Times They Are A-Changin'

I know I haven't made any serious posts on here besides my work yet, but now I am. Mike, if you could email me a copy of the print I'd love it. I did a reading at one of the places I work and it went pretty well. My bosses family was impressed anyways. I was thinking that it would be fantabulous if maybe I helped Will transcribe one of his songs to sheet music and add that another random piece of art (I may have privately mentioned this idea before and still support it). Will is an amazing guitarist and I'd love to see the sheet music for say, "I Want War", to appear in there. Assuming he has the patience to let me transcribe it, heh. I know I want my "Blue Bell Booth" piece in there. I also made some small edits to that, so if anyone wants to check it out and see if they see any improvements from them or if its the same I'd appreciate it. I think beyond all the work we're submitting for this we need to jointly write our professional-ish concepts of what we all view the synthesis movement as, or at least anyone who wants to play a key role. I know Will, Mike, and myself certainly would. We have been writing tidbits about it on here, but lets push for something really intense/descriptive because to someone not in know I think its partially confusing.

We should talk about how for example its not like certain things like post-modernism; which is that synthesis tries to state things as they ARE not as they are LIKE. This is to say that post modernism is still trying to relate this to that, even if its trying to say a bicycle describes the lymphatic system (which maybe its cyclical turning truly does!). Post modernism is the fourier transformation of movements/genres. Synthesis is the acceptance that nothing is as it seems, and everything is as well. Synthesis is Heisenberg uncertainty principle of concept and art and literature. It is born from a generation that is on information overload as Microsoft would say, but adaptable as the grey goo that will born from the technological singularity. It is the new transcendentalism of the time, born from its original homeland (New England) without the necessity of the divine. We are jumbled, coagulating, dispersing, collections of atoms. At the same time we hearts and minds and soul striving and empathizing and simply living. It is so subtle that taking the time to realize it is a feat. We are free thinkers and we are those believe that there will always be a choice, because inaction is still an action. We are not one area, or one person: we are a world in its wholeness, and further more we accept this without doubt or even caution. We are balls of effervescent fury and motion.

All possibilities are real. We are infinite for occupy our own time and space in life. Infinity itself is the homeostasis of the body of existing. For all we know, we are not life using technology, but technology toying with life. From energy to matter to energy, we are transcendental without going anywhere. Yet this does not overwhelm us, nor why would it? People exist constantly with a thousand things racing through minds, and I have Einstein to thank for reminding the world of its relativity. To space. To time. To feeling. To you and me and neither of us. One person tells me Martin Luther King was a miracle man, and another says a plagiarist and adulterer. They argue pointlessly because they are both right, but their supreme arrogance blocks either from realizing this. But we realize this, and that is why we come together, because we realize that there is no such thing as good or bad, there just is things, matter, life. There are no real perversions in life, only many differences at once, keeping balance- apoptosis and birth. We can just as ebonic as grammatical, for nothing can truly deny another thing in the realm of the mind. Truth is merely 99% popular belief. One man's red is another man's blue is another woman's light quatum at the angle of incidence.

The point of this and the way its written is the same point in minimalism in contemporary classical music: through repetition, a deeper understanding of the melody is born out, a more precise and hopefully equally intriguing and pleasurable. A harmony of metaphors to benefit the reader is my goal. I was not actually intending to write this all when I started, but I'm curious what you all think. Lets have another group meeting as soon as possible. Maybe since your not here Mike (unless your coming back?) we could do a video conference between you and Will and I, and anyone else who would like to get involved. Just an idea anyways.
