Future of Music, Coalescing
The Motley Fool today:
A less restrained distribution model would move some of the control from the music industry's hands and into the consumer's...I'm thinking "paradigm shift" here -- the end of massive superstars, and the rise of music for the people, by the people, and of the people.
Jacques Attali thirty years ago:
Today, in embryonic form, beyond repetition, lies freedom: more than a new music, a fourth kind of musical practice. It heralds the arrival of new social relations. Music is becoming composition.
I guess this kind of makes up for all that stuff in Noise about death motels, etc.

Homeless and Blue
I've only just gotten around to putting some documentation of a project I did in London last April online: Homeless and Blue, in which I and a partner sent messages to people's mobile phones via Bluetooth as a way of exploring issues around homelessness, public space, and the digital divide.
More pictures related to the project can be found here.
