ABSTRACT

Upon presentation of the mix, the one-is-not is made apparent. In our continuing exploration, as producers and academics, we will expand our discourse of the conceptual group The And and their singular composition ‘The Song of a Thousand Songs’. We will take a new line of flight in discussion of the mix, which suffers similar ontological and existential concerns, but we will also keep our feet on the ground and explore a song that we have been involved in at a gritty level. Our aim, if we have one, is to show how different perspectives on the mix as multiple reveal different authenticities, different values and how these are constructed. Most of all, we just want to play between one and many, between idea and audio, between heaven and earth.
