It's like this about philosophy and long improvisation
https://youtu.be/xvSIH3Z92XM video (rebab/guitar) Here it's like this . I woke at 5:00 AM in the morning and it's now 6 and I began to think about again their philosophy of long form musical structures that I've been working with and thinking of these long form musical structures as philosophy in themselves . So when this happened woke up I got out of bed I came out of here into the computer area and I started dictating and typing simultaneously to gather my thoughts on this. I'm not sure what I'm doing is music in the ordinary sense and it's certainly not philosophy in the ordinary sense. So I was going through this found the typing error went back corrected the error and by accident or deliberate forgetting erased most of what I have been saying and writing . So right here this perhaps is better these are fragments . Because i've been thinking that's the long form that I've been using in a lot of the recent pieces accompanied by video in fact is not music in the ordinary sense of the word but perhaps an attempt create a space a kind of space , a space for philosophy that is not necessarily (written, spoken, musical) language. The point for me is in these long forms it's not the content, scales, etc. that's critical, but almost something subterranean. ... if they're describing a phenomenology of the world but in fact are turning in upon themselves to create an experience for the listener or the reader . It's a way of thinking that isn't really musical at all and on the other hand it's not concept driven . It involves a backwater that is remembering what has come before just as one might when writing a paragraph or speaking as I am now . But it also involves lateral movement ... doing these long forms in music that they're not music in in the ordinary sense of the word in fact they are music only to the extent that they are somewhat organized sound that gestures towards musical form, but I think as well that they're carrying somatic, ideational, referential, and conceptual-philosophical content as well. I certainly am pretentious and in the regard of the above, most likely wrong, if not delusional. But this approach enables me to think in an other way, much like relevance theory (Schutz) might move towards the object after considered appearance, described after the fact. ... meanwhile slept on that and we were woken very early morning w/ the fire alarm, not a test but something went wrong and we were all huddled outside in an emergency state of mind for a while and found out nothing was happening, perhaps also a metaphor for whatever I think I'm doing which perhaps isn't much - ___ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
