance -- its not the same as 'speaking out' but it could be just as 
dangerous...

The distance from ideology to sound seems like a rather long leap 
to my eyes at times (with the piece featuring sounds from Iraq being a notable 
exception, one which I wasn't brave enough to listen to...)

I guess I'm 
personally interested more in the sounds than the ideas. Perhaps that is my 
deficit. I have been enjoying the recent Marxist banter, but fear I won't find 
the time to follow up on any of it anytime soon (whereas I'll be more likely to 
act on suggestions of new ways of forming sounds much sooner). 

What I am 
expressing is probably my loss, but it is truth.
