Who cares if you listen?

Well, frankly, I do.

I'm here to show you what's been done, how, and why as frankly as possible.  I know I can't make you care about art or technology.  If I said embodied cognition I think you'd squirm.  But I will make you listen. Because if music is our golden thread, then new is the sound we make plucking it.  Cut it and we're dead- this is about new music.

"Who Cares if You Listen?", Milton Babbit, High Fidelity, Feb. 1958
