Ideally music is played as it is felt by an artist. It needs an artist to imbue it with passion to come to life. It starts with a musician acquiring knowledge of his craft and know the history of music. Once his mind becomes a library of music, he can then spontaneously create and fuse different genres at will. He knows, there is no thinking involved in playing. The artist is flowing aesthetically pleasing energies into space. A creative mind is really operating in the moment creating music. Certain genre of music, i.e. jazz is demanding knowledge and an ability to be just there playing in the moment. It is a free-flowing activity. It takes skills, an artist has to be relaxed, in the moment, to freely channelling. Clapton said he cannot play the same thing twice as he is that kind of artist playing in the moment. Keyboards players such as Steve Winwood, Billy Preston and Kim Carmon are those gifted by playing never the same twice. Each moment is different than the previous one. Through knowledge and jamming the artist is learning to flow notes as it comes to his mind in the instant. This instant is stretch as needed and wanted by the artist. Once upon the time, EC used to not rehearse at all so he can be in the complete moment playing. George Harrison really admired Eric to be deliver just like that. That is a skill Eric really admired from other musicians. This ability to improvise is taking music on a different scale altogether. Pop music is the opposite of creation. It repeats the same pattern as a stuck needle on a turntable.
Music is an aesthetic, an energy of some particularity. It is a creative art form that is dealing with fine and exquisite waves. Listening to a loud rock concert you won’t not think that the energy received by the audience could take them on a different, magical world where the living becomes so enjoyable. Besides the actual loudness of the amps, speakers, it is not the actual sound waves that cause so much enjoyment, but it is the otherworldly aesthetic wavelength that will provide a spiritual lift. The enjoyment of a concert is on its aesthetic waves.
There are different kind of energy at work here. Physical as with the sound system and spiritual as something you personally feel it that is out of this world. Having seen such a performance provided with a boast of fairy dust if you like. It had managed to disconnect you from the noise of this world. You did not have to do any thinking at all. You felt good. It is like a peace treaty between you and your fellow man. There is little peace in the soul of man. People think and had forgotten to feel for themselves and others. Music could provide a window to other worlds especially if the artist is playing in the moment. Being temporarily disconnect to the mind which oppose things on 24/7 is beneficial to all. It reboots the imagination and reconnect you with life in general.
If you haven’t found a music or a performer that manages to gently vibrate your soul to greater height. It is your chance to reconnect with yourself and put the noisy world on pause for a few minutes, at least. Aesthetic is not only in music but in heart. Some people referred to it as love, but it is limited as it embraces spiritual matters. It is especially found everywhere you dare to put it. In this time, where there is quantity upon quantity of bad news, putting something beautiful in this universe makes a difference.
