I was thinking about your comment - sometimes one is unable to reply immediately, also, it can happen naturally that one moves on from a thought, but still I thought I would reply today to say share the related thought I had - the message (song) that is needed may change according to time and person. ane pixestoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750266230259761680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278009708992140259.post-83812567298092484872014-02-19T20:53:22.977+08:002014-02-19T20:53:22.977+08:00"Disorder" is a term that would need to ..."Disorder" is a term that would need to be unpacked. But a story in today's news tells of ice makers in Sochi having certain kinds of music played while ice is made. Different music for different ice.

Later classical music I consider just as disruptive as some rock and some techno. Then to speak of 'Rock' there are some Beatles songs and some Caetano Veloso songs that are almost calming, that pick up on folk or bossa nova influences. (Perhaps I respond to the word 'unsettle' and think 'calm' with respect to order.)ane pixestoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750266230259761680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278009708992140259.post-63958274834338343142014-02-18T06:36:28.665+08:002014-02-18T06:36:28.665+08:00Much to mull.

Then there's those unsettling modes -- are they any less real than the canonical modes of the "fundamental ... conventions"? A change in modality will unsettle the conventions, but is there here a change from more participation in the true order (music, soul, universe) to less, or just difference? Instead of different musical modes, what of different modes of numbers? Tom Matrullohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460789537848811061noreply@blogger.com
