Do you remember when it was quiet down here? Do you remember when it was quiet anywhere??? Before the industrialisation, before the factories, before the planes and before the trains and cars and busses. Before The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and punkrock, before MTV, before commercials, before headaches and tinnitus, before inner city fumes and pollution, before the sounds of computers and cash registers.
Noise - silence, relationship in a sinking ship, drags us under and turns us deaf from the roaring of the marketplace. But in secret and in effect there might be a few daring forces using the apparatus available to produce counter sounds, to make so much noise that one day there will be at least a moment of relief. Guided by the mechanism produced during thousands of years and oppression, constructed by the suffering of a million men and women, we must overthrow the relationship between the abuse of noise and the creation of noise and thank the industrialisation for making us amplify our manifestos and enables us to sing and scream and dance.
