Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

How to Make Love a Sound Douglas Davis 1933 - 2014 United States
"Hello! I'm a sound now. Perhaps I'm inside your ear, under your pillow, beside your sofa. Where are you now? We must think this through very quickly. And it has to end in a leap across space from where I am into the space where you are. Not that long ago, I leaped across the Atlantic Ocean to become one with my female half! Just listen... (Male) Here I come - one giant leap - for mankind/womankind. (Female) Here I am! Free, beyond his reach... unless that flying noise I hear... is me, I mean him! (Male) I'm here! Why are you running? The impossible, the perfect union... is ours! (Male/Female) No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! NoYesNoYesNoYesNoYes... It can happen. Lie back and believe we can transcend where you are, when you are, where I am, when I am. Knock on your speaker, quickly - I'm listening for you. I think I can hear you. I know I can. Let's knock together, like tom toms. Isn't this proof? It's just a leap of faith now to trade our spaces... I'm starting to run right into your arms. I'll be whatever sex you want me to be... we're leaping out of space and time and sex. Get ready, uncork your bottles, pour the two glasses! There is only 11 seconds left before we consulate together. I'm coming, yes I am! I'm - I'm coming!
