More on the previous dictation…..

My mind………also to be used as a synonym for the word ‘method,’ in which case ‘it’ applies equally to the more cerebral sets of processes executed on any instrument…

….i know i rely on a series of techniques to achieve certain sounds… it’s not the same knowledge base, it doesn’t trigger the same brain areas, as repetitive motion does though, what i would call athletic training on an instrument.….

…..only once repetitive motion (i.e. practice) is internalized as second nature, (it moves from the conscious to the unconscious, much like my fingers are doing as I am typing this now) as it is freed of the more mundane limits of flesh and blood while moving toward the more creative parts of the brain…

…..automation, computer automation, merely moves you along the ‘process’ faster. it accelerates human creativity as well as opening up music to the physically inept:)

music notation in classical music is exactly this as well……for the composer doesn’t have to become a master in every instrument in the orchestra, they ‘automate’ the players through a strict symbolic language called ‘notation.’

this is why adherence and conformity are such massive criteria in the classical scene and interpretation and improvisation are keep to a minimum…

the whole thing is rationalized……

…..anyway, I’m way off on a fucking tangent here and i need some coffee.…..
