Cortázar's book reminds me of Ornette Coleman’s harmolodic theory in that any chapter can transition into any other chapter. Cortázar himself suggests two possible chapter sequences. Chapter 34 alternates line by line between two of Horacio’s interior voices. One inner voice reads the text of a novel his companion La Maga has left lying around the flat, while the other excoriates that novel’s use of “prefabricated words to transmit superannuated ideas.” music composed and arranged by Bill Noertker and performed by Noertker's Moxie Annelise Zamula - alto saxophone Theo Padouvas - cornet Bill Noertker - contrabass Jason Levis - drums © 2016, William Noertker (Deuh Jauh Music BMI) all rights reserved recorded live to 2-track by Karen Stackpole Stray Dog Recording Services 7 June 2015 at the SIMM New Music Series in San Francisco CA Mastered by Myles Boisen at the Headless Buddha Mastering Lab on 25 July 2016  |
