In music we have time.
We have the conception, birth, breath, and end of the piece. The past gives us context to help understand the present, and predict what the future may bring, but it’s really only the present moment that is ever directly experienced.
Within musical time we have Measures, bars, phrases, periods, movements etc. Sunrise, sunset, seasons, years, and larger cycles.
within these cycles exists consonance and dissonance. We strive for a balance, but often have to play one piece a thousand times over, making small changes to individual notes, and slowly perfecting before moving on to the next. Each note (whether struggling or excelling) affects the character of the entire piece, and Even though they can feel independent, and absolutely are independent, they lose all meaning without their foundations: the lower vibrations, what came before them, and what follows from them.
there’s a merging of the symbolic feminine and masculine in our minds, or chaos and order which gives rise to these creations.
There are many compelling models which can conceptually represent the whole of existence on a scale digestible by our minds. Music is one of my favorites, and it may do more than represent abstractly. I believe it also expresses directly and concretely what it is to exist. These are the kinds of thoughts that move me to write music
