Atro Nöteē's Author's Note: DEEP clicking A.N.::Nöteē,Atro::8/8::DEEPclicking |

DEEP clicking has nothing to do with depth. DEEP clicking is a repetition that produces differences in entensity with each click.
When a jazz musician performs an improvised solo, they will sometimes lock into a musical phrase that they repeat over and over again. When a jazz musician locks into a repeated musical phrase, they perform an entensified repetition. A DEEP clicking.
With every repetition of the musical phrase—even if the phrase is repeated in exactly the same way—the phrase entensifies. And following in suit, the audience entensifies as well. The audience does not know if this iteration of the motif will be the final repetition, nor does the phrase itself know, and perhaps not even the musician knows. If they are operating DEEP in the improvisatory zone, each permutation is as freshly and uniquely experienced to them as it is to their audience. When will the repetition end and the solo pick the melody back up? Will this instance be the last iteration? Or might this repetition go on forever? And if this repetition does end, will it return back to the melody, delivering resolution, or will it lead to other additional surprises, deferring resolution to some remote point in the future? We simply do not know. All we know is what we have in this present moment and what has previously come to pass. The anticipation of this open ended future is what causes entensification to build. It is what causes variation to emerge from repetition.
So too, when a solo internet explorer clicks on a link that brings her to the biographical information of Molly Ringwald (or information about the first primate in space, or a data chart that tells her the relative movement speeds of our tectonic plates) she is with each click offered additional links to click. This chain of links will set her on a particular DEEP clicking journey—a line of flight—where every click may be the last click that delivers what she is looking for, what she has always been looking for, but what will ultimately never show up.
