RE: Loop approach: Loop as effect

["Graboski, John" <John.Graboski@ssa.gov>]

Why? 

There is an aphorism in Guitar Craft that reads: "Music so wishes to be
heard that it calls on some to give it voice and some to give it ears.  If
we consider this creative musical impulse to actuation, what is necessary 
to
bring this potential into expression?  As potential, this
about-to-be-becoming act does not exist (in esse), other than in potential
(in posse).  So, although it does not exist (in esse), it is nevertheless
quite real.  Since it is real, but does not exist, this potential act of
music needs a field within which to know itself.  That is, the act of 
music,
which is one, requires a relationship with itself.  For this unity to have 
a
relationship with itself, it requires to separate within itself, but not
apart from itself.  So this oneness regards itself in twoness.  There is
music and, say, the audience of music. Or, there is music and, say, the
musician." (THE ACT OF MUSIC, Pt.I, Guitar Craft Monograph One,A, February
18, 1988)

Ahhhhh . . . "why?" There's the $64,000 question. Where's Groucho
when you need him? I wonder how many diverse answers there are 
to THAT one? DT, you wanna go first? :-)

Best,
