Grasp and Release

The appeal of generic musical forms lies in their reflections of particular states of mind and emotion.


Forms in opposition rely on the same elements, particularly rhythms, and have the same appeal.

Then let us move away, outside, and beyond both scenarios, and direct the attention to different states of consciousness altogether.

Clearly,  these will be, in their diversity, more directly perceptual, contemplative, and reasoning in nature; they will be reached through different constructs of aesthetically purposeful sounds.
