2008.12.23 07:00 - Musical Appreciation

 This morning Riddle Sideways was your GoC and has added comments.

Herein, is a session that speaks from and to much more of my own musical bent.
Would love to title is "In search of the lost chord".

PaB Listener Master: Recording has started!
Riddle Sideways: good morning master recorder

Riddle Sideways: good morning Crusty
Riddle Sideways: that is a great cape
Crusty Goldshark: hi thanks
Riddle Sideways: I am enjoying those moments between when the coffee is ready but too hot
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Riddle Sideways: good morning Gaya
Crusty Goldshark: hi gaya
Crusty Goldshark: coffeee m m m
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Riddle Sideways: it smells so good, but will burn my tongue if I drink now
Gaya Ethaniel: Anticipation ^^
Crusty Goldshark: hi abi
Gaya Ethaniel: Hey Adams ^^
Riddle Sideways: good morning Adams
Adams Rubble: hello Gaya, Ruddle Crusty :)
Adams Rubble: Riddle
Riddle Sideways: :)
Crusty Goldshark: sorry hi Adams
Riddle Sideways: I've been called worse
Adams Rubble: me too
Crusty Goldshark: me 3

Riddle Sideways: couple days ago I was hearing the best statement on radio
Riddle Sideways: but can not directly quote
Crusty Goldshark: yes?
Gaya Ethaniel listens
Riddle Sideways: something about that he could not appreciate the musical piece until it was over
Gaya Ethaniel: Who is 'he'?
Riddle Sideways: not sure

Crusty Goldshark: snow . . .
Riddle Sideways: ooooooooo snow flakes
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Gaya Ethaniel: Did he say why?
Riddle Sideways: thank you for the snow
Riddle Sideways: that was prolly the best part
Riddle Sideways: I did not hear why, who, how or whatever
Riddle Sideways: I was left to figure it out

Crusty Goldshark: Well a lot of the best music is dependent on the phrasing - the pauses . . .
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^ something 'clicked' when you heard that statement it seems
Riddle Sideways: pushing the metaphor
Riddle Sideways: living a full life
Riddle Sideways: for 15 minutes
Riddle Sideways: then in 9 seconds noticing
Riddle Sideways: how good it was
Adams Rubble: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: What does living a full life mean to you?
Crusty Goldshark: good question Gaya . . .
Riddle Sideways: ah Gaya, that seems to be different each 15 segment
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^ just curious
Gaya Ethaniel: ah...
Riddle Sideways: 1. Being present
Riddle Sideways: in no order
Riddle Sideways: 2. breathing deep
Gaya Ethaniel breathes deep
Riddle Sideways: 3. feeling the love abound
Riddle Sideways: 2. relaxing
Riddle Sideways: 1. messing up counting
Crusty Goldshark: So the fullness is always present - but it is being aware of its fullness?

As we all know and try to know we know, but desires to be repeated...

The Fullness is always present.  It is the "BEING Aware" of its fullness.

Riddle Sideways: I think so
Adams Rubble: we can be aware of music while it is playing :)
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Riddle Sideways: yes
Gaya Ethaniel: Please say more on 3? How do you do that?
Riddle Sideways: short backtrack first
Riddle Sideways: when listening deeply/fully to any moment of the great musics
Riddle Sideways: you can be the sound
Riddle Sideways: be the notes
Riddle Sideways: the silences
Riddle Sideways: when the music is made by ones family
Riddle Sideways: ones love ones
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Riddle Sideways: by mother earth
Riddle Sideways: translate the fullness feeling to the term Love
Riddle Sideways: love is a very happy word to use at those occasions
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^

Gaya Ethaniel: All of your family musical like yourself Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: is this not what each of you feel
Riddle Sideways: no my daughter is tthe only musical member
Gaya Ethaniel: ah ok
Riddle Sideways: and my father
Gaya Ethaniel: [please continue, sorry for interruption]
Crusty Goldshark: Is the music a projectio or reception?
Riddle Sideways: no no want all of you to continue
Gaya Ethaniel: Both and more I think Crusty
Riddle Sideways: oooo Crusty that is both a great question and a who cares
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: [even audience can influence performances in a way]
Riddle Sideways: even the room can influence the performance , accoustics etc.

Gaya Ethaniel giggles at a momery... of a snoring audience member who was asked to leave by the conductor in the middle of performance
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: :D
Gaya Ethaniel: That's true Riddle
Crusty Goldshark: did he wake him by tapping him on the head?
Adams Rubble: That's why they make tubas
Gaya Ethaniel: No the orchestra stopped after a while snoring began...
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Then he woke up and was asked politely to leave
Riddle Sideways: what they use the cannon in 1812 for
Gaya Ethaniel: heheheh
Adams Rubble puts on some music in RL
Crusty Goldshark: wot?
Gaya Ethaniel: Or Pathetique [Thaikovsky actually enjoyed watching startled audiences apparently]
Riddle Sideways: we can analyse receive or project
Riddle Sideways: both we do both
Gaya Ethaniel: Do you have time/space to analyse while listening?
Riddle Sideways: oh course
Gaya Ethaniel: ah...
Riddle Sideways: *of
Crusty Goldshark: I ask because we can receive as much as we care to listen with and we can project as much as we care to put into the listening . . .
Adams Rubble: yes
Gaya Ethaniel: ... care or are able to?
Crusty Goldshark: able
Adams Rubble: I always feel a little disappointed when the music ends
Riddle Sideways: and we can do internal/external processing while doing both
Crusty Goldshark: Silence is my favourite music - so it seldom ends

Riddle Sideways: "When the musics over, turn out the lights"
Adams Rubble: zzzzzz
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Riddle Sideways: the silence at the end is the 9-sec
Riddle Sideways: then the applause
Adams Rubble: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: That kind of silence is delicious ^^
Riddle Sideways: it sure is

Crusty Goldshark: My greatest teacher was a street light
Crusty Goldshark: that I learnt to listen to
Gaya Ethaniel: Listen to street lights?
Adams Rubble: Hello fael :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Hey Fael ^^
Fael Illyar: Hi Everyone :)
Riddle Sideways: good morning Fael
Crusty Goldshark: It was painted red and white - like my cap and it said everything is an expression of its inner nature . . .
Crusty Goldshark: Hi Fael
Riddle Sideways: oooo Fael you rez so nicely
Fael Illyar smiles 'Thank you.'
Gaya Ethaniel waits for further revealation by the street light

Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Crusty Goldshark: LOL - the street light taught me only this thing 'everything is an expression of its inner nature' it is quite a mundane revelation but it makes it possible to listen to or read everything . . .
Gaya Ethaniel: ah... you mean you saw something in the light?
Crusty Goldshark: Everything becomes special - if we listen we find the music is the same
Crusty Goldshark: Light on Light
Riddle Sideways thinks we all have some story, revelation, incident that is to others is ... but to us is the essence of reality, wisdom, beauty, and ...
Crusty Goldshark: The light dances to its own tune
Crusty Goldshark: unique in expression but the same in essence
Riddle Sideways: what chords resonant most in you?
Riddle Sideways: what note of the universe means truth
Crusty Goldshark: Yes Riddle - a revelation may appear mundane to others but in the right fram of mind can be profound
Fael Illyar: It's all truth, but whether your interpretation is... that's whole different matter

Riddle Sideways: I have a continuing awaking with each door knob
Crusty Goldshark: Well the music you describe is one of Love - this can be expressed in Mahyana Buddhism as 'Emptiness is form and form is emptiness' on some level meaning the Love is without both expression and non existence . . . A Silent note
Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Crusty Goldshark: A snowflake that melts before it has fallen . . .
Riddle Sideways: a Faenik that is both here and not here, heard and not heard ...
Faenik is here?
Faenik: why not?
Crusty Goldshark: Yes a reality like SL is both real and just a phantasm . . .
Gaya Ethaniel: What's phantasm?
Faenik perks his ears up looking suddenly interested.
Fael Illyar: close to illusion I think.
Riddle Sideways: the edges are blurring for me
Gaya Ethaniel: And the difference is...?
Crusty Goldshark: it is a fantasic phantom - a Holy Ghost - a lost chord etc
Crusty Goldshark: Awareness with being - or Being without substance . . .
Fael Illyar: phantasm
ghostly appearing figure; "we were unprepared for the
" [syn: apparition, phantom,
spectre]
in perception only; "a ghostly apparition
syn: apparition, phantom, phantasma, shadow]
Riddle Sideways notes that that is the third time in a day that "Lost chord" has been mentioned to me
Riddle Sideways: TY Fael
Gaya Ethaniel: ty both ^^

Crusty Goldshark: Maybe like the Moody Blues you are in search of the 'Lost Cord' - that might tie it all together :)

I did not get the pun at first.

The Moody Blues [hmmm, what word to use? 'were' because they are no longer or 'are' because we can still play their music anew] a band whose music was both deep and shallow. Somedays the same song was so obviously sugar sweeten crap that I would wonder what I ever liked in it yesterday.

Riddle Sideways: I am either hearing too much or too little Moody Blues lately
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Riddle Sideways: my guitarist quoted the entire poem at the end of knights in white satin, last night
Faenik loves wells!
Crusty Goldshark: I did a course a few years back on how to think and it mentioned that people think in different ways - some use metaphors of sound, some of visuals and some are based on touch . . .
Gaya Ethaniel: Sorry but what's the end of knights in white satin?
Riddle Sideways: Sorry, Gaya I can not quote the poem from the end of the moody blues song :(
Crusty Goldshark: In order to get on the same wavelength you have to understand what a person is talking about and how - for example I am largely visualy based and Riddle talks in the metaphor of sound . . .
Gaya Ethaniel: ah, it's a song I see ^^
Adams Rubble: from the 60s
Gaya Ethaniel: Yes Crusty I know what you mean
Faenik: ????^^
Riddle Sideways: at least today
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Riddle Sideways: adams, me or the song
Riddle Sideways: actually both
Adams Rubble: you, me and the song :)
Crusty Goldshark: That is because you are wearing the right type of hat Gaya :)
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^ perhaps
Crusty Goldshark: :)
Riddle Sideways: :)
Riddle Sideways: which hat would that be
Fael Illyar ponders whether she's a visual or auditory person ...
Riddle Sideways: the sence that you bring into your sentences seems important
Gaya Ethaniel: Please give us an example Riddle
Faenik: indeed?
Riddle Sideways: Crusty did the best description
Gaya Ethaniel: ^^
Riddle Sideways: I am framing every thing in musical terms today
Riddle Sideways: with the ears of the world
Gaya Ethaniel: I'm fond of both, visual and auditory...
Riddle Sideways: Crusty is seeing things as they are (to Crusty)
Gaya Ethaniel: ah... I see now
Crusty Goldshark: Yes we often change to accomodate - I FEEL this is an important way of communicating is body based - I see what you mean is visual - I hear you is aditory etc .. .
Riddle Sideways: we talked the other day about things smelling rotten lately
Adams Rubble: only for another month
Gaya Ethaniel: Rotten where?
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: in the states of the united
Adams Rubble: of
Gaya Ethaniel: ah... hang on... are talking of politics?
Riddle Sideways: almost
Adams Rubble pleads guilty
Gaya Ethaniel: yay! tuning in ok today
Riddle Sideways: :)
Crusty Goldshark: have to go - time to enter the RL - cu guys

Adams Rubble: bye Crusty :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Have fun shopping Crusty ^^
Riddle Sideways: okCrusty
Gaya Ethaniel: Wish you lots of last minute bargains
Riddle Sideways: bye bye
Crusty Goldshark is Offline
Gaya Ethaniel: When is Bush going on officially then?
Riddle Sideways: Jan 20
Adams Rubble: January 20th at 12 noon
Gaya Ethaniel: ah ok
Adams Rubble: They are having it outside so it will be too cold for 4 million people to through shoes
Adams Rubble: throw
Riddle Sideways: :)
Faenik loves wells!

Gaya Ethaniel: I was watching Bi-Bicentennial Man last night and something really stuck out
Riddle Sideways: I only just learned about this shoe throwing thing, very funny
Riddle Sideways: yes, Gaya
Gaya Ethaniel: That the head of the 'World Congress' was a black person and... we have a black US president... amazing in a way
Gaya Ethaniel: People thought that would happen well in the future
Gaya Ethaniel: People seeing beyond racial differences
Riddle Sideways: it is amazing
Riddle Sideways: thought I might not see this in my life
Fael Illyar: There are always people who're ahead of their time. They're the ones who "create the future" so to speak.
Riddle Sideways: I have fought for equality for so long
Riddle Sideways: and it seemed hopeless
Gaya Ethaniel: Majority of US citizens are ahead of time it seems then ^^
Riddle Sideways: ha, because we rush so fast
Adams Rubble: It is very complicated
Adams Rubble: If he does well, it will become a moot point in the future
Faenik: indeed?
Gaya Ethaniel: Well even before the 'end results' I meant... I was surprised at the election outcome
Adams Rubble: America likes to elect people who offer hope
Gaya Ethaniel: Other countries too I think
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: not sure why bush was elected then
Adams Rubble: He offered hope but did not deliver
Adams Rubble: did the opposite
Adams Rubble: remember compassionate conservatism
Riddle Sideways: oh yeah, a few richys had nope
Riddle Sideways: hope
Adams Rubble: offered to make us proud of the white house
Adams Rubble: the richys got nope. hehe
Adams Rubble: in the end
Riddle Sideways loves typos
Gaya Ethaniel: On that note, I will go off and google/learn about 'compassionate conservatism' Good day all ^^

Adams Rubble: bye Gaya :)
Fael Illyar: See you later Gaya :)
Riddle Sideways: good day Gaya

Riddle Sideways: and thank you Fael, I gotthe airplane out of my house
Fael Illyar: You're welcome :)
Adams Rubble sorry to send Riddle the problem
Riddle Sideways: wonder whose problem it is now
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: I couldn;t get into my house
Fael Illyar: I'm still wondering what's up with return not working either.
Adams Rubble is thankful it was not a real plane in a real house
Riddle Sideways: seems it was a Linden special object
Faenik: could be
Adams Rubble: Fael had the strength of 60 men :)
Adams Rubble: lifted the plane right off the patio
Adams Rubble: poof...off to Rffles
Adams Rubble: Riddles
Riddle Sideways: I had problems streaching a block
Fael Illyar: I'd guess Riddle did the same thing :)
Riddle Sideways: missed picking the new block and raised my floor instead
Riddle Sideways: it worked
Adams Rubble: :)
Fael Illyar: well, that works too :D
Adams Rubble will think more the next time riding a vehicle
Fael Illyar: It's sometimes unavoidable
Fael Illyar: especially in airplanes.
Riddle Sideways: yes, was thinking of that
Riddle Sideways: get in it, then raise it
Adams Rubble always wondered where they went
Adams Rubble: when they crashed
Fael Illyar: things rez too slow and if you crash into anything, the plane (unless it's designed to self destruct) keeps going and you end up somewhere.
Adams Rubble: yes, I have usually ended up standing on the bottom of the oceam
Fael Illyar: kind of kills the fun from flying around in SL :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Fael Illyar: except at reasonably slow speeds
Adams Rubble: It is good we can tp
Fael Illyar: Yep, would be quite a pain if we couldn't :)
Riddle Sideways: the balloon is about the right speed
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: I just hate it when I rez into RL at the bottom of the ocean
Adams Rubble: Yes
Fael Illyar: You do that?
Riddle Sideways: or have no tp
Riddle Sideways: well, sometimes when I snap awake after dropping off I don't know where I am
Riddle Sideways: could be ocean or mountain
Adams Rubble: It is time for me to head out. Bye for now :)
Fael Illyar: See you later Adams :)
Adams Rubble: Good to see you both :)
Riddle Sideways: me too, must go BE real
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: fun time, today
Adams Rubble: I just have to go back to work :)
