You know, for as long as I can remember, being, a person, ke le motho --- I have found music, rather, uhm, a strange phenomena.
I mean, how does music actually work? There is a few sequence of vibrations, that generate sounds with varying frequences and amplitutes, right? Simple, mechanical process, right?
But,
How does it evoke, that illusive thing, that is inherently there, intrinsic(ly) valued, that we define as a 'person'?
How does it do it? How do those silly vibrations, frequencies and varying amplitudes do that to a vary organic matter, as a human?
I mean, there is nothing to being human, but a collection of molecules and stuff (read: too lazy to get into the chemical make up of human tissue).
How does music do it, how does it evoke, the soul (regardless if you believe in divine ideas or not), the being, the thing, the emotions?
You know, I think I have written somewhere in this 'book' about music, being a fantastic trigger of memory, but why? How?
I am disturbed, by it --- in a pleasant, yet, not so mind numbing, but thought provoking way.
I am amused, I suppose.
