ABSTRACT
Media establish a space between the origin of a sound and its listener. That space is not linear, as the crow flies; space and relationship are rendered as one, but not a unified one.
The accelerating conquest of space through media is inseparable from the increasing disunity of our place in it, our relationship to it. Space, in other words, is fractured: as a result, music, indeed any mode of address in sound, seems to articulate time but not space, at least not space as we apprehended it before media intervened.
