The mind is like a place where a radio station always is on, an inescapable station, often annoying. The same ads cannot be stopped, they play ten trillion times. Eventually, you hum How Much Is That Doggie In The Window or I’m The Bad Guy or worse your sing ads. The Dalai Lama and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez both sometimes catch themselves singing You Deserve A Break Today… at McDonalds. Doesn’t matter who you are, advertising has that effect, the mind repeats the same thoughts ad nauseum. Does it connect with David Byrne writing “we’re on a road to nowhere” and John Lennon “I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together” and Leonard Cohen “everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody rolls with their fingers crossed” and Laurie Anderson “it’s a sky blue sky, satellites are out tonight”. How can anything understand being outside a system they are born into. When I play triads based on minor seconds or tritones, a sound not usually considered pleasant by the larger world, it might be interesting precisely for those reasons. There might be a destination available for a person who intentionally steers the boat against the current. A place where seeing more than what is ordinarily visible reveals itself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
