I am a pianist and a keyboardist and I love music. I want a new form of music to arise from all four quadrants. In my view there would be:
Some apparatus to turn thought inward during the experience
A mode of community
Something to drop higher consciousness from above down onto the experiencer
maybe a new mode of commerce for the experience??? ( I guess the band always needs to get paid though)
and of course music.
The music would be wild, kind of like metal meets new age meets spoken word meets trance meets, plus I like boogie woogie...many things...I can't put it into words.
I know people are doing "new" things in music like combining styles and using DJ techniques and stuff but my imagination is seeing something different, something actually in the music regardless of the instrumentation. Something collective and interior...Hmmmm...
It doesn't have to necessarily involve all the senses but maybe it could. I've seen a few bands doing something like it but I think there's more room for an overiding conscious effort for "expansion" or something?
Someone or something that can open boundaries deeply...
OK I'm rambling but the idea is there nonetheless. I think words aren't doing it, it has to start with integral informed musicians working together and creating something special...
I'm stuck in the hinterland wanting to find that musical connection...arrrgggghhhh....
anyway someday soon I will have some of my stuff on Myspace...attempts are being made...but it's hard going it alone:)
