The idea is, of course, to disturb the customer's feeling of gravitational attraction by combining at any given moment so many different forms of attraction that his sense of location cannot adjust itself fast enough. -- Paul Hindemith

"Biology also shows us that we can expand our cognitive domain. This arises through a novel experience brought forth through reasoning, through the encounter with a stranger, or, more directly, through an expression of a biological interpersonal congruence that lets us see the other person and open up for him room for existence beside us. This act is called love, or, if we prefer a milder expression, the acceptance of the other person beside us in our daily living. This is the biological foundation of social phenomena: without love, without acceptance of others living beside us there is no social process and, therefore, no humanness. Anything that undermines the acceptance of others, from competency to the possession of truth and on to ideologic certainty, undermines the social process because it undermines the biologic process that generates it. Let us not deceive ourselves: we are not moralizing, we are not preaching love. We are only revealing the fact that, biologically, without love, without acceptance of others, there is no social phenomenon. If we still live together that way, we are living indifference and negation under a pretence of love." --Humberto Maturana, Ph.D and Franciso Verala, Ph.D, THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
You can read or listen to the audio version short story I'm writing, "Down In The Ground" broken up into several Tweets. They're available to read on my Twitter page, http://twitter.com/mr_angel_rosa
I'm sure it's been done, but I was talking with a friend of mine and told him how I thought it would be interesting to write a short fiction piece on Twitter, in real time. Each successive Tweet feeding off the previous. Then it occurred to me, why not also lay down the story in audio format, sort of like an old fashioned radio show; actually, more like a book-on-tape.
Thanks for your time and extra thanks in advance for listening!
Qué tal Aya Peard, ya puedes entrar en myspace y descargarte mi disco LA QUINTA DIMENSION pinchando en el link principal, gracias por la atención y espero que vaya todo bien, un saludo.
Hey Aya: Sorry for my delay. You had asked about my guitar playing. Officially, I'm a hack. :) I have a few slides, but mainly I like to pick out old rock & roll songs and rockabilly rave-ups. Hope this finds you well. Again, I love the music you have crafted. Brilliant work, Girl! -J
