From “The People’s Chronology” on 1966: Electric guitar gains prominence in England, where US rock musician Jimi Hendrix, 23, begins to exploit the full potential of the relatively new instrument. Hendrix uses imagination, virtuosity, invention, and sexual pantomime in his stage appearances”, Bacos came on market, “mod” look, mini skirts, Beatles more popular than Jesus, use of Sitar, Indian culture.

I'm always on the lookout for music in language. While reading a book and I see something that has a musicality to it I’ll try to jot it down or capture it in some way with an app. What's particularly interesting now with voice recognition is that it makes mistakes that create lyric ideas. It's interesting how somebody misinterprets what you say and it can be used in a musical way.

A couple months ago I was watching a German film but there were some English parts in it and I didn't realize that I had voice recognition on and it was transcribing the dialogue. Some examples:

The man God has for me
Show me the settings for visibility
I thought it took another Monday
I enter leaving
The undecipherable chance
