Week 13 3/31/19

Expanded consciousness and enhanced perception suggest transcendence.

Here envision difficult efforts, labor and risk, to rise above the mundane, the political, the mere material. What is necessary to ascend to understanding?  Where and when do we begin?

Week 12 3/24/19

Art is necessary.  Art is essential.

Against oppression of individual expression, Art Will Never Yield.

Week 11 3/17/19

Direct energy, frequency and vibration toward balance and movement.

These are sounds not limited by linear temporal perception; the desired outcome is expansion. 

Compare, at this far distance, to expressive possibilities of Zaum and its linguistic metaphysics. It is not difficult to do so, and without graceless pretension it is revealing.

Where perspectives are shallow, chaos is apparent.

This is failure to perceive common forces in motion, their origins, and the greater design.  Who would encourage this? Why would this be desirable?

Experiments are successful only insofar as they can be replicated.

Week 9 3/3/19

What is the way of sound?

Every element of the surroundings resonates with energy, vibration, and frequency.  This is a function of change, expansion, and consciousness.

The ear is capable of apprehending and discernment beyond all expectations.

To continuously develop aural perceptivity increases range and scope of auditory knowledge, and provides insight into situations as well as settings.

The more direct the experience of reality, and the more the individual comprehends and becomes engaged with through effort and intent, the more such things as "social constructs" are seen to be transparently spurious and misleading.

Is this a vision of supernormal, or extramundane awareness? Why should this be so?

Historically, these are survival skills.

Know, with will to vision.

Much goes unseen.  Far more goes unheard.  This is to say, perceptual awareness is dimmed by a passive focus on perspectives reinforced by conformist attitudes.  To become knowledgeable beyond this mental and emotional bondage demands conscious intent to expand critical thinking.

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...

Week 5 2/3/19

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.

Week 4 1/27/19

Consciousness is eternal.

Let those of us, who can and will, create to illuminate this realization, and thus bring about change for the better in the world.

Week 3 1/20/19

A balanced perspective illuminates consciousness.

This is clarity of perception, and understanding of action.

Week 2 1/13/19

Why is it necessary to understand the rise and fall of things?

Without interference, cultural events move forward and expand. Intentional disruption of the way of nature ultimately yields grave consequences.

Extend moments of clarity.

The Art of Sound is not limited to expressing emotion.

Week 52 12/30/18

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

Week 51 12/16/18

Vision is fulfilled in the creative act.

To do that which is good is to know it, and desire it.  The act is always in motion.

Week 50 12/23/18

Seeking clarity, can you see the future?

Rather than bring chaos to order, unify disparate elements across all boundaries.

Week 49 12/10/18

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.

Week 48 12/2/18

One may create, and the finished work may have clarity, yet appear obscure.

Nonetheless there are some things within the artist's control, while others are not.

Week 47 11/25/18

Only the artist speaks for the art.

And through the art the artist speaks.

Expanded thinking suggests new directions.
