Core proposition
The corpus repeatedly treats a work as something that can be rendered differently by page, browser, voice, body, object, reader, recording, performance or later archive. “There is a way that I am seeing this text — it is not the way that you will see this text” and “I cannot fully potentiate in a sole dimension” are especially clear formulations in No Music On.
LTAP
Let the Alpine Play exists simultaneously as a sixteen-track recording, lyric set, Owner’s Manual, web/release sequence, physical object, live repertoire and network of phrases inside prose. None is merely a thumbnail of a single “real” version; each renders a different functional surface of the project.
Consequences
- Reception becomes editing rather than passive recovery of one authorized view.
- Cross-medium recurrence can preserve identity while changing function.
- The archive should document renderings and relations rather than declare one terminal manifestation.
