... don't have really much in common do they? actually i bought a book last week - "raimond queneau - exercises de style" and i have to say that i'm mega-impressed.
on the first page of the book you have a story that's really uninteresting, even boring about some guy sitting in a bus. it's just a few lines long.
but then, on every of the next pages you have exactly the same history, but written with another technique. so you have for example the same history told by one person, then another person tells it. afterwards you have the same history told like a poem etc...
so you read the same history 99 times!
it rocks - one of the most funny things i ever read. a pity it's so short!
when i searched the internet after "queneau" afterwards i found something quite interesting - actually he wanted to write that book after he listened to some fuga of bach, which consisted of the same loop played over and over again just with a few differences in tempo, articulation etc. he wanted to see if something like this is possible to do with literature.
and i have to say that it does! reading the book is like listening to music. it's like you would use one melody, loop it endless and just add some effects to it.
actually - i'm so impressed that i really want to make a track about it - will be hell of work because some things will be just to difficult to explain - but i hope that maybe in a few years i will be finished :D

Oh i'm sure your track would be great ! =) Interesting story. It reminds me of the movie "Rashomon" by Kurosawa, that i watched yesterday night. The same story told by 4 different persons. Very good film.

correction: perhaps you have, and have noticed that the hymns are based on biblical scriptures. that is all.

for your information, my avatar is more than a year old. if youd been paying attention youd know qrter is making a forlorn attempt at being as cool as me.
