"The recording process became part of the music" - e.g. when Michael Snow whistled into a microphone or put a microphone on top of his piano with the recording volume way past its proper maximum...
The dense text which covers all the faces of the record-sleeve is set in smaller and smaller type and is a reflection on the record, recording and its "documentary" qualities, on text and image and music, and it is a dialogue with the reader. " The following should be read aloud or sung", it says at one point and at another "maybe this is better as "image" than as literature".
