321.
From the future to the past.
123…Remember the last time you ran in a park? The sound of a branch cracking bellow your foot? Those amorphous shapes created by Nature – they fit so well on your wall, the trophies from the past. Precious as porcelain. Resin is your porcelain, Soylent – mother’s milk.
Elevator music accompanies your rhythmic moves on the running track. Sounds attached to words, words attached to titles. Ray Kurzweil’s sonic imagination about the future inscribed in the K-2000 synthesizer series. Move with the Technology 1, Martian Subway. Drone Harmonics sounds ominous today, Organic – anecdotal. Move to post-organic, transcend it with your Nikes and protein cocktails.
