(Bolt-hole is open for business) Practically every post you have submitted over the last few weeks has criticised PA's modus operandi, it's collaberators and members and attempts to undermine their motives for the work they do around here. You are of course perfectly entitled to voice your misgivings about our views and opinions as you see fit, but are you going to feign surprise that such unstinting and relentless criticism just may rub some selfless, well intentioned and hard working folks up the wrong way? You have been a member for 4 years and have submitted precisely 2 reviews. All I get from your posts Moshkito is that you appear to be a frustrated artist. Please don't take out your thwarted ambition on the undeserving souls round here thankyou.<br>]]>

I don't need you, since they all canuse the help as much as possible and you basically have them over the coals ... but no ... you would rather go after me, because I am not famous (whatever) and thus my validity is limited to your own idealism and anything written here is automatically wrong.

I can't even write a rock'n'roll song, because all I want to do sometimes is scream, shout, whisper, love, hate ... the same as Peter Hammill does because it is almost all about the feeling in his work and a lot less about the music itself ... but no one talks about that ... they talk about the "progressive" this or that. I actually think that it scares people to get that strong about how you feel ... and most quit ... the reason why there are so few "real" people in the arts!</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>I can write poetry, ad lib, to stuff I can flow and meander with on my keyboards. I think that right now it is too raw and probably sound like something that Patti Smith did before she got "in tune" ... so to speak ... but, it's not about the "tune" or anything else ... it's about the "stream of consciousness" that creates the words in the first place, and I do that easy ... almost same as writing here ... it's all visual for me, so someone disagreeing is weird, because this or that was never the preocupation when it was written in the first place and this is the same joke about Ian's thread, that some don't like! And it explains why giving you a real life movie of the creative process, can never be "progressive" for a board like this ... it's not mechanical! ... and the thread got removed to the generic thread! When the process itself is highly progressive and was also used in Europe and by King Crimson!</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>But this is a "commercial" board ... so tabs it is, because it is all folks can learn and do? ... now you know that the music will hardly be good enough and both you and I will laugh at it and give it some kind of designation that basic states ... that ain't music! Pretty soon there is a new "style" ... I call it the NY Lounge Lizard Jazz Kings!</DIV><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by moshkito - November 23 2011 at 17:09</span>]]>

"You", which was immediately mis-understood.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"></font>&nbsp;</div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">And as Krautrock and a lot of other music, sometimes you are not lloking for The Beatles, or Joe Tex, or anyone else ... try to make sense of Tales and that ... and you will know that Jon was being more polite with the person he was talking to and saying it in a way that is easier to understand ... and eventually, he became his own person and talent ... or he would not even be mentioned.</font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"></font>&nbsp;</div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><table width="99%"><tr><td class="BBquote"></font></div><div><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">And "just be better than the others" is horrific advice for musicians.</font>&nbsp; <img src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley21.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Down" title="Thumbs Down" /><br><span ="bold"=""><a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/j/j&#111;nanderso329951.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a></td></tr></table></span></div><p><span ="bold"="">The point was to suggest that you have to stop comparing yourself to the mirror of others ... so you can find YOURSELF. If you can find yourself in the midst of it all, you won't need that mirror any more ... and you will simply figure out how you want to express yourself and do it.</span></p><p>That is the "trick" and the "secret" of all arts. And the main reason why I spend so much time inviting people to experiment and learn different things, because in the end, you find a contrast that can help you define your very own musicianship ... because otherwise the paper score is MASTER ... and you are but a slave to the feeling that someone is creating for you to play in the first place. (Or the notes and chords). </p><p>It's a very tough area, but teachers like you, that obviously have a fabulous ear for even more music and expressions in musical form, is someone that I would have loved to meet and take musical instruction from (and WOULD EVEN TODAY) ... so my younger sister played Harp (yeah the big one is at our house in Santa Barbara) with the SB Symphony, and she was far and above them and could play with eyes closed and no score ... and I told her that if she really wanted to work on that she should try and go play with some jazz folks and some rock folks, to help get even further ... she just gave up playing music when she was dissatisfied with the Symphony and a life of nursing was more interesting! </p><div>As a famous mystic once said ... "potential is crap" ... and I would add ... "and a bad teacher!"</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Lots of good when the music has nowhere to go is my point ... and you have, sometimes, to break out ... and the only way to break out is learning something about yourself and your instrument, and that part does not have as much to do with you or I ... or anything else you know or taught ... think of it this way ... despite everything you taught, and said, the kid still left home to make his own life! ... </div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I look at it this way ... is this instrument about me ... or about some thing that is "out there" ... that is visionary at best? It's the same thing as a writer for me. The minute I worry about the comparison, instead of what I SEE inside, the poem stops, the life of that "moment" is over, and the writing is done. Unfinished. Forever.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>YOU are a person attempting and helping translate that vision and dream, and I have the utmost appreciation for that ... because there is no expression in the history of human kind that has forever been more important ... and it's not "words" ... it's music, and you and I know it!</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>If those folks are "ash_____" then it's not about the music for them either ... it's about their ash! ... Or money! ... choose your weapon!</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Yeah, I had the pleasure of having met Isaac Stern and Yehudi Menuhin, and those folks were not only masters, they were teachers ... and they knew we were just studying the history of arts, but Yehudi, was saying to us, how important it was that we knew the history of it all and how far it all has come, and how our abilities adnn perceptions came alive and changed all we knew and know and would like to know ... Isaac was more about the music itself, but Yehudi, probably had gained massive insight to his experiments with Ravi Shankar ... where several folks after the concert in Chicago, were saying ... oh my word ... all that improvisation can't be called "music" ... and that is a true story, and when we asked Isaac about that he laughed ... "nothing you can do ... some love the music and some don't ... and for people like us ... we just stick with the music and do not worry about anything else!"</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This stuff I have not placed in a book yet ... because it is not the time and place, and folks like yourself are not believing in the "miracle" of the music itself ... </div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Sorry Ep ... I love what you do and have an awesome respect for your patience, love and desire ... but I am also a writer and a part of a literary tradition and I live for the internal vision and work, and basically you are saying I am an a****le and the vision isnot worth it ... and I have given you every bit of my soul to express and explain everything I "see" and "know" ... and it is not in a book. Actually it is, but right or wrong, if has more in parity with the Surrealists and a Jean Cocteau than ... "progressive music"! But I wonder if that is too far and bizzare for most folks to get and understand ... it would require a lot of reading and studying ... as much if not more than you request of your students!</div></td></tr></table><br><br><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">What do I do that you love?&nbsp; Besides posting<br><br><table width="99%"><tr><td class="BBquote"><strong><em>Originally posted by Epignosis</strong></em><br /><br /><br>tl;dr?</font><br></td></tr></table><br>]]>

"You", which was immediately mis-understood.</FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman"></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">And as Krautrock and a lot of other music, sometimes you are not lloking for The Beatles, or Joe Tex, or anyone else ... try to make sense of Tales and that ... and you will know that Jon was being more polite with the person he was talking to and saying it in a way that is easier to understand ... and eventually, he became his own person and talent ... or he would not even be mentioned.</FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman"></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman"><table width="99%"><tr><td class="BBquote"></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">And "just be better than the others" is horrific advice for musicians.</FONT>&nbsp; <img src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley21.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Down" title="Thumbs Down" /><BR><SPAN ="bold"><a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/j/j&#111;nanderso329951.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></A></td></tr></table></SPAN></DIV><P><SPAN ="bold">The point was to suggest that you have to stop comparing yourself to the mirror of others ... so you can find YOURSELF. If you can find yourself in the midst of it all, you won't need that mirror any more ... and you will simply figure out how you want to express yourself and do it.</P><P>That is the "trick" and the "secret" of all arts. And the main reason why I spend so much time inviting people to experiment and learn different things, because in the end, you find a contrast that can help you define your very own musicianship ... because otherwise the paper score is MASTER ... and you are but a slave to the feeling that someone is creating for you to play in the first place. (Or the notes and chords). </P><P>It's a very tough area, but teachers like you, that obviously have a fabulous ear for even more music and expressions in musical form, is someone that I would have loved to meet and take musical instruction from (and WOULD EVEN TODAY) ... so my younger sister played Harp (yeah the big one is at our house in Santa Barbara) with the SB Symphony, and she was far and above them and could play with eyes closed and no score ... and I told her that if she really wanted to work on that she should try and go play with some jazz folks and some rock folks, to help get even further ... she just gave up playing music when she was dissatisfied with the Symphony and a life of nursing was more interesting! </P><DIV>As a famous mystic once said ... "potential is crap" ... and I would add ... "and a bad teacher!"</DIV><DIV></SPAN>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Lots of good when the music has nowhere to go is my point ... and you have, sometimes, to break out ... and the only way to break out is learning something about yourself and your instrument, and that part does not have as much to do with you or I ... or anything else you know or taught ... think of it this way ... despite everything you taught, and said, the kid still left home to make his own life! ... </DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>I look at it this way ... is this instrument about me ... or about some thing that is "out there" ... that is visionary at best? It's the same thing as a writer for me. The minute I worry about the comparison, instead of what I SEE inside, the poem stops, the life of that "moment" is over, and the writing is done. Unfinished. Forever.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>YOU are a person attempting and helping translate that vision and dream, and I have the utmost appreciation for that ... because there is no expression in the history of human kind that has forever been more important ... and it's not "words" ... it's music, and you and I know it!</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>If those folks are "ash_____" then it's not about the music for them either ... it's about their ash! ... Or money! ... choose your weapon!</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Yeah, I had the pleasure of having met Isaac Stern and Yehudi Menuhin, and those folks were not only masters, they were teachers ... and they knew we were just studying the history of arts, but Yehudi, was saying to us, how important it was that we knew the history of it all and how far it all has come, and how our abilities adnn perceptions came alive and changed all we knew and know and would like to know ... Isaac was more about the music itself, but Yehudi, probably had gained massive insight to his experiments with Ravi Shankar ... where several folks after the concert in Chicago, were saying ... oh my word ... all that improvisation can't be called "music" ... and that is a true story, and when we asked Isaac about that he laughed ... "nothing you can do ... some love the music and some don't ... and for people like us ... we just stick with the music and do not worry about anything else!"</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>This stuff I have not placed in a book yet ... because it is not the time and place, and folks like yourself are not believing in the "miracle" of the music itself ... </DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Sorry Ep ... I love what you do and have an awesome respect for your patience, love and desire ... but I am also a writer and a part of a literary tradition and I live for the internal vision and work, and basically you are saying I am an a****le and the vision isnot worth it ... and I have given you every bit of my soul to express and explain everything I "see" and "know" ... and it is not in a book. Actually it is, but right or wrong, if has more in parity with the Surrealists and a Jean Cocteau than ... "progressive music"! But I wonder if that is too far and bizzare for most folks to get and understand ... it would require a lot of reading and studying ... as much if not more than you request of your students!</DIV><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by moshkito - November 22 2011 at 21:32</span>]]>
