RE: good intentions



Title: RE: good intentions

** thank you!

this also reminds me that i wonder if any of us see the same "red" in any event (i don't mean in the case of "color blindness"). do i see the same "red" that picasso did? was his somehow richer? when we hear notes, many of us hear them differently: messian heard "colors" when he heard certain notes or chords; rimsky-korsakov associated certain colors with certain keys (d major was red-gold, i believe) - - as did some other composers of his day (scriabin?) - -  whether or not it really meant that they heard that specific color when they heard a piece of music i don't know. however, if you liosten to some of rimsky's music, the way he treeated d major was definitly telling.

jes' some thoughts.

Hi...just one litle thing to add to all of this "black&white&read all over"
missive....I am extraordinarily color blind. There are many shades and
colors which I do not, have not, and will not see.  But there are thousands
of shades and micro shades of gray that I do see.  The thing is, y'see,
color itself does not really exist.  An object that to my perception is,
let's say "grey #3" at 9:30 am in the morning sun will be perhaps grey#68 or
even red or green by 10:30 that same morning. To me, black and white, red
and green, blue and grey are perceptions of color and light which are
dynamic and constantly changing. Color is a perception of the refraction of
light as interpreted by the visual cortex of our brain (ah..those dastardly
rods 'n cones!). To me this perception is constantly in flux...constantly
changing.  Much like improvised music it is never the same way once!
Think about it.....and loop crazy!
