ja... with all this talk of beat-matching, this how-can-i-fit-a-whole-evening-
into-a-rigid-rhythmic-grid business... this isn't dnb. make collages.
leave gaps of silence. "let sounds be themselves..." cage had the idea.
music needn't be presented as a constant onslaught. let it swell and flow
and die.

yes, esp. in cafes and social settings, because the music is best suited to
that ; whether danceable or not, idm is strongest as listening or ambient
music, and therefore would hold a more functional position in a cafe than,
say, dance music, which is not for sitting, or, say, pop music, which is
really not for anything.
sigh.... the clock strikes twelve. merry christmas.... why am i on the
