THE IDEAL WAY to perform RIDGE CROSSING might be with a quartet of pianos, together with a women's choir of about eight to ±24 voices. The pieces may also be played separately, outside of the cycle. The poems should always be performed first, without the music.

DIABOLUS IN MUSICA? The  mystery of the tritone and the 11th partial, essay & sound

THIS IS PART ONE of an audiobook I'm making of David Bohm's (1917-1992)essential, ON DIALOGUE. It's intended for some of my friends and students, and all those interested in exploring nonviolence, ethics, the destructive and divisive nature of thought and thinking, in a serious, sustained way. Both alone, and collectively. I also feel strongly that such a dialogue circle forms the basis of a radically new performance practice in the Arts generally. 

In addition, I'm using ON DIALOGUE with my THEATER OF THE NEW project: SEE ON TWITTER at: https://twitter.com/theaterofthenew

INTRO: 10 Primary Problems, Thought & the Double Circle of Dialogue

Like turning off a noisy machine, the passive awareness of KINPERCEPTION suspends the disruptive habits of runaway self-centered thought. In the free, open space thereby created, a signature asymmetry of human nature becomes self-evident: that CORRUPTION is fast and easy: PURIFICATION, is slow and hard.

The main idea explored in this dialogue tape is that thought is merely an instrument. But because this instrument of thought has broken itself off from the vastly larger circle of awareness and consciousness, it generates the powerful illusion that thought is all there is. This mistake, and more importantly the ignorance there of, results in a steady stream of contradictions and conflicts. It is also a tremendous waste of energy. The crucial point is that a kind of passive, effortless, ongoing awareness can easily sense these disruptions—akin to overt physical pain—and thereby stop them before they happen.
