He still hasn't finished that? When it comes to ongoing projects and ambitions, my rule of thumb is to always down play the progress being made or even keep it a secret all together. Better to surprise people with a finished product than to leave them waiting on a stalled project.

As far as I know it's still being developed lol.

How hard can it be to make a meditation app? Doesn't really sound complicated to me.

Easy. Just play some Robert Rich.


http://www.factmag.com/2014/10/10/d...-story-of-robert-rich-and-the-sleep-concerts/

Snoozy listeners had the rare opportunity to participate in a Sleep Concert at last year’s Unsound festival in Poland, when Robert Rich hosted an overnight gig at Krakow’s communist-era Hotel Forum. Ahead of this year’s event on October 16, we’re republishing our interview with the man himself, who explains the meaning and origin of these near-mythical performances.

Rich elaborates on the theory underpinning the performances: “As we come to understand the nature of consciousness, we realise there are many different states when the mind is an a separated or internal state, but with a slightly open sensitivity to the environment, more so than REM sleep when we’re in a deep dream. We can have dreamlike experiences during hypnagogic states – well, hypnagogic and hypnopompic, which are the technical words for when you’re going into sleep and out of sleep.” These glacially paced performances were “intended to create such a state of silence that the brain’s own tendency to build words, becomes accentuated and we enter into a naturally hallucinogenic environment – the kind we enter into every night when we sleep. So as a person interested in psychophysiology and cognitive psychology, I found myself far more attracted to the natural states of consciousness, and to the idea that we are world builders by nature, that our consciousness is constantly creating the world we live in. It is a constructive – a constructed – environment.”

I'm not even sure what the idea is, aside from cashing in. I laughed pretty hard the first time I heard him talk about it. Like, really, guy?

The modern person experiences music in a passive manner most of the time, as background noise. There's no point in adding nuance if its going to go unnoticed by the passive viewers so the industry has trimmed the fat and zeroed in on what works.

Wasn't always like this, seems like music was a more active endeavor before. Not only in that many families played their own music together but even as an audience to a concert your full attention was on the music. I remember having to attend a concert for a music appreciation class in college, it was actually quite the pleasant experience. But classical music is hard taste to acquire in the modern world if you're not raised with it, seems like there's never enough time to devote the attention the genre deserves in today's fast paced world. Just easier to listen to a quick and shallow 4 minute pop beat.

I surely understand, and respectfully disagree. One need not see deeper, to recognize the waters have a serious undercurrent.

Let's pretend we are simple party guys and gals.

If my whole life is singing songs that venerate the night, partying late, and seizing the day while bouncing around to tribal beats, I may not understand I am being sold a deeper desperation and Nihlism in the now, but I am still seeking that now, and a few things are soaking in.

- All we have is tonight

- Find this love tonight

- We are going to die young (Which without irony is repeated at the loudest tempo) or if you prefer "this is as good as it gets!" or perhaps "these are the good old days" all that changes is the dose of the delusion.

Then I and my friends sing this anthems over and over, the lowest level of this philosophy is not going to effect my mood, my expectations from life, and my search for desires?

Ah, but my friend, please reconsider, because that is the purpose it is made for, the reason it exists.

It is not made as art, and not even made for entertainment, it is made to sell me something for the lifestyle, for the mood, and engineered to trigger that hunger for more of nothing.

To sell that environment and that lifestyle to me, to have me abandon everything for cheap thrills, and in immediacy to abandon a few dollars to buy this ode for nothing.

I am not only listening passively even if intellectually I am the least of men, I am consciously being sold cheap tricks.

Consider pornography, which I am sure that we all appreciate... the product is centered on you and I...

What is the focus?

On a hot, gorgeous woman with a big juicy ass and heaving tits. All right, that makes sense...

What about the guy? Is he a hot stud? Being a hot guy who appreciates male looks, I could not get why there were few hot guys in porn until starting to look.

Hot guy in porn? No, quite the contrary most times, because men are watching for -their- fantasy and if they see a good looking, tall, handsome man they will subconsciously be triggered and their pride riled by the intruder to their fantasy.

They want a lumpy, perhaps balding, average Joe who is rarely in the frame at all, and if he is, it will remind them of themselves.

Whatever focus is on the guy, it is on his package, as that package can be transferred without pride to the viewers libido.

That becomes the centerpiece - a gorgeous woman and a cock and balls (Your cock and balls, or mine, you or I become the mark, the object that is inserted, in this case literally.)

(Interesting aside - pornography is starting to be produced in Japan for women and the design changes. The boys are usually handsome and gentle, the girls are usually cute but not knock outs, and the whole pornography situation is told as more of a story, a real narrative with an emotional as well as hardcore XXX climax, as for a girl these things are as important as getting railed.)

It happens in sales, in story telling, or in politics.

The point is to give the experience to you whether getting our money, putting us in the action, or having us vote.

We may not notice at all if we are not looking to understand, we might understand at the start that something is "off" about so many situations in life, or we might look and see that all sorts of systems are designed to have us pursue empty corners and endless halls.

Maybe.

I am not against pornography either, but the question becomes, how much and how often? For a lot of young guys it turns to obsession, same as video games, same as their favorite t.v. show, the same as politics for some.

These ridiculous puppet shows are all around, they give us nothing, but in a primitive sense we seek them for satisfaction. By all means look, but know when to look away, and be curious about what might be a better vision for life.

Related when considering the lead singers lips.

Reminds me of Punky Meadows from Angel, which reminds me of Terry Bozzio's crush on his glossy publicity photo.

But you get Frank Zappa and his band, featuring Terry Bozzio, and a young Andrew Belew.

Warning really starts to rock out around the 7 minute mark.



You bet, sailor.
