Abstract
Authors Palombini and Riddell narrate their respective experiences as listener and author of Dave Reviews, an electronic piece created in Australia from materials collected in the United States. Musical communication, the authors argue, is largely circumstantial and musicality is a function of one's openness to hearing. This article is accompanied by sound files from Riddell's CD Dave Reviews.
