Astute passengers, who have persevered with following this erratic flight may have noticed that there are some changes in the appearance of the cabin. The title appears to have expanded to include the words 21c Art of Fugue and the tag line terms have altered. Gone the initial tone-row of ‘Inflight notes - dreams & future visions - SOSs - UFOs - meal requests - light laughter - other noises from the cabin.’ To be replaced by the tone-row on this page. A touch of colour suggestive of heavenly realms has also appeared in the background. Yes, we are now flying high at a cruising height of 32,000 feet...so sit back, relax and enjoy the flight...
Variations may be expected from Time to time. This is a flight in the fugue modality of digital writing. Puzzling signs...the tumbling words before your eyes, transforming fruits of 14 years, research into a figure of reinvention with intriguingly paradoxical musical and psychological meanings... Deriving from Latin, fuga, (flight), Fugue is a pre modern, dialogic, musical 'round' for many voices playing infinite variations on the themes; in psychology, fugue is a journey of dissociation, a wandering loss of awareness of self-identity...what links each seemingly contradictory meaning is the reinvention of the subject in-flight.
14 years!!! Sounds like a vocation... what’s the appeal of such a hermetic pursuit? Well, it’s not so much because your humble narrator and flight attendant, ever set out to be an eternal student in the university of life; more that, once on this flight of writing and new technology, it’s impossible to leave...The very mutability and flexibilty of the fugal modality of writing shows its reflexive dynamism, as it continually changes, making it impossible to let go, although I don’t know where this flight is heading, and when or if it will ever end.
