-//In the bedroom next to the architect table (40 years ago, a friend was cleaning up a house and the owner, the writer Hugo Claus, wanted to get rid of it, the pedal to raise the desk doesn't work anymore and one day all the oil ran out) there is a box full of notes, from the last months only. The notes are moslty written on old envelopes, the backs of receipts, commercial flyers they still drop in the mailbox (for instance when they are selling chicken in the village). In the attic there are many more boxes, full of notes from the last 40 years. Many boxes disappeared. That happens when you are moving across Europe too much and too far. What is left, including the box next to Claus' table, will probably never be read. Today we are having apps to make notes, on phones, tablets and computers. Much easier to combine with pictures, recordings, spoken and sung by others, or just sound happening around, plans and schemes, drawings, etc and now I became a writer like everyone just endlessly and at every moment of the day creating data //

-   Maybe the only way to understand creativity is to link it to the imagination, a possibility to structure predictions, change this dynamically and forget it all selectively when or because it is not needed anymore. Both sex drive (humans as poseurs) and archive (persistence to impress) as well as media (the aesthetics of communication) can play a role, while importance is relative. Hey Darwin, maybe here is your missing link between survival strategies and beauty as randomness?

+. **The Last Art**
-Ik heb het gevoel dat we er langzaam vanaf geraken van de kunst, het heeft lang genoeg geduurd lijkt het wel, en verwordt toch al tot enerzijds wat decoratie (design en illustratie) of deel van een vrijetijdsuitstapje naar dit museum of die gallerij (bezigheid en gewoonte), begeleid door een wat 1-liners heen en weer op sociale media... ?
+   there is this feeling that art is over, done
+   it has been enough and was around for too long
+   especially last century it became clear that no one knew what new to do anymore
+   these days what else remains than some mere decorative objects
+   integrating fast with design and illustration
+   then there is enough in museums and galleries that allow for
+   the leisure and fun of a one day visit
+   to send to friends and unknowns some one liners about on social media
+   with an occasional vertical picture from the phone

+. **Let's Play**
-Tot nu toe was klank en muziek een zaak van mensen onder elkaar. Het domineren van de omgeving, van klein  rondom tot de hele ruimte van de aardse dampkring. Het uitblokkeren van alle andere(n). Laren we het veranderen, omdraaien en vanaf nu enkel klank en muziek maken in de structuur van de omgeving en conform met de rijkheid van het omringende bio- en geogeluid. Gewoon luisteren en meevolgen. Van field recording naar field recoding.
-Ook met mensen die niet weten hoe anders te spelen..
+   till now sound and music was considered a matter of humans among one another
+   part of the competition of domination of an environment
+   from just around till a magistral vision of the whole earth
+   the immediate atmosphere, to block one another but also entirely
+   what is considered life, biotics and abiotica, and soon including biologics
+   (as we learned a new word from the USA military indicating extraterrestrials)
+   let's change it fundamentally and from now on only make music
+   within the structure of the surroundings but conform to the rich existing patterns
+   of bio and geosound phenomena: just listen and dig in, accompany, never go solo
+   let's play, also with the ones who don't know how to play
+   recoding has to happen in the first place from within ourselves
+   and remember always that there is no way back
+. **Introspection**
+   maybe there is no believing in the right/wrong explanation
+   maybe morality doesn't exist (wondering for 40 years about it already)
+   maybe we are just afraid of admitting we are no one and nothing
+   to be stuck in the boredom of being alive without a purpose
+   like all other bío and abio
+   maybe that's the thing that drives us to senseless killing
+   music, humanitarian aid, broadcasting, pollution, affection, and more
+   who will tell
+. **Borders in cultural attitudes, the manufacturing of Metaphysics**
+   also don't write about:
+     * historical Christianity and Puritanism as a cultural outcome, following the solar border through Europe
+     * eko-anarchism and the centralized state, autonomy and submission
+     * forgiveness, punishment and the production of guilt
+     * political diversity, historical tax system remnants, social care
+     * metastasis or the production of cells, the creation of bodies till societies, to escape and be part of
+. **Storytelling**
+   the others were getting impatient
+   they seemed lost in his kaleidoscopes and meandering details
+   they wanted a fact, a target, a straight line, a point

+. **The Physics of Rainfall**
+   there is a difference between the sound of raindrops falling on roof tiles
+   window panes and uncountable leaves, soil or uneven stones
+   and its ever-changing hissing, while its delicate smells linger on
+   how to measure raindrop size and rainfall rate, its direction
+   how to weigh the mass of a single raindrop (0.004mg to 300mg)
+   and how to estimate its speed (9.8m/s to 13m/s)
+   where does it come from, really from 2000m high?

+   pitter-patter, slosh, splash, splosh
+   splatter, sputter, swoosh, or tinkle
+   this is the end of listening
+. **Creativity is so weird but nothing special**
+   Read all about it: **Pareidolia** is the tendency for perception
+   to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus
+   usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning
+   where there is none
+   Also the **Kahlbaum's syndrome** is a catatonic symptom
+   characterized by continuous and purposeless rhythmic repetition
+   of words and sentences that are meaningless or insignificant
+   (also echolalia)
+. **To forgive and to forget**
+   Forgiveness becomes obsolete
+   When you understand the other
+   Even an apology is not needed
+   When you can see the changes
+   And understand
+   Forgotten that
+   After 20 years and more
+   Of distance
+   There would not be
+   Alienation
+. **XXI Rurality**
+   leaving the cities behind, one has to be prepared for the emptiness
+   while it needs time to adjust to its richness and beauty, meantime
+   as an artist you become part of a kind of minority, excluded forgotten
+   while returning to the city for any reason becomes after a couple of days
+   sort of unbearable, so you return to be surrounded by the isolated others
+   (the fate of humans: not to be able to communicate with other species)
+. **Characters**
+   While travelling
+     * woman with dog (c'mon Eddy, she said)
+     * nun with a baseball cap (reading and having an internal monologue)
+     * Franz und Manfred (repeating one another, with gradual changes in the conversation)
+     * older woman with the irregular sounding cracking telephone (Nordhausen! Crkrcjkrc! Beep!)
+     * spanish mother and daughter (describing a passerby saying immer blöde immer blöde)
+     * a man in a wheelchair fainting (hanging in my arms and helped by an asian girl)
+     * two men on the rolling stairs in the metro (going through my pockets and stealing my library card)

+   it happened some years ago and don't know how

+   in general fed up with society's fixation on preservation
+   and control, with a constantly decreasing dynamism
+   instead of a new climate of laissez faire, and openness
+   but, then it has nothing to do with the accident
+   and we don't have to remake Marinetti's car crash
+   and never write any manifesto any more
+. **Where are the ideologies?**
-.
+   maybe political divisions as we see them emerge throughout the world
-Travelling Characters:
+   are not to be understood in old ideological terms like right vs. left
-- Woman with dog (c'mon Eddy)
+   maybe these are new expressions of dynamical pragmatic visions
-- nun with baseball cap (internal monologue)
+   attempting to control the distribution of power, industrial resources, media, etc
-- Franz und Manfred (repeating one another, gradual changes in conversation)
+   and align them with the new constructions of mythological etnicity and nationalism?
-- older woman with the irregular sounding cracking telephone (Nordhausen! Crkrcjkrc! Beep!)
-- Spanish mother and daughter (immer blöde immer blöde)
+   they can only be satisfactory of all of them are in the middle,
