newnoise508: it's so complicated
rahulitoo: he composed an infinite loop whose scale changes at the end of every loop

rahulitoo: looks more like noise
newnoise508: it's like you need 5 hands to play
rahulitoo: haa haa
newnoise508: really, his fugues are wild
newnoise508: like 4 different melodies all happening simultaneously
rahulitoo: i know, i am looking at it
rahulitoo: yeah totally
rahulitoo: th1/16 step pitch changes are currently driving me bananas
newnoise508: haha

newnoise508: the "penelope" episode
newnoise508: one of the most famous excerpts of any work ever
rahulitoo: haa haa
rahulitoo: yes
newnoise508: you know how many sentences are in it?
rahulitoo: no clue i read it in high schoo
newnoise508: 8
newnoise508: it's 60 pages long, and contains only 8 sentences
rahulitoo: haa haa, i think a bit excessive
rahulitoo: but brilliant
newnoise508: im ready for it
newnoise508: today is the biggest day of the year
newnoise508: i have my fantasy draft at 10

newnoise508: me and molly til 2 am probably
newnoise508: im ready for it
rahulitoo: rock on
newnoise508: im nervous about whats going to happen when im done
newnoise508: last night i almost had a breakdown because i wanted to know whether or not john coltrane read it
newnoise508: because i was explaining to my friend that james joyce and john coltrane did very similar things to their respective arts
newnoise508: by just demolishing what had been established as the artistic ideal
rahulitoo: haa haa yeah
newnoise508: and then i was reading ulysses later and i found two references while bloom and dedalus were talking about physics
rahulitoo: haa haa
rahulitoo: awesome
newnoise508: to leo and interstellar space - coltrane has an album called interstellar space and then only song not named after a planet is a sng called leo
newnoise508: and i threw my book down and left the room and thought i was gonna go insane
rahulitoo: haa haa, good one
rahulitoo: that happened to me with my mom and my best friend
rahulitoo: when two ppl tell you the same thing
rahulitoo: yet comletely unrelated
rahulitoo: i thought i was going bananas
newnoise508: no this is the thing though i think they are very related
newnoise508: i think john coltrane read ulysses
newnoise508: or at least knew about it
rahulitoo: in what way, thought processes?
newnoise508: yeah stream of consciousness is just jazz on paper
rahulitoo: well i believe he would have had to
rahulitoo: i see, John coltraine modelled the album on the book
newnoise508: i dont know if he modelled the album on the book but i think jazz improvisation and literary and artistic innovation borrowed from one another in the 20th century
newnoise508: and as soon as i started thinking about this this morning at 1:30 i went online and started looking in to it and somebody has already written a book about this idea
rahulitoo: haa ha
rahulitoo: sorry to hear
newnoise508: but anyway i gotta go to the store then eat then finish preparing for the draft
newnoise508: it's alright, i'll read it
rahulitoo: haa haa, good luck
newnoise508: thanks
newnoise508: ill cya man
And I forgot to tell him that both Coltrane and Joyce really believed that what they were doing was elevating art to a height that it had never before achieved - when John Coltrane did an album wholly without chord changes he named it Ascension...and the first words spoken in Ulysses are the Latin words "Introibo ad altare Dei" - "I will go unto the altar of God."
