I like this writing, very synaesthetic:

Peel another layer of skin off the Great Onion of Deeply Held Musical Centrisms. I’ll see your Rockism and raise you a Pop Teleologism, whereby musical value is assumed to derive from artists’ intentions, purposes, ends, and other human-faced things that go bump-and-crunk in the night; and there is the stuff psi takes aim at. A shadowy Brooklyn noise trio whose membership consists of three hermetic improvisers masquerading as three hermetic noise musicians masquerading as three beer-swilling metal-stoner dudes, psi describe themselves as “evolving into nothing.” Rarely static, the music expands, contracts, breaks, oozes, but it does not develop towards an end—thankfully. Good noise, like good science, renders insensible the teleological values of intelligent design, and psi becomes what it is in punctuated fits and starts that pretend to nothing but what they are. They massage the ears with murmuring quizzical streams of ululatory sonic babble, crushing-to-painful timbral quilts of sounds, teasing references to brut-rock rhythm, and the occasional carelessly processed vocal fits resembling at turns both the extended vocalisms of Jaap Blonk and the early Wolf Eyes-Andrew W.K. collaborations.

This is really cool too:

While multifractal spectra are convex, general field theoretic arguments show that power of field operators $\phi^f$ yield a concave spectrum of exponents as function of $f$. This is resolved by appropriate choice of operators to describe multifractal moments. In a Lagrangian field theory of two mutually interacting species of fields $\phi,\psi$, operators $O_{f’f}=\psi^{f’}\phi^f$ with traceless symmetry give rise to multifractal spectra of harmonic diffusion near absorbing fractals when evaluated for zero component fields.
