I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN WITH THIS!! (Or, to put it another way: "embodied enacts the re-embodiment of situated cognition and our sensorimotor experience of music as described by Vijay Iyer, a way of experiencing music that has been devalued in binaries of 'high' and 'low' art. Because of its engagement with popular style and with the physicality of dance, it exists in opposition to the abstract, language-based, phallogocentric models of musical meaning that have been dominant in the discourse within and about modernist music. Additionally, the unresolvable tension between the sounds from the boom box and the sounds from the flute and guitar, as well as dualities between electronic sounds and recorded 'real' sounds of clay and glass objects that foreground their earthiness, are themselves suggestive of these binaries and of the ever-present gap between our idea of a thing and the thing itself for which Derrida coined the term différance.")
