aaah Radiohead. I've been listening to Kid A and Amnesiac. It's the music I would played on my ipod if I'd been in this situation --alone in an international hotel in Tokyo. It's an emotional response rather than an aesthetic one.
Or being on my own in Canberra doing the standard fortnight gig when Parliament is sitting, wandering around lost in, and alienated from, Walter Burley Griffin's utopia. I search for little pockets to feel at home in.
It's the austerity of the electronic music and the emotional bleakness that expresses the trauma of living in this life in the political machine, searching for some emotional connection, and some affirmation being human whilst experiencing Heidegger's Nothing. All that I have is memory.
