Wow, the language and style are sure different
(variable eyebrow heights), but Doyle's comments on
temporal perception as objective/subjective resonate
with something I read yesterday re: audience attitude
towards looping as influencing perceptions of time and
space.

It's cool seeing academia evolve, in this case
applying theoretical analysis to Jimi Hendrix.

Doyle: "Structure is provided by the melodic and
harmonic progress of the through-composed anthem;
performance procedure entails the musician, his
instrument and attendant processing and amplifying
devices in a concert situation; pitch, rhythm, and
harmonic data are encoded in the manipulation of
guitar strings; an underlying pulse is present in
represented metre of the musical text; structure
variables include exposition of text and
improvisations arising from the text; and stylistic
parameters are fulfilled by characteristics of the
instrument used."

Hendrix: Uh, yeah. (Launches into "Crosstown
Traffic"...)
