ok, as they used to say before a certain tv program way back before folks knew there were other tv chanels :
‘and now for something completely different’.
basically, look at your gadget of choice.
today is the 14th of march.
in the uk we would denote this as 14/03.
in the us where things are always a bit different, today is denoted as 03.14.
that in itself is a close approximation of the number known to nerds as pi.
so, here in all its glory, is star of allmusic.com (currently on an enforced hiatus, but tis only a matter of time that they request his services again), pitchfork, the quietus, and ilx of course, is a 45 minute reading of the number pi by the man himself.
for doubters, please think of this as an extension of john cages piece of perfection, 4’33” , or, scanners early intrusive phone call releases.
while i have to admit i would never listen to this on a regular basis, neds voice has a strangely hypnotic appeal.
and surely there are folks out there who do the sampling thing and could make a monster remix out if this ?
the challenge has been set.
