Re: worldbridger

>And Jan definitely gets my vote for Poet Laureate of Looping!

totally agreed!

>(with Matthias running a very close second)

very flattering, thank you. I never thought of myself as being 
poetic, though. Exept for the emails I dont even read anything...
I had a totally scientific education, from my father and at the 
university, but I am not serious in this, nor as a philosopher... its 
some strange combination...

I rarely remember dreams, but two nights ago, I had a rather bad, 
stressy one, where I had to give a speach about my work at a congress 
in Sao Paulo. I was proud to do so, but nevertheless I arrived late 
and unprepared. Even though I had realized there was a scientific 
public I got into praising the phantastic capacities of our hearing 
and magic of music... I suddenly saw the cruxial connection between 
the physical hearing and the understanding of it in form of a huge 
multipin connector and thought I had captured and expressed a big 
truth (improvizing, as always ;-). But when I looked into the public 
again, there was almost no one left... I even went into some 
discussion with the organizer, promessing that next time I would talk 
about pickups and bring some pictures to project, but he turned his 
back on me, and I woke up, feeling bad...
I tried to recapture the secret that I felt and the connector was 
only a symbol for - in vain.
But then a nice picture came to at least ilustrate the tremendous 
capacity of that little organ with just a peace of skin, two less 
than precise bones and a bunch of hair in a irregular cone... I will 
have to elaborate it, and I hope it turns into an opening for some 
speach for a not so scientific public ;-)
