Thursday Links
- “Self and the needs of the moment drop away, and we become bewitched by the world’s fascinating aural colours, or if it’s music, by the mysterious order in the notes - which for a moment puts us in order too.” Is listening to music for its own sake such a bad thing?
- “How reliant are you on your sense of sight when you create or experience music? How much do you feel you are losing from the experience of music when you are only able to listen to it, e.g. on the radio or a recording? And what exactly is it that you are losing?” Participate in the discussion here.
- The New Philistinism or Why You Need History to Make Music
- America is dispatching musical missionaries to North Korea. Hooray!
- And finally: A bass or a mortgage? What would/did you choose?
