But seriously, what the hell is 'time-is-now' about?  Huh

I'm thinking of that bit in the Eleven Pools of Darkness scene of Ferneyhough's Shadowtime (I think it's the exchange with Einstein): 'What's the time NOW?'

I never thought of that one, although there is an intentional Walter Benjamin reference in my name*, cohabiting comfortably with the speaking-clock reference and the contemporary-music reference.

*look up Jetztzeit in a Benjamin glossary if you're interested (and if such a thing as a Benjamin glossary exists!)


So now you have it, martle. Smiley

I have a French horn in my basement, as well as a 6-month supply of freeze dried chicken noodle soup.

...after escaping from her confinement she told police how she had been force-fed chicken noodle soup through a French horn...

...those who survived the holocaust were an eclectic bunch, paramilitary paranoiacs, forward-thinking academics, and a French horn player with a murderous aversion to chicken noodle soup...

...the team excavating the ruins discovered an intriguing ritual burial chamber, the deceased equipped for the journey into the afterlife with a French horn and a large quantity of chicken noodle soup...
