1. the haptic fissure and sound

cifteli (you can hear the recorder knocking against the wood).
no effects. rough music; grating; wandering. THIS when you.
backtracking. the low strings as if untuned. they're tuned.
rift in wood and nail. again the labor of it. the closeness to
the body. the rift in the text. the divisions against the grain
of it. an ugly music of touch. touched. might it go on forever.
the text a suit which does not wear. does not wear well. opens
a gap in it. the awkward rhythm of it. or the heeded sound. i
can't imagine any of this. what might be more unplayable. what
falls through, the body knocked against metal but gently. that
what is played that way. for the recording. i am sure of it,
this haptic wood, metal, skin, bone, glue. no more of what it
meant - that catastrophic meaning or meeting. the fissure in
the sound of it, the scrape.

2. the haptic cull and condensation

And electronic writing is always protocol-based and always
dynamic. Keyboard strokes signal interrupts, the screen-image is
constantly refreshed, fonts are interchangeable, links and
animations may be present, the text may be updated by the
original author or modified by others, the text might be deleted
once and for all, or temporarily deleted, or duplicated and
transformed from one to another site, or printed out hardcopy,
or faxed, or entirely transformed into another medium - audio,
steganography, online or offline calligraphy, and so forth. The
text is fluid, inherently non-canonic, every instance is
equivalent to every other, every instance is original and
plagiarism. The text is burdened by apparatus from ebook reader
to desktop, cellphone to electronic billboard. The text requires
maintenance, electrical current, to continue its electronic
presence. The text requires the transparency of protocols to be
present, presented. The text requires an interface from
electronic hardware-software circuitry to visual or other
presentation. The text requires busses or connectors from one
component to another, and from internal electronics to display.
The text also requires data storage, and encoding/decoding as
well as the potential well of checksums and other means ensuring
minimal errors. If the text is transferred from one hardware
medium to another or one file format to another, it requires
interoperability - an interoperability which leaves the surface
of the text relatively inviolate. The text requires data storage
which itself exists within a physical potential well, producing
the semblance of at least momentary stability. The text requires
light or sound or haptic or other sensors. And the text requires
a relatively stable input environment, within which the
interrupts are apparently operating smoothly, transmission is
relatively clear from infractions or appears clear from such,
lag is sufficiently small and the buffer sufficiently large to
give the writer/programmer/artist at least a degree of illusory
autonomy.  requires light or sound or haptic or other sensors.
