ideas for things like a music piece that would play itself out for hours and only fragments of it would be recorded — and this splits into a couple of paths — one would be a random thing that would never repeat — and what wasn’t recorded would be lost (lost) forever (forever) (take some works out and put them aside — another concept to be thought about — (I write things like this and later have no idea what I had ‘in mind’ —) (the idea is to pull words out that are questionable or raise questions etc — an extension of Derrida’s erasure — (I can never remember the other philosopher’s name — I keep thinking Heiremberg or Heidelberg)) pulling things out of context — some other context aside or in the margins
content)


the other line would be defined and repeatable (finite I guess) — but this brings up the problem of the sound generating equipment — of the ‘score’ etc — something like a minimal piece that would be scored for many hours and then just a fraction or part of it would be ‘played’ for a given ‘piece’ — for example minutes 150 — 190 — all the possibilities of different sound generating devices etc

I should work on these meta music ideas
