The archestra (architecture/orchestra) is the joint accomplishment of music formed in the environment of play and participation. Does the archestra exist independently? Or does it require a Conductor, who twiddles the knobs and presses the buttons? The Conductor is also a player, and by weaving the strands of his sounds into weft of the world the total form of the fabric of the environment becomes present. With what magick is this done? Does the Conductors wand begin to compose the sound/architecture of the environment to its will. It cannot be so complete, rather it is for the conductor to wield his wand as a needle and attempt to thread his wires into the constantly shifting fabric of the sound/architecture. Tim Albro tuned his radio into the static radiation with the placement of feet and toes connecting him bodily to it. His legs the massive coaxial cables feeding his mind the verses of the sound/architecture transferred though heart and mind his fingers went to business, slowly, methodically transmitting his meaning out into the environment. An environment that includes the audiences ears and minds and through those transmission receptions the Conductor employs new instruments. A man in the back sways thus plays the ancient creak of floorboards soundings passing through the structure around us all. And he pauses letting this new player of his devising enter the flow of the archestra.
