"Rauschen" - white noise - is the totality of sounds.
At the same time the maximum and the minimum of information.
The maximum, as everything allways.
The minimum, as infinite redundancy.
In all the pieces of Weiss/weisslich 27 - in correspondence to white light - the spectrum of white noise is refracted into partial spectrums. In a way the sum of these partial spectrums results furthermore in being "white" (everything). The difference between (distinguishable) partial spectrums and their (indistinguishable) sum is the subject of these pieces. (English notes edited by Andrew Smith)
