Periphery of Music

At its cultural center the manner of composing and listening to music is representative of the narrow vision of popular entertainment.  There is nothing beyond the generic forms in such a view.


The imaginative perspective seeks aesthetic beauty in all forms, including those in such continual flux that, like the rhythms and patterns of nature, they appear to be formless.

The recognition of such subtleties begins with reason and yields an intuitive grace of understanding, evolving gradually past the mundane until evoking, at times, a sudden brilliant satori of expanded perception.
