I’m reading Pierre Levy’s book ‘Collective Intelligence’ and found this passage, and thought it was worth sharing:

“From singular utterances to creative listening, languages emerge and drift along the stream of communication, borne by thousands of voices that call and respond to one another, take risks, provoke and deceive, hurling words, expressions, and new accents across the abyss of non-sense. In this way an artist can appropriate an expression inherited from earlier generations and help it evolve. This is one of the primary social functions of art: participation in the continuous invention of the languages and signs of a community. But the creator of language is always a community” (Lévy 1997 p.124).

This is the opening music and source of incidental music for a radio drama. The series is based on letter correspondence between 2 brothers one of whom is in prison. The letters form the focus of the dialogue and then there are additional scenes that unveil the truth behind the content of the letters.
