"There was a time in the history of electronic music when it had not yet been integrated into the Western tradition, but stood apart & unabashedly alien to it."

"For me there is also something about knowing that this music was felt and responded to as epoch-defining... Charles Wuorinen's electronic Time's Encomium won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1970, while Morton Subotnick's Silver Apples of the Moon topped the classical charts." --Retromania

"I was busy translating one of my Madrigals Macabre into Martian on the morning I was found acceptable."

Curll the vertical
in winds novel of coinage

moment of expiry · smoke acrid
machete swing · hoür of the strummed pitchfork

feel blood warmth
the pumps churning bilge

catastroika · the spiral jetlag
goes thirsty

pings of last drops on the calmed river · weapon
of choice · a martini with olive

fogged up inside the Civic
chrome armature · eclipse approaches fullness

Curll goes there
as his eyes dampen

"What Zelazny did in 1963 with 'A Rose for Ecclesiastes' was to ignore science, ignore NASA, and write the kind of story about the Mars we really wanted."
