architecture of apocalypse

"In moving from one language to another - from the apocalyptic
language of the verses to the love lyrics in the chorus - Waits' vocal
performance could be interpreted as a way of drawing attention to his
own delivery, and to the tension between the meaning of words when
spoken/written and their meaning when delivered musically." -- Angela
Jones, "Musical Apocalypse: Tom Waits' Bone Machine"

"This book implicitly urges architects to base their work on the
experiences it will engender rather than on abstract rationales that
may or may not affect viewers and users of architecture. It is about
the architecture of the imagination."

The tone's pitch is tied to tension; it has a bond to the bond, to the
bond's more or less tight tension

"In listening to the lyrics of pop songs we actually hear three things
at once: words, which appear to give songs an independent source of
semantic meaning; rhetoric, words being used in a special, musical
way, a way which draws attention to features and problems of speech;
and voices, words being spoken or sung in human tones which are
themselves "meaningful," signs of persons and personality" -- Frith,
S. Performing Rites: Evaluating Popular Music. Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 1996.

a site where language stops, both for reasons of internal logic and of
social prohibition

* is the site of an intersection, an in-between space, but it is an
unstable site which defies an absolute location or definition.
