now, all music is light
The other day, I accidentally deleted my entire iTunes folder, at least 40 gigabytes of music I've been collecting over the years is gone. And I feel fine.
In an interview with Bettina Funcke, Peter Sloterdijk (whose trilogy Spheres is tragically not found in English) suggests, in Bookforum, that we live in an age of lightness, "the modern and the postmodern [...] construct a world based on mobilization and easing of burdens. I think it is through the occurrence of abundance in the modern that the heavy has turned into appearance - and the essential now dwells in lightness, in the air, in the atmosphere."
This is comforting. And I'm now 40 gigabytes less weighty than last week, free to branch out and make new audio entanglements, or to use a very German word: Verschränkung (oooooh).

from fundamentally-sound.com:
"Forged by young, talented, and relatively bright men from across the US, we mix it up with genres ranging from classic rock to alternative and, believe it or not, even hip-hop."
wow. now that is cringe-inducing.
