Frozen architecture
I think too many people take this to granted. You're listening to frozen thoughts, frozen architecture, a capture in time that was shaped by the artist's great interests in life; maybe weirder than this. The best music I've listened has some degree of bias towards something (positive, negative, anything) that differentiates itself clearly when compared with other music in the wild; just like people having different opnions. For the performing side, music becomes like a running faucet, an inexplicable intuition that just make things flow, sometimes perfectly. I feel like I'm quite good at describing feelings, but this is one of them that I just have a hard time explaining. Man, I love music.
For curiosity, I hopped into Justin Bieber's livestream a couple days ago (Ps: I'm not a fan of his music), I skipped to some random timestamp and I saw him playing the 2 thousand 'merican dollar's electric piano he got on hand. I laughed quite loudly when he quantized his melody into the grid. What a poison, don't you think? Even if he's feeling it, my unquantized ass couldn't take it seriously. To be clear this is not about technique, please forgive if I'm giving a grumpy vibe. I think he takes his music too seriously, which kinda makes sense as it's his way of life. I'm not gonna be that one to question others' love for music because of my own obsessive love with it... You know what? I'm going to do exactly that.
I love music more than anyone in this planet. Just music, not an artist in particular. The exercise of one's ability to freeze itself and essentially take a selfie of its memories, identity, emotions, all in under one's less than a life time. You don't understand, it could take you a lifetime to meet a person completely, but their music? It's not them. It's a capture of it all, like a human version of a brain MRI scan. Cheap!
So then, how can I dislike music if I love music? Yes, I don't love all of them, of course. Hard question, will elaborate later.
