Right. Both things are important, as always. Repetition and change are both important.
The hindu have three main Gods: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. More than Gods in the meaning of "thinking entities", they are just representations of the three more important components of life: creation, preservation, transformation. Things appear, stay for a while, than they change. I would like to hear a music which is like that. A flow without beginning and without end (I suppose this can only be achieved with fade in and fade out, to give the impression of something which was already playing and which will keep playing), where some forms/sounds appear, stay/repeat, then change/transform till they are completely different, till all is completely different. by the way, somebody here has a signature with a sentence of Ramana Maharishi (till now you believed to be the body and to have a form...) I wrote him once, then I lost his email among the others and forgot his name. Who is him?

Repetition defines the human (and most other forms of life) existence.

Perhaps that is due to the fact that we perceive developments or a purpose or a desired end makes the repetition meaningful. > > I enjoy listening to repetitive loops because I can usually expect that the performer will be adding a bit here and there and/or is ultimately working toward some kind of goal or an ending. > > If a performer just looped the same bar over and over, it would be boring to me.
