<<-Music itself is just vibrations of the atoms in the air... No. There are lots of vibrations- not all are music. <<-our perception of sound is hopelessly coloured Hopelessly? Interesting choice of words... <<-The beginning of the "questioning of oneself" is the beginning of making sure we have it <<together. Uh- - - Okay. === In our quest to appear that we *have it together* it can seem tempting to abandon both logic and our instincts. We’ve been hearing this kind of stuff for so long: Enlightentment/Existential patter that wants us to believe that we are even LESS than the sum of our parts. But us country peasants are no longer as quick to believe whatever rhetoric the guerrillas in the hills are pushing [be it coke or work boycotts]. Folks are much less likely to attend art openings where there is only red dripped on Plexiglas. People almost definitely won’t pay 40 bucks to watch some fool sit silently at a piano. And most know that there is a jewel in the heart of the lotus. More and more will understand the sweet chicken&eggness of math and music. Space and time. Existence and consciousness. Instinct and purpose. Whether you gather roots for breakfast, or live on the 14th floor; we're one people, in the same gravity. Most of that old talk of class, race, culture was a ruse to manipulate us, and make us not question the credentials of the speakers. Those speakers will also tell you why music no longer needs harmony, rules of composition or rhythm. In fact, they’ll try to make you feel small if you don’t agree. That's why I like looping: You can't fool people who have had a hand in creation. They know the difference between noise and - - - uh, Something Musical. They know that banging someone with a pipe doesn’t become music until you add good intention.
