All of this was enjoyable, but I especially loved the discussion on how music affects us and the difference between a passionate performance & a mechanical performance. I think that's what makes all art powerful. It has to come from some place within the performers heart in order to touch the audience's soul. It can't always be stiffly rehearsed, and done in a 'step by step' fashion, because most of art is chaotic & emotional, that's what makes it so expressive. Enjoyed learning about the different parts of the brain related to the creation of art as well. A++

Skye M I’ve always wondered why people thought Rihanna was so great, especially in that “Umbrella” (annoying) song. She’s cute and pretty and all but sounds like what you describe... dronelike. She snorts cocaine so.

I've had a creative block right now due to ptsd. This is soooooo interesting. 🎨🖌️🖼️👩‍🎨

[@ratswithshivs]

I was in a block due to my CPTSD, but I think I’m coming out of it! How is your art going?

[@fauna3989]

[@softgrace]

good one, very informative...that is why our elders said music is divine ..and can do wonders

[@Robert-dt3is]

Wait a minute...so the more emphatic you are as a person, chances are the more intense you are able to “feel” the performance?

[@RareTechniques]

Per definition, yes.

[@opticalmixing23]

These works of art are solid

An article in the NewYork Times about WILLIAM UTERMOLEN; het was diagnosed dementia. Every year he made a selfportrait. This is in Dutch but you can see wat has happened with this artist. www.hpdetijd.nl/2014-08-10/ontroerende-zelfportretten-van-een-kunstenaar-met-alzheimer/

[@SaBiNuKi]

What about Picasso? Did he also suffer from disease? According to his self-portraits evolution, it's should be the same case.

[@karlthomas8031]

+SaBi NuKi That was a conscious stylistic shift over time as opposed to an underlying neurological disorder.

[@selcukaslan86]

to my opinion, Picasso has not any mental disorder, he was very ambitious and has some narsistical personality features. which was very common among famous artists.

This shows just why 12 tone serial music failed.

[@RingOfRae]

+DHewson Piano ... of course it failed, but that is old news, and serialist where the first ones to realise it and acknowledge it. But please, when you listen to Murail, Harvey, Grisey and Lachenmann or even Sciarrino, do not dare calling that "12 tone serialism" because it is not, and I hope I am not giving you a lesson here. Serialism was needed, but Stockhausen, one of the main figures of serialism, did not only do integral serialism music, he did many other things, he almost did everything. Boulez wrote some of the more important and advanced integral serialism pieces, but did not pursue on this way after having achieved those works. He was as well one of the more important figures of that approach, but he was maybe the first one to recognise the failure in one of his theory books. The only one of those figures that percisted, probably more due to ideological reasons, was Luigi Nono. But yes, serialism could only fail, and it was Xenakis that pointed the failure to come before it came. Yes, Xenakis was never into serialism... The reason it failed is because it does not take in account the phenomena of resonance, this is not the case of course, of spectral music, which is also old news, yet it still has a lot to offer. Nonetheless, there are a few work of pre-serialism and even tough serialism that still very interesting experiences, from a performative point of view, I am thinking about Webern and of course Stockhausen's Klavierstucke. And you can try as well some of the post-serialism hyper written works by Ferneyhough... quite a challenge for both the performer and the listener... cheers !
