Music is governed by time. Both culturally and ontologically. You are governed by time in the same way. Music isn’t an object. It has no mass but the medium through which it’s conveyed. You are an object. You have mass and you have media through which you convey yourself. Here in lies the problem.
You and music are incompatible. What’s the solution to this? You are an object. And music is nothing. You are the medium through which nothing flows. What’s happening right now? The music you’ve already heard isn’t anything anymore. You look for what is contemporary. And the second you find it, it becomes history. You search again. For a fleeting object that never existed.
Music is nothing and contemporary is nothing. That is what’s happening right now: Contemporary Music: zero multiplied by zero. Keep your headphones on. Keep an eye out for something new. Dissolve into oblivion.
