Songs I will never hear again
One of my favourite pieces of music is not a conventional ‘song’. It’s a piece generated by the the iPhone app RjDj using the Gridskipper scene when the no 242 bus goes over the potholes near Liverpool St station.
Trouble is they’ve now resurface the road. Without the potholes my song is gone, never to be heard again.
I’m increasingly listening to pieces of music generated by machines (or in the case of Ocarina, remotely located humans) such as RjDj and Bloom. There also projects like Forever which creates a song that lasts forever and is continually changing.
With such experiences I’m stuck trying to figure out how I should scrobble my listening of them to last.fm. It’s music I’ve paid attention to, so it should be captured by last.fm but if it’s an unique piece that I am the only person to ever hear, how can this be handled?
