While dining at a fancy restaurant or even telling a story about something very personal do we experience them. It isn't something exclusive to music, we waver against the melody at how the sound pleases our ears; vocal and instrumental. Naturally, transmissions are a product of speed which dictate how we dissect the bigger and smaller parts of conversation. What we attempt to do is try to understand the way music converses with our ears and ultimately, figuring out what it tells us about ourselves. As Ratliff puts it, it is "a pleasant form of drowning, all-consuming, all-immersing" pg.55 Ch.4. Without transmissions, it's as if music loses its versatility; the strength to mean something. And thus, without meaning, how valuable can music be? To what extent does speed warrant meaning in a piece?]]> 2017-10-16 03:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasrichardson7/pnxgsa0y3kf0/wish/197205645 nicholasrichardson7 https://padlet.com/nicholasrichardson7/pnxgsa0y3kf0/wish/197212945 "Giving more than you need is an act of transmission."
- Ratliff pg.55 Chapter 4

He means this is the sense that we need to invest our hearing in order to engage into a moment of transmission. I agree with this statement as we focus our mental energy to piece together the information of the music we listen to. This draws in like water, sinking to it's bottom and trying to find the proper place to float as it takes us away. Let it be a quiet drift or aggressive sea storm.

This draws our a euphoric feeling and gives us an unprecedented power. This is especially prevalent around 2:45. ]]> 2017-10-16 04:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasrichardson7/pnxgsa0y3kf0/wish/197214222
