Week 31 8/5/18
Disengage from the false and contrived.
Perceive without subjectivity. How would this enhance cognizance of what is genuine and true?
To listen is to concentrate, to hear is to expand the perception. There is always more to know.

Form and Function.
The art of sound transcends communication of emotion and idea, as it transcends evocation of physical movement. Nor are these the limits of "music", but merely common, narrow expectations.
What do expanded thinking and broader perception suggest?

Week 27 7/8/18
The creative process exists in a continuum of events.
One thing may be a coincidence, and one thing may not be, and intentional. The process continues in motion, and remains so.

Week 24 6/17/18
More often than not, the artist, at least, must transcend culture.
It is an infantile mistake to conflate high degrees of specialized knowledge with moral reason. The source and origin of critical, creative vision lies far beyond such common perspectives.

Week 23 6/10/18
In listening, and hearing, perceive source and origin without predetermined perspective.
This is accomplished without imposition of attitude or prejudice. One does not project emotion or idea, apprehending, instead, direct impression. Develop the aural composition accordingly, to the extent possible, and the formation of atmosphere and art come about with clarity.
This is merely an ideal to be approached, rather than a superficial goal or ultimate objective.

Week 22 6/3/18
It is a curious thing to create something markedly different from previous forms, if similar in nature.
Research tone poems, Erik Satie, Debussy, Cage, Eno, yet move continuously away from both "music" and "noise". The aural aesthetic remains, while musical paradigms diminish.
Those who are said to have heard music in paranormal or "enchanted" settings describe a kind of enigmatic impression of beautiful sounds that cannot be recollected or re-created in musical terms.
Such impressions may lend themselves to altered perceptual awareness, changes in attention, emotional perspective, and cognitive acuity, or even elevated states of consciousness.

Week 20 5/20/18
Have you heard the term "avant-garde" lately?
Such is the unfortunate nature of a complacent culture, lacking in foresight and vision. Nonetheless, one moves, and moves forward.

Some simply accept.
Others expect more, desire more, and do more. They see, they listen, and hear. They create.

Be aware, conscious of the reality of individual perception.
For the atmospheric composer, this means apprehending the essential synthesis of presence and perception, yielding aural textures, patterns, and myriad qualities of the sonic field.

Atmospheric sounds, though not necessarily musical in nature, may be emulated.
Thus such sounds may be arranged, even "orchestrated", in aesthetic, if not overtly musical, form.
