This is my new watchword-- or always has been my new watchword, only I didn't know it.
What it means, if anything, is that when I'm mixing something, the final goal is always some elusive sense of three dimensionality and liveliness that seems impossible to define until you hit upon it-- and then it's very strange when I have to confront the fact that performances that occur in what we casually refer to as the "real world" must always be translated into the "playback world" and these two places are distinct, non-overlapping realms.
If I keep going I'll just tangle myself into knots, so I'll post a sample: these guys are the free-est formest improvi-est jazz guys you'll ever meet-- they take the playing of instruments into a whole new stratosphere, it's like each foray is an attempt to construct a new language, a whole new civilization-- does this "sound like" what went on in the room? Well... in a way yes of course, I mean that's what I started with, but no everyone was not mingled ontop of and throughout each other. Am I going mad, or is this just a naturally perplexing topic? Answer the second question first...

P.S. The group styles themselves "ESP" and this is their "A" incarnation, because Andy was sitting in this time... and to the "song" I gave the somewhat frivolous name "Traffic Jam in the Rainforest."
