I’ve been listening to this sublime new Morton Feldman Trios box set on Another Timbre over the last couple of days. Born 100 years ago this month, Feldman composed music that, when performed, seems to exist halfway between the ephemeral and the infinite. The notes slip in and out of existence in the air around us, and everything ends in mystery.

These performances by Taylor MacLennan and GSBR Duo are an absolute joy to hear. I think if I could listen to the music of only one composer for the rest of my life, it would be Feldman’s.

@sillygwailo

In Zen they say:
If something is boring after
two minutes,
try
it for four.
If still boring,
try it for eight,
sixteen,
thirty-two,
and so on.
Eventually one discovers that it’s not
boring at all
but very interesting.

Survey of Definition and Determination
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/04/06/survey-of-definition-and-determination-2/

In the early 1990s, “in the middle of life's journey” as the saying goes, I returned to grad school in a systems engineering program with the idea of taking a more systems-theoretic approach to my development of Peircean themes, from signs and scientific inquiry to logic and information theory.

Two of the first questions calling for fresh examination were the closely related concepts of definition and determination, not only as Peirce used them in his logic and semiotics but as researchers in areas as diverse as computer science, cybernetics, physics, and systems science would find themselves forced to reconsider the concepts in later years. That led me to collect a sample of texts where Peirce and a few other writers discuss the issues of definition and determination. There are copies of those selections at the following sites.

What follows is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on Definition and Determination, with a focus on the part they play in Peirce's interlinked theories of signs, information, and inquiry. In classical logical traditions the concepts of definition and determination are closely related and their bond acquires all the more force when we view the overarching concept of constraint from an information-theoretic point of view, as Peirce did beginning in the 1860s.

First, it means genuine inquiry does not touch on the inciting action at points of total doubt or absolute certainty. An incident of inquiry does not begin or end in absolute totalities but only in the differential and relative measures which actually occasion its departures and resolutions.

In the Way of Inquiry • Objections to Reflexive Inquiry 7

An episode of inquiry bears the stamp of an interlude — it begins and ends “in medias res” with respect to actions and circumstances neither fixed nor fully known. As easy as it may be to overlook the contingent character of the inquiry process it's just as essential to observe a couple of its consequences —

I hope it’s OK to post about new releases.

I have a new one for #BandcampFriday

‘Untitled Bass Piece no 1’ was written in 2001 specifically for bassist/composer Brent Fariss

It was conceived for any number of performers (including solo) - this version features a 22 minute multitrack realisation of the work.

The subscription includes some bonus tracks.

@disquiet Hallo disquiet Do you have particular pieces that you return to? I own a copy of For Bunita Marcus that I like very much but it’s the only piece I know #mortonFeldman #indeterminacy #piano #sound #silence

I'm re-advertising on Mastodon my translation and comment of passages of Lucretius' "De Rerum Natura", starting with the "Swerve":
http://duplavis.com/the-nature-of-things/swerve

Everything in the Universe is made of atoms, the infinite variety of Nature is produced by random swerves.

Remember when it was not just possible but fairly straightforward to own every Morton Feldman recording? To check my memory, I looked at Discogs.com. There were roughly 15 between 1957 and 1990 (three years after his death). Then the damn broke, and these are loose numbers: 1991(7), 1992 (6), 1993 (4), 1994 (11), and onward. We're just over three years from the centenary of Feldman's birth (January 12, 1926), and presumably there will be a full-on (and entirely welcome) overload.
