Spiritual transformation not just leisure...
Indeed. And the process of growth is not necessarily a "walk in the park".
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

A marvellous video about speakers done like musical instrument : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTCtitxkNvc A Speaker Built Like a Wind Instrument: 50 Years in Pursuit of Perfect SoundI like it because i discovered many years ago in my first dedicated audio room that system/speakers/room/ears are one musical instrument or one very complex resonator ... Now the thread is about music... Sound and music are one we can distinguish them perfectly but we cannot separate them... In speech sound and meaning are perfectly distinguishable but we cannot separate them... It is possible to appreciate Bruckner 5 th symphony about the "meaning of life" like an NDE experience translated into music (it is my perception of this symphony) from your phone with bad earbuds, but it is easier to pick this meaning on a very good system/room for a better meditation on this very complex but very deep masterpiece. It is the only Bruckner symphony with a perfectly completed finale with his eight symphony, a finale putting all pieces or preceding movements together as ONE using a breathtaking masterful fugue in the finale ...An experience you cannot forgot especially after the second very meditative listening....it is impossible to understand this symphony at first listening save if you are a genius. I am not. It takes me the second listening to "see" the "movie" clearly so to speak ... I like Celibidache 5th spiritual depth ...Celibidache make the orchestra speak not only doing music but telling a story...It is real cinema... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOTzCgMxy_o&list=RDiOTzCgMxy_o&start_radio=1 |

Now what about the future of music and of the threefold free social fabric ? We are not ready nor mature enough in our societies for the technology that was dropped on our heads... If you think that technology is marvellous, remember the Amish reply about why they dont use automobile : " We only use tech that will not break our loving caring social fabric "...Between becoming a cyborg or staying a non fanatical Amish, my choice is done... What is the future of "popular" industrial and commercial music ? A musician on UBI (universal Basic Income ) will not be more happy and those loosing their jobs either because UBI is first and last digital control and freedom loss not mere free money... A non working man, non contributing man, is no more a citizen but a useless eater ...Oligarchs will draw the same conclusion: we are too much, too polluting and who need us ? Musk said it will be abundance free for all ...It makes me smile thinking about his "naiveté" or worst, i dont know... Technology is not wisdom for sure ...Science is not Knowledge but less than knowledge and informed by it, knowledge is not technology but way more , Love is the beginning and the end of wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge paired with love.. Ai Can now Fully Produce YOUR SONG!

Perdomo was using Suno A.I. But this young man now suggested that there is better than Suno : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7_ibwqKKao
The truth is simply evident : What power mankind will delegate to a.I. mankind will had the consequence that mankind loose his ability to create it again in himself from himself.. If you compute by asking A.I. the answer how will you learn to compute with your head efficiently ? If you wrote no more, how this will affect thinking gesture ? Etc... There is a price to pay, when no human jobs are needed anymore in the social fabric, the threefold social fabric (Culture-politic-economy) is reduced to one layer of control and the "citizen" exist no more only a useless eater exist. |
I had a long session with chatgbt about developing a physics that might have been seen through a feminine lens, rather than our very masculine physics. I had the questions and chatgbt knew quantum physics pretty well. Together, we put together a very interesting "feminine" physics. Space is the primary element from which matter and energy are born. Anyway, there are pages and pages. I very much enjoyed that rleationship with AI. I was listening to some great composer (Zuben Mehta?) being interviewed. When he was asked what piece of music he would like played at his funeral, he said, "Schubert's String Quintet in C" (D. 956, Op.Posth 163). I think this might be Schubert's deepest and most spiritual piece. |
