Had a vivid dream last night, in which I read a toot from @nprofile1q... in which he was citing an analogy he called 'Startled Porcupine Syndrome' which described a musical device of 'constant disassembly and re-assembly', employed (apparently) to great effect by Bono of U2.

I'm afraid I don't know the context of the analogy, nor the intent, but it was confidently and persuasively stated and Vik, if you can shed any light on this, I'm keen to know about it.
