    I could not comment on your other site, about the article ” A 5 Speaks of Music, the Enneagram, and Infinity”

    so I will do it here!

    Nice article. I wanted to tell you an idea I had some time ago about music. It is as if the brain is tracking various aspects of it subconsciously. Like tracks. And yet only some parts seem to dart into consciousness in the moment. What triggers that I will need to think a little more about, perhaps analysing some music to see will be best.

    You know what’s like with our types, we have a feeling for an idea, and find it hard to put into words. I’ll do more thinking on it, not touched this idea for some time!

  2. Andrew Says:

    It is almost as if the past can be re-invented by a new section of music.

    And music reminds me somehow of conversations with people. Some guy comes in and puts his word in. Whether this is a side effect or is key to how music works – I am not yet sure.

    Music could be SO complex. There could be all kinds of conceptual experiences it is reminding us of, and re-creating. Visual, experience, emotional. That’s my best answer at the moment.

    Hi Andrew,
    Any ideas about music lately?
    My head is swimming with music.
    I’ve been playing Mozart violin/piano sonatas.
    They’re so great. I didn’t know #11 before. Operatic.

    Yeah, a person could NEVER analyze music really. They think they do, but….
