Some notes on music from www.soundworker.net

"Sound organises the space and marks the territory, creates a space of comfort, a home base. Firstly, the child comforting or orienting itself in the dark with a repeated tune, or clapping its hands, or skipping between the cracks of the pavement. Secondly the home dweller or worker whistling or singing their familiar tralala, or maybe in the company of the radio or television. Thirdly a song also enables us to launch forth from the home it helped us to build. One ventures from home on the thread of a tune. With a song in our hearts we are able to extend indefinitely the secure interiority of the home; it is as though we take home with us wherever we go. The song is our future, a future of our own dreaming."
