Have any early adopters figured out the “cheat codes” yet? The “cheat modes” could be a game changer on this module, depending on what they do. If they just give you infinite lives I think I’ll pass. If they do something useful, like squeeze all the juice out of an oscillator, I think I’ll jump on in.
We have also been told that success in playing this instrument relies on “muscle memory.”
From the OED:
MUSCLE: Any of the bundles, bands, or sheets of contractile tissue which act to produce movement in, or maintain the position of, parts of the human or animal body…
MEMORY: Senses relating to the action or process of commemorating, recollecting, or remembering.
So we need a bundle, band, or sheet to contract while in the process of commemorating something. This sounds like an experimental ‘new music’ score.
I’m going to assume that all of this together means one needs to memorize the “cheat codes” in order to activate the “cheat modes.” Instead of entering data through a game-pad, the player must instead use their body to enter the code.
So W/ encodes the motion of the human body. A “cheat code” a way to unfairly use the system (against itself?). What or who is /W against? Where do I stand in relation to /W if I need to contract my body into an unfair shape? Can I play this instrument at all without compromising my ethics?
These are some ideas I have about /W.
