MUSIC IN PHASE SPACE

  • In Accordance With The Logic of Their System

    One of the hallmarks of great fiction, whether in film or literature, is the ability to present complex and nuanced characters. While it may be tempting to present characters as clear heroes or villains, the best fiction often eschews this approach, instead presenting characters that are more true to life. These characters are not necessarily…

  • Masks, Spontaneity, Storytelling, Status

    Keith Johnstone’s theories on spontaneity, storytelling, status, and mask work are well-known in the world of theater and improvisation. His ideas on improvisation go beyond simply teaching actors how to think on their feet; they explore the deeper psychological and neurological mechanisms that underlie creativity and performance. In this essay, we will explore Johnstone’s theories…

  • Meta-Logic and the Absurd

    Meta-logic is a concept that challenges traditional logic and reasoning. It is the idea of communicating beyond the semantic level and conveying a truth that lies beyond ordinary meaning. This concept is often associated with the absurd, but the term “absurd” is misleading. Instead, the expression “meta-logical” is a more accurate description of this phenomenon.…

  • Waves

    Ocean waves have fascinated humans for centuries, serving as both a source of inspiration and a formidable force of nature. But the principles that govern the formation and behavior of ocean waves are not unique to this particular type of wave. Waves of all kinds, whether they are historical, migratory, or scientific in nature, share…

  • Discounted States

    The statement “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing poorly” is often used to encourage people to take action even if they feel they cannot achieve perfection. It is a reminder that it is better to try and fail than to never try at all. In the context of creating a new system,…

  • Steppin’ Stones Vs Upstream

    Seems to me most bad breaks happen inside a man’s pattern. He gets out of phase with it and every step he takes is between the steppin’stones. If he can’t phase in, and if he tries to maintain his pace, why there’s a whole row of stones ahead of him laid just exactly where each…

  • The Mandalorian Music

    One approach that could be considered is to use a musical palette similar to that of the legendary composer Ennio Morricone, particularly as seen in his collaborations with director Sergio Leone. Known for his work on spaghetti westerns like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Morricone’s music often incorporated unconventional instruments such as the…

  • Technical Vs Adaptive

    As a society, we tend to view problems as technical issues that can be solved with technological solutions. We believe that we can overcome our challenges by inventing new machines or creating new algorithms. However, the reality is that many of the problems we face are not technical in nature. Instead, they are adaptive challenges…

  • Xerox Past and Present, Sell it as a Reduced Mark and Call it the Future

    Xeroxing the past and present, selling it as a reduced mark, and dubbing it the future – this concept poses an intriguing enigma, a puzzle to untangle. It touches upon the intricacies of our relationship with history, advancement, and novelty. We are witness to the ever-present recycling and re-packaging of old ideas, technologies, and approaches.…

  • “Non Essential” Readings

    Writers are a curious bunch, with a voracious appetite for knowledge and a deep desire to explore the world around them. They are constantly seeking new ideas, perspectives, and insights that will help them better understand the human experience and the world we inhabit. One of the ways in which they do this is by…
