[silence] Cage and Oulipo?

[Kraig Grady]

Tangentially speaking....
Oulipo methods borders on those used in Cryptography, (methods i have 
employed ), and there is a long standing tradition of various codes  
used by composers, most often with letter names.
What better in this age of homeland (in)security and paranoia, might 
randomness be a method to conceal and hide meaning as much as possible.
 What energy emerges when all energy is buried as deeply as possible?
This seems to be the antithesis of what Cage was going for. or not i am 
not sure

If the dead could speak might they be of such a language?

Death is not
in not being able to communicate
 but in not longer being able to be understood. -Pasolini

 There is a difference in that we can choose it, while they have no 
choice in the matter.
What would they choose?
They might revel in clarity, yet desiring still to contribute
