"I kept thinking of a passage in Schonberg...where the author...points out that it is 'the imperfection of our senses that drives us to those compromises through which we achieve order. Such order is however not demanded by the object but by the subject.'... human beings ('our senses') have become obstacles to aesthetic production because of their 'imperfection'. A little crazy, indeed: but if you decide to compose not-for-our-senes, the strangest new worlds suddenly become imaginable. And for better or worse, this is what modernism did."
