Hi Squonk and all,

I use the musical octave as an analogy for evolution.? DQ does not lend
itself to a precise formulation!? I accept DQ through analogy, metaphor,
gesture.? I want to talk about the structure of evolution.


Hi Joe,
Fair enough.


I have sung some of the Eastern Chants, and I agree with you they rock.? My
experience with music is that it can put me in a place for communication.
The other day I was practicing a song to be sung at Mass for the Response. I
let it all hang out, and after I finished someone started clapping.? I
communicated!

s: I love music myself. Medieval forms such as those used in church are very beautiful. Perotin is sublime.

Keep the form pure and somehow the emptiness I feel inside which allows me
to have visions of rhapsody is communicated to a listening other.? DQ!? My
indefinable awareness has legs and it walks away from me.? I am willing to
let it go, if another can enjoy it.? As a performer I am sure you have had
similar experiences.

s: Ah! Music is?felt at a level deeper and of more significance than symbolic language. Need we say much more? ;-)

I do not expect the octave to be an absolute, but as an analogy for
evolution!? Wow!

Joe

s: Well i think it kinda works.
