For example, for Anaïs Nin, indicated on page 354, look at page 352; for the film Bells of Atlantis by Ian Hugo, indicated on page 36, turn to page 34.
This will be corrected in the next expanded edition.
“Music (…) is, less than anything, tied to reality. Were it tied to it, it would be without ideology, mechanically, through a hollow sound without association. And yet music, as if by miracle, penetrates to the depths of the soul. What is it in us that resonates to noise, once it has become harmony? And transforms it into a source of extreme voluptuousness that unites us and overwhelms us.” Andreï Tarkovski, Stalker, (1979)
The book comes in 24 different copies, like the 24 frames per second of the running of cinematic images, with as many bookmarks, representing Rudolf Pfenninger’s synthetic sounds, printed on transparent Rhodoïd.
