Moten: "I always thought that 'the voice' was meant to indicate a kind of genuine, authentic, absolute individuation, which struck me as (a) undesirable and (b) impossible [...] Whereas a 'sound' was really within the midst of this intense engagement with everything: with all the noise that you've ever heard, you struggle somehow to make a difference, so to speak, within that noise"
