The thing that makes discordion music so, um, stunning to hear is that
its players are distinctly NOT muscially inclined. I mean In CLYNEd.

I am musically inCLYNEd. This disqualifies me from the discordion.
This is discomfitting.
Dismissed.

Ah, thanne. Welcome to my sandbox. It helps to sit down, relax, and grab a
handfull. Sifting sand. The grains are ideas, or worlds, or just cigars.

Vsclyne ceremoniously dumps himself into his unretired
sandbox. (That sounds like "auto-dumping." Hmmm, is
this related to auto-eroticism the way dumping is related,
at least for me recently, to eroticism? Is this the
ultimate unceremous dump?)

How does taking a dump fit into all this?

That was a surprisingly unladylike comment. Thanne,
your dimensions are multiple.

I am informed that <bunn> is a musician and
composer, as am I. How has it taken so long
for us to get together? How do musicians
communicate in this silent medium? Does
<bunn> give accordion lessons?
These are all important philosophical questions.
Life is complex.

I've heard that bunn relays her accordion music through her midi, then
notates same with horribly expensive software, then chops up the hard
copy, pours spaghetti sauce on it, throws it up against the wall and
sees that it is a vast improvement over the original.

(I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me, and my
fiddle.)

Only accordion-playing in public would be unfaithful. Fiddling is okay.
Especially if it's done in an accordionesque manner.

I just read "Music and the Mind" by Anthony Storr. I recommend it
on its own merits (an enjoyable compendium of very bright thinkers
trying to put music into words), but also because the final chapter
accurately summarizes the metaphysics I was trying to develop earlier
in this topic. (It might have been fun to have been original, but it
is a lot less work reading it elsewhere.)

Might be less fun to read it elsewhere, but it's nice to have an affirm-
ation.
How did it summarize, Shannon?

It summarized in what was a few pages in print, but too many screens
for polite cybersation, leaning heavily on Schopenhauer and Nietzsche,
with liberal doses of Jung and Heiddeger, while convincingly
eschewing Plato. (I guess you could say it was a German thing.)

Yeah -- your Prussians just *can't* get along with the Greeks. (In truth,
Plato annoys me eventually as well.)
