There are different paths a life It is important that we know what direction we are moving in.
If your life is an Arrow where does it point
I am living the perceived business school career end game, A cushy office job at a respectable corporation.
Extended spans of time sitting in foam-padded adjustable office chair while analyzing business data using the multiple computer displays placed in front of me.
A cog in the machine of a business constantly in motion. A gear oiled by the free coffee found in break room.
80% of my weekdays now contained in a cubicle, Robotic, dry, the color gray.
The most playful expression of life's experiences is music.
pushing out feeling in the form acoustic sound waves.
Back in the day I was part of an experimental rock band we played a few shows
but my favorite aspect of music jamming with others and creating something new
An Improvised combination of notes of multiple musicians becoming a new musical work.
A measurable real life implementation of the concept of rhythmic patterns applied to music
In the case of rhythmic patterns, the combination of two such patterns will generate a third. Therefore, it becomes possible to investigate an unfamiliar pattern by combining it with a known second pattern and inspecting the third pattern which they together generate. (Bateson, http://www.oikos.org/m&nmultiple.htm)
The inclusion of music can improve the ambiance of any situation/event.
Music has the ability to trigger memories in people
Prof : I read these provocative paragraphs as phonographic turntables calling out for new mixtures. The choice of diction and the grid-imagery Arrow designs in the description-oriented first paragraph gives way to a testimony in the second paragraph, which sings of a more fluid space of improvisation, vibration, and becoming.
The page title offers the idea of a filter. As a reader, when I play dj on these two scenarios, I think about writing itself as path to exploring their differences and potential similarities. I think about Bob Moog’s synthesizers, with their filters and circuits. I think about the diverse Fluxus experiments in sound and space. For example, Alvin Lucier, in Music for Solo Performer and Shelter, amplified alpha brain waves and ambient acoustics to assemble human bodies, tables, floors, and walls as filters for the active force of sound. Lucian’s score/argument compels listeners to “discover the particular characteristics of the materials” and areas that created the media and the boundaries of his compositions. These works of art suggest that, whether we are designing a fluid art/performance space, or hacking out a sustainable writing practice in some outdated institutional framework, we encounter similar processes and problems of rhetorical invention.
