" Musicians and other creative people stuff themselves into molds not of their own making, partially for social and economic reasons, mostly because deviation from classical patterns takes real inspiration." The almighty in both cases.
Can it be heard beyond ones own musing then? Are you saying this alluded music of the spheres is only ever an attempt at music? :-D I won't be at the cotton eye joe, the macarena, or the hampster dance. lol
I wasn't referring to musica universalis. Far from thinking on fashions or flavors the sounds in my mind just come to me.
Maybe everything we've ever heard is all only attempts at music....perhaps we've never heard music... yet
Nah, we've heard music, just not all music. That's great. While you're dancing with yourself there in the silence I hope you don't mind music being made audible by the rest of us. :-D
I know of no finer example of "underground" music from the period in question as this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW68l98KktQ
Thanks for the OP Draw. I'm unclear if you think today's hippies are different or if it's history trying to repeat itself. Nevermind, the important thing is, there are a lot of people around these days who can be said to have at least some hippie values. And, as you've discovered, there is a vibrant underground music scene. Isn't that incredible! I'm involved in putting on small (200-300 people) psytrance events twice-yearly, mostly in the forest way out in the country as well as a few smaller events. Sometimes I'll be sitting somewhere off to the back of the dance floor, tripping, sonic waves, beautiful people, whatnot, and think, I can't believe I'm here! I can't believe there are so few older people knowing about these scenes. I've been going to 6-8 festies a year for the past 3 years. Personally, I've seen very little police presence at these small events or at larger ones such as Sonic Bloom, Unify, etc. I'm listening a lot to Solar Fields, Aes Dana, H.U.V.A. Network. Really cool for you and me both that we found this!
Tough shit . If it's electronic, and made for dancing, it qualifies. No matter whatever else is assocuiated with the 'genre' :-D I'm not sure how I feel about musicians who feel for how they may be categorized musically . lol
