| To get an idea of what I'm about as a person, read Paul Grant's poem about me. It's called SAILCAT. Paul's a great poet, and I hope that someday I might get more of his work published here. I figure now that blogging is passé, I should get into it. I hope this blog will be of some interest to all. I've been keeping a blog called The Warwick Press. (Note: that blog is basically dead. Please read Early-Warning, which died in December 2006. ) To read any of my works, just click on its title. If you
wish to re-publish them in any form, including email, contact me
for permission. I'm generous and don't bite. Very much. Usually. CreativeSynth Articles I used to write a column at CreativeSynth called SPARK. Those articles are now available below. I have now named my blog "SPARK" in honour of that column, as to continue in its spirit. I've re-edited them a bit, making them more worthwhile a read. The last sections on the Lifecycles of Cultural Commodities was a lecture I gave at the Refrains Conference in Vancouver Canada, in October 2001. I think the points in it still stand, but aren't properly applied. I think that the scope isn't merely a style of music, but music itself as it has come to exist in this age of Mechanical Reproduction. |

Permanent Contemporary I see our present cultural condition evolving into a new condition that I believe has deep and long lasting importance. I call this condition the Permanent Contemporary. I haven't had much of a chance to really flesh the ideas out much, and this document is a bit of a hodge podge thrown together so I can get the ideas out into whatever passes for a noosphere these days. Suffice to say, the condition, if done well, could be a major advancement in human culture. However, given that it is appearing at a time of global hegemony of the corporate state, I have a deep suspicion that it will be used to no porpoerly good end, and will prove to be more temporary than permanent, and a future that never was.
