symbioidljPart of you is like a robot. But part of you is alive, like a growing thing, a tree or a plant...
The young man continues to smile, his face drifting above his body toward the mandala painted on the ceiling. Well? he asks. Do you think that might be a good poetic shorthand: that part of me is mechanical, like a robot, and part of me is organic, like a rosebush? And what's the difference between the mechanical and the organic? Isn't a rosebush a kind of machine used by the DNA code to produce more rosebushes?
No, Joe says. Everything is mechanical, but people are different a cat has a grace that we've lost or partly lost.
- From "The Illuminatus Trilogy", The Eye in the Pyramid, Book One, The Third Trip, or Binah.

THIS is exactly what I feel about my music and what my ideal expression of music is. The synthesis between organic and electronic. Mechanical and biological. This partly has to do with the synthesis of Yin-Yang or Yab-Yum. The divine Shiva and Shakti, Feminine and Masculine, Mother Earth and Father Sky.
This is also why I love autechre so much. They represent this sort of merging of electronic and organic. They also seem to have a sort of chaos about them(especially their newer work)
I am really digging the Illuminatus Trilogy. I'm almost near the end of "book one"(not the actual first book, which is actually, The Eye in the Pyramid), but the first part of the real first book. It's definitely going to be a very intersting mind-fuck. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!
Love Y'all! :)
