"My hope is to embark on a musical journey; not in song, mind you, but by exploring the textural space that lay behind this powerful, emotive prose; and like so many glimmerings in the mind's eye, capture that which is ever-changing, but still."

Billy is, as ever, kneeling before his mound of electronics. If he's listening to the book, he's doing a good job of hiding it. If he's only pretending to be totally flummoxed by his DSP4000, his MAQ 16/3, his TAPCO 4400, et cetera et cetera, he's doing a masterful job.
Followup quote of the article:
"Another quick thing, despite the howls of protest, I plan on doing this every few months."
"I've reached out to the Kerouac estate about doing On the Road. Any questions before we disassemble?"
