Here is another of the sacred/profane contraries that TRP presents to Oed. The bar patrons create “live” electronic music as if it were a jazz jam session with everyone joining in with their axe or using some of the gear in house. It also reminds me of Henry Adams’ dynamo v. virgin especially the description of the St. Louis worlds fair and the glass of the various churches in France that he surveys.
Using man-made/profane materials to create sacred/sublime or the dynamos powering the lights in St. Louis that Adams can’t convince anyone to see. The glass that the tourists ignore or rapidly survey and move on.
In solidarity,
James
