Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Rod Stasick <>]

Still kind of amazed by how much source text you need for something like this.

Five pages of text here that rewards with only one full name mesostic:

             reJoicing

               sAndhyas sandhyas sandhyas

       encoMpassing

               pEace

                 Sanskrit samdbi

             is Just

    just abOut to

  about to rolYwholyover

              aCts

            thE

I’ve noticed some repetition

of words that happen from the end of one line

to the beginning of the next. I’ve noticed that it

seems to happen when there’s a punctuation mark

(noticeably, a comma) in the text near the mesostring.

I’ll have to look at this in more detail later when I have more time to

use some texts that have already been used (by Cage, for instance).

If you have the time, that’s what I would recommend you do to “test”

what you’ve done. I like it and I see possibilities! Keep on keeping on...

Off to make the kitty food…
