Solitude Impressionist


Recommended Posts

Composing music is a solitude, a lonely act, life ultimately is a solitude act too, so is death.

I was pondering my life and divorce. Went to bed early at nine, woke up at half past two with a melody in my head. Now at seven I am tired, but I have a whole day in front of me, sadly though not alone, but with a solicitor. 🤣

Glad it does not offend ears. 🤣 I watched a film the night before "Hara Kiri"

While filming, Tatsuya Nakadai was afraid during most of the sword and spear fighting scenes because real swords were being used, a practice now forbidden in Japanese films. His concern was not alleviated even though professional swordsmen were employed during the choreographed swordplay.

The sadness of the story still had me gripped I suppose. I have no idea about meditation or yoga, but used to study Aikido with Katsuaki Asai Sensei, later on then Iaido and both are in a way a very "meditative activity" in my world, which perhaps is a incomplete hence unfit description.

Most of my cues are head-cinema improvisations only while I struggle to kick my ass to finally, after a year now, become more professional in my use of Logic, mainly because I am always distracted by just improvising the moment I start a with a blank sheet.

The blank sheet in Logic is a little like the Katana before it's drawn, you only draw it when you are absolutely certain about your intention. The intention in my case is a picture on my mind that I try to "strike down" so to speak, before I forget it again, which is a regular occurrence. I suddenly have a musical picture on my mind, and often enough the next day I can not remember it anymore.

Such a strange thing that human brain is.

Have we much advanced as human beings, as social human beings, the past few centuries? We are capable to send a telescope precisely to hit Lagrange 2 solar orbit, we sent two space ships  now in interstellar space, but as social human beings we are still trapped in mindsets that are  centuries if not millennia old.
