My beloved is #ReadingAloud the #JohnVarley novel #RollingThunder to me. It's a favourite past time where I get read to while I prepare meals. We've just gotten to the part where the protagonist has made #ElectronicMusic played against the sped up synchronous tone sequences made by some curious artefacts.
Friends, I think this may be a reference to a form of proto #BonkWave or #NotBonkWave as it sounds very much like what happens when I hear #Benjolin and #TuringMachine sequences and try to harmonise with it. It could also be #SpaceJazz.
Just read that John Varley, who I've long considered my favourite sci-fi author, died a few days ago. His early output - the Gaea trilogy and early Eight Worlds stuff, up to and including Steel Beach (1992) - was incredible. He wrote slowly after that, but it was all quite good.
If you have never read Varley, give him a shot.
