BareAttention A4 Overwrite by Steve Piccolo

"I've never been only interested in the sounds of words. I always think of the meanings of whatever linguistic units I include as being at least as important as their sounds, whether they be separated speech sounds, syllables, words, word fragments, phrases, sentence fragments, or sentences -even when they are not ordered by normative syntax and have no fixed accumulative or total meaning. Whenever a human voice produces a sound, it carries meaning- emotive and/or semantic, simple or complex. And I think this i also true of letters and other graphics symbols."

Jackson Mac Low

Non sono mai stato interessato solo ai suoni delle parole. Penso sempre che i significati di qualsiasi unità linguistica che includo siano importanti almeno quanto i suoni, fossero suoni isolati d'eloquio, sillabe, parole, frammenti di parole, frammenti di frasi, frasi complete -anche quando non sono organizzate ed ordinate dalla sintassi normativa e non hanno alcun significato stabilito, fisso e cumulativo. Ogni volta che una voce umana produce un suono, trasmette un significato emotivo e/o semantico, semplice o complesso. E questo vale anche per le lettere e altri simboli grafici.
