Milo said we need to get used to our own voice.
Milo said “I think therefore I am”. It’s the classic Cartesian phrase, of course, but hearing it expressed so directly somehow felt like a revelation. We were discussing the idea of “reduced listening” in electronic music—how digital soundscapes detach auditory experience from any physical source. I realized that just as Descartes reduced existence to the thinking mind, electronic music reduces sound to a pure listening act. The point isn’t what the sound represents, who made it, or where it originally came from; it’s about engaging with the raw sonic material itself. This perspective not only redefines how I experience music but also encourages me to question the very nature of knowledge and presence. As a listener, I’m no longer a passive receiver but an active mind, shaping the meaning of sound through the simple act of hearing and thinking.
