Inviting Collaboration

In a remarkable display of independent solidarity and either because or in spite of a defiance of the Modern Day Arts Marketing & Promotion mindset, musicians & the Yugenauts* gathered at Noh Space for a one-day introduction & overview of the Noh form and the place of music within its 700 year framework. Can disparate disciplines merge to create viable, relevant art? Can a whole be greater than the sum of its parts? Does it even want to? None of those questions were answered or even addressed. Instead we learned a helluva lot about an ancient dance/ritual art form, ate sandwiches, listened to the rain and blithely tossed about such hot button topics as "binaural brainbeats" & something about loading the super low end of the audio frequency spectrum with two closely positioned tones for the express purpose of creating a third, and lower, fundamental note that can thereby (I want to be part of this research team) effect changes upon the mental/cognitive state of the human mind.

My kind of afternoon.
