Hello Everybody else, On the heels of my the line and "music, I'd like to hear views and a few ideas on just how much jazz particularly, and music generally, requires logical, linear, deliberative thinking. Today I'm not really placing that up in disctinction to psychological or spiritual strategy. But I could tell this to you about when I improvise: Lots of people make reference to that zenny area by which they shed self-awareness, and only allow the music speak through them. But I've discovered that in teaching people how you can improvise, I've develop my very own twist: The best times for me personally, musically, when I've run into the greatest, and frequently quite emotionally significant, states of mind when enjoying the times, have been the times when I've been the most logical. After I obtain a very slow, relaxed, internal story going, ostensibly telling myself how to play: "Okay, sit-up right and good, so you feel well and breathe deeply; ok today play using the lightest, most precise method you can gather. Ok now stop that rest and expression. Increase large and enjoy that blues idea" etc., an such like. What I discover is that the more I do this, the more the world seems to decelerate, which meas that the rate at which I may do the psychological audio arithematic seems to increase relative to real-time (though I could be kidding myself about this) at any rate I'm less irritated by the speed, my noise, etc, and more accepting of the general knowledge, which puts me in a much better feeling, consequently creating me both more likely to perform properly, and more likely to benefit from the entire procedure regardless. I actually do not explain this as a lack of the conscious self; for me personally it's an greatly satisfying, and enhancement of the home. Now obviously I usually get another way, also, and get all Bachic, but later I often wish I'd found my way to that tranquil place, and executed that way as an alternative. Could it be wrong to call their state I first explained "hyper-rational?" Is that fundamentally in opposition to the type of 'expansion of the home' that I hear the others talk about? I actually do not believe it is.
