註釋"This Song Book is an attempt to speak to the absences, the radical removal of context in a Cagean aesthetic, and to contextualize the fullness of desire, of that form of knowing so vital to Julius [Eastman] that points beyond the present and challenges the inscribed normative protocols towards the non-normative, the deviant, and the experimental. A longing grasped at the edges made porous. In speaking to the voluminous gait of Julius, I anthologize and scramble the residues that help me to make sense of his life and his challenge to the adherence of instructions, bucking a certain programmability. Instead, I want to consider the direction of his desire as he navigated across New York in search of a horizon beyond the present. What is the residue of his own queer calculus about where to go, who to meet, and how to make home? (17) What networks of encounter were built at a time when the fraying of the city’s social fabric was expedited through neat ledgers and specious equations? The compiled texts ranging from sound studies, Black studies, geography, and computer science bring us a textured reconsideration of a life that operates from a different code. The impossible calculus of desire that fosters the literal space for a different genre of computation. (18) To engage the flesh and the materiality of Julius, his body, his movements, the ephemera of old lovers’ lofts, dim lit corners of dance floors, and the hushed tones of “vicious sissies."
