Interview with Bhob Rainey of Nmperign:
Music does. It seeks out the gaps in our habitual minds, or it puts the guards to sleep (something else for which Hermes is famous). Or it kills them. Then it weaves a charming and suggestive lie that makes us want to change the order of the cosmos so that these sounds might have a prominent place in it (Elaine Scarry believes that a basic, primal reaction to beauty is to want to replicate it or preserve it). Music has its own volatile ethics that confront our givens and ask us to be supple and intelligent in unprescribed ways. Within and beyond that, it gives us pleasure.
