This excess of sound (zao) is pushed out from the world of sound that is created in music – discarded, unwanted but this material is still beautiful to play with and holds such great potential – it is so simple and so complex at the same time. This excess reminds me of thoughts around entropy and expelled heat from combustion engines – what does the governor in an engine do? Into the field of noise can we place Maxwell’s Demon – allow the fast moving particles to separate from those slower one. Do we end up with a field of high frequency and another of low frequency? This experiment does not allow then for the natural order of thermodynamics to occur and thus no entropy occurs – No Zao! No Excess! I’m confused about entropy most of the time and slightly concerned about including it in my research as it leans too much towards the scientific world and I’m not comfortable there.
