Computer music has a timbre fetish. It explores and obsesses over the subtle nuances of everyday noises: magnified, EQ-ed, and strung together like beads on a necklace.

Lambert is an inclination. A small unassuming tendency we harbor, to do, and to do-in-the-meantime. (While the world turns. And turns.) Our tendency not to wonder – (whatever became of those things, done-in-the-meantime?) – or how they were changed, by the ways they were viewed. Or discarded. Or, how we – in discarding them – as a result, remain unchanged.
