     I think it would be sad if music wasnt being "written" just because
    it is performative... and the word performative can still include
    "composition" in it's make up... improvisation is not a prerequisite
    for the performative act... also the performative moment can be seen
    from a distant viewpoint... for example a particular time and
    culture....  so the use of language and composition plays into the
    music...  I am using the word performance from a linguistic sense so
    probably I am getting confusing...... ... maybe our minds are just not moving fast enough to compose and perform at the same time...not yet anyways... haha... but what i meant is that I always get sad when I think about a really good piece of music dying away from our awareness... but that thought is based on a mentality that songs and compositions are "results" of a long process... this mentality is coming from a consumer mentality... meaning eventually the songs are going to be out of date and eaten up or thrown away... but if they are seen as the process the songs always continue on... and the author is more or less unimportant. if making music as well as listening to music is seen as a process... like peeling of skin... musician can rid themselves of the industry... does anyone get this??
