Maryanne Amacher : February 25, 1938 - October 22, 2009

When played at the right sound level, which is quite high and exciting, the tones in this music will cause your ears to act as neurophonic instruments that emit sounds that will seem to be issuing directly from your head

... (my audiences) discover they are producing a tonal dimension of the music which interacts melodically, rhythmically, and spatially with the tones in the room. Tones 'dance' in the immediate space of their body, around them like a sonic wrap, cascade inside ears, and out to space in front of their eyes

... Do not be alarmed! Your ears are not behaving strange or being damaged!

... these virtual tones are a natural and very real physical aspect of auditory perception, similar to the fusing of two images resulting in a third three dimensional image in binocular perception

... I want to release this music which is produced by the listener ...

Mama says, when you kiss my lips

I'll get a thrill through my fingertips

Yeah-yeah. (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)

Hey-hey (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)

Hey-hey (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)

Hey! (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)

Please say you do (Shot-shoo-bop, bop)

I wander up and down love’s highway

Forever searching every byway

For tender words you may throw my way

I’m a beggar in love

Teach your eyes to look out

Teach your ears to hear

Walk up to the corner

Where the coast is clear

& wait

& wait

Until you've seen

That light go green

Mercedes Sosa

Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad,

¿qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?

Una voz antigua de viento y de sal

Te requiebra el alma y la está llevando

Y te vas hacia allá como en sueños

Dormida, Alfonsina, vestida de mar

Alfonsina Y El Mar

When the day is done

Down to earth then sinks the sun

Along with everything that was lost and won

When the day is done

Nick Drake - Day Is Done
