So what does this mean it means that when I am playing fast it's a kind of meditation when I'm playing complexly weaving patterns in and out until I get lost in them and have to back up backtrack it's also a kind of potential healing, for the moment, in the moment. I'm always amazed at what comes out it's kind of a flower incenses in a sense a kind of a rose with pedal after pedal opening up in 2 new domains that i never conceivably could ever imagine. So this is what so this is what so this is what I was doing here. I went to sleep last night and woke up this morning feeling horrified about the fires in Australia thinking about the fires thinking about what is happening in Iran thinking about the fact that the world is almost going to war. and then I turned to music I curled in on the guitar I curled in on the hasapi I curled in yes I curled in on the saz I curled in on the violin and then what resulted I think what resulted was a kind of music that lifted me up. It's no wonder that I was reading about Mozart and his relationship to the starling so I thought how music connects to the world at large how music can be done without really thinking articulating what is being done while it's being done. And I thought that's what I'm doing that's exactly what I'm doing here and that amazes me that it's possible to do that that I can be lifted to such heights by doing this kind of music where my mind and the instrument and the sound and the whole sun-rose universe become one. It's not a question of thinking through ideas in the sense of language it's a question of moving through a space it's both universal and personal at the same time. it's a space that I partly construct and a space that partly constructs me. So listen to these and Welcome to the world they are in and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being within them. (end of dictation) The space moving into itself, out of itself, as a rose, as a rose with its petals unfolding, spreading new emergences, riemannian space, sheaves and layers, a space which is inarticulated within any propriety of language, articulated in motion and trailings, in the being of space itself, in mind emptied meditative space, in the body on its own, on its own in the universe, and listen, listen, listen _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
