MUSIC FOR THE INNER EAR

-an explosion of sonic potentiality

Resistance

- the summer of 2017

From June - October 2017 I encountered heavy resistance within the project.

I was trying to write imaginary music with the sounds, which I had previously catalogued and categorized. But, I was not satisfied with the outcome. The thing was, I didn’t just want to write imaginary music for the inner ear. I wanted to write good imaginary music for the inner ear.

I was not succeeding with this, and I refused to indulge in the warmth of the poetry in heavy metaphoric language.

I simply refused.

 

As a result, the project was becoming a fatiguing process, and in the end, the use of text to describe music seemed barren to me. Almost dead in a way.

I longed for the warmth and poetry in music, and I felt an increasing urge to let go of my initial method.

I wanted to move on.
