Mastery

Sunwukong by fuckorange

Like most of you, I am interested in... obsessed, perhaps, by the concept of mastery. There is truly nothing more breathtaking or inspiring than to witness a true master at work.  It matters not what their art may be, their utter genius makes a fan even of people who would normally be averse to the form.

East Meets West

As a natural sucker for mash-ups, hybrids, cross-pollination and the like, it should come as no surprise that I have been a lifelong fan of music that spans genres and mixes elements of things that have traditionally been rather isolated.  Truthfully, all of the major advances in music have come out of such melting-pot sensibilities. Nearly all of modern music can be traced back to Congo Square in New Orleans where African slaves met European instruments and gave birth to jazz, blues, soul and all that descended from that heady mix.

If either of those two pillars of humanity actually existed.

Number Nine

Ahhh... the 9th post.

Here Comes The Sun

There is something incredibly epic about staying up all night and watching the sun rise.

Ahhh....

Things are not always what they seem to be.

Good For Your Soul

Music is good for the soul.

Intelligent Autopoiesis & Spiritual Constructivism

"Intelligence organizes the world by organizing itself." - Jean Piaget in "La construction du réel chez l'enfant" (1937)

I would like to start a discussion on two subjects that seem abstract, and are yet among the most important and 'thought about' aspects of our human existence.

Alex Grey's fabulous "Tree of Life"

Well, I've been a busy little beaver.

And... things are still massively underway. Where does the time go?

Don't you just hate rhetorical questions?
