“Meaning is the product of History, not of Nature” — Roland Barthes. We are always standing at the edge of time; we have created within ourselves a convention of duration; we believe in our progress even though all of Nature around us stands still; a historicity is our impossibility; we are the utopia of suppressed meaning. Composed in December 1987 and commissioned by bpNichol during his residency at the Music Gallery. Dedicated to Steve McCaffery. RT
