It’s gotta be either still, quiet sounds or ‘extreme’ noise, right? The high-art equivalent of asking if you’re the Smart Asian or the Partying Asian.

As far as European Experimentalists are concerned, Asians, and Asian arts, exist to lend legitimacy to Eurological discourses, practices and self-conceptions.

And as Asian artists, are we stupid and desperate enough to go along with this? *sigh*
