Sound intersects past and future perspectives.

This is energy informing being and perception to experience the moment, and certainly it is a motivation for the composer, whether for music, sound collage, or something else altogether...

Consider:

The creative arts reflect continuous processes of inspiration and execution. Not all spontaneous impulses are sound, nor can every concept be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Learning and growth take place, nonetheless, and contribute to desirable outcomes.

We cannot be compromised by "narratives".

This is the undeniable power of the arts, above and beyond superficial judgement of man. The power of Being and Mind is superior to the merely physical and transcends semantic debate.


The ancient masters were subtle, mysterious, profound, responsive.
The depth of their knowledge is unfathomable...  

Have you patience to wait till the mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoved and unmoving till the right action arises by itself? – Lao Tsu

Mythology and folklore speak of music as a magical force.

Sounds associated with enchantment and sorcery are at a far distance from contemporary understanding, being associated with narratives of extraordinary events.  But there is more.

When music is central to tales of the strange and paranormal, attempts to evoke its nature falter.  It is invariably described as otherworldly, beautiful, mystical... and altogether unlike anything that would fit a modern definition of "music".  It defies memory of rhythm and melody, leaving only a deep, lasting impression of high strangeness.

The composer would do well who would evoke, and repeatedly express, this formlessness.

What do expanded consciousness and enhanced perception suggest?

Upon close observation, nothing is "ordinary".

Listen, hear, then perceive sound in a different way, without falsification of subjectivity.

Week 41 10/14/18

Creativity is often directed by silent, powerful forces.

These influences are interwoven with the arc of history. They are always present, and waiting to be made manifest through individual ideas and actions.
