Nearly all of my first album was created when I was in a trance-like state whilst playing on the street. I had just discovered looping, and it completely stole my soul. My eyes were closed, and it felt as though I was leaning into a wall, with my head resting up against this said wall.... I was not aware of my surroundings, myself, the audience.... anything. I was also not aware of the homeless people taking money out of my case, but heh :) There is something about repetative loops that is hypnotising. My music especially entrances young children (<5 years).... they stand there mesmirised, just staring.... and I can tell that the music carries them somewhere else. I have had people who have entered states of trance-like meditation for about 2 hours after listening to the recordings.... Divination? Yeah.... I suppose you could call it that if you are religiously inclined. Looping can definitely be a very spiritual existence. :) On Thursday, November 7, 2002, at 07:30 AM, Matthias Grob wrote: > Kirby wrote: >> an habitual addiction to some sort of self hypnosis > > as everbody knows, I like this aspect specially... > > Does it regenerate you? > Maybe the way others find a balance in meditating, praying, or even > sports... ? > Do you think that the repetition is the point about it? > If so: would constantly playing the same bring a similar effect? > Does the machine do it better or is it just easier? > For how long do you do such hypnosis? > > Miko calls it "divination (attempt)".
