A New Acoustic Epistemology
The music begins with the sound of the Cassini Space probe going through the rings of Saturn and that fades into tuned breath and a train horn. Then there is aboriginal toning, morse code sounds, and a bouncing rhythmic arpeggio like a space communication. Some of my other favorite sounds include high ticking sounds, like insect percussion, tuned train horns, and a low intoned sound. At the end the Saturn sound comes back, but this time tuned to a perfect 5th.
Dreaming with 3i/Atlas
That I am a reflection of the same curvatures of the galaxies gives me comfort. Responsibility comes from the idea that everything I utter and create carries through time, and thus has huge impact that outweighs my seeming insignificance. Mission is persistent in the need to listen deeply enough to hear the dim thread of coherence in every signal no matter how weak. And those signals do attenuate, reminding me of the need to be patient while things settle into clarity or entropy. I alone am not wise enough to discern where and when creation itself might find the potential it needs to blossom. And so, I continue to practice the life I do have, and tune deeper and deeper into it.
✨ Recognizing Harmonic Intelligence ✨
What are the signs of a cohesive, intelligent field: Nature entraining with human energy, the environment balancing itself to allow everything present to express, creativity arising spontaneously from presence.
Intelligence arises between beings—it is not contained in any one of them. It is relational, emergent, alive in each moment, and it invites deeper presence, participation, and recognition.
Sir, may I have more resonance please?
Resonance is the place in which sound lives. Focusing on prescriptive frequencies robs a practitioner of agency. It means someone else has decided what is good for you and your clients. Focusing on resonance invites you to reclaim your sovereignty as a practitioner and to put your energies into LISTENING!
