page 42 note * For Barrett at Darmstadt see Christopher Fox's ‘British Music at Darmstadt, 1982–1992’ in Tempo 186 (Ed.)
page 42 note 1 The choice is typical of Barrett's strategy of margins. Matta was an advocate of th e Fourth International, hence a Trotskyist and as such closely watched by both the FBI and KGB in Greenwich Village during World War II.
page 43 note 2 Barrett invokes in connexion with Earth a kind of surreal folk-music situate in a ‘fourth world’. Sadly economists have already taken up this expression to describe places where, instead of underdevelopment, there is no development at all: Timor, Haiti, the Central African Republic…
page 44 note 3 The name suggests another of Barrett's ‘fictions’. The French Creole writer Edouard Glissant sustains in a recent book that most of what is important today is happening not on the broad continent of life and opinion but out on some distant archipelago or other. Boucourechliev has gone so far as to compose a piece called Anarchipelago – the land of ‘one's own thing’.
