began the thesis proposal, will finish and hand in tomorrow. watched this video: http://www.ubu.com/film/her_noise.html. i remember ronen going on a year or two ago about the lack of women in noise. he doesn't just want to go to a show, he wants to fall in love. watching vicky open for paper rad at mocad, wondering why she was dressed in workout clothes, realizing she does acrobatics to make noise.

physical engagement with instruments. this is a common complaint of noise, that noise musicians are not physically engaged with their instruments in the same meaningful way as their classical or contemporary counterparts. it's also one of its greatest assets, the ability to play knobs and buttons, immediacy, accessibility. violently throwing yourself around a basement full of friends while your microphone screams moneymurder and you're too into it to remember it happened.



going to pick up the hd form right now. sign up for the certification tomorrow. drawdio came on saturday, film it being put together.

new things to remember:
talk to kelly about how she got to study with steve.
talk to jash and morgan and bennett about cassette tapes. talk to morgan about ritualistic practices, i.e. his pat 452 final.
