THE PROCESS OF CREATING MUSIC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Musical Sovereignty in the Inner-Tonal Planetary Systems |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The artistic mastery over the mechanics of overtones in the inner-tonal planetary system lies in mastering the rhythmical appearance of the individual overtones in an integrated manner. |
The Polyrhythmic Structure of the Overtones |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With the dynamic and rhythmical control over the spectra of overtones, the musician can immeasurably increase the listener’s awareness of space and time. |
Increasing the Listener’s Awareness of Space and Time |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the overtone-mechanics, the spatial distance between the successively appearing overtones, as well as the time flow of each individual overtone, is governed by the logic of the composition. Through this creative mastery over the inner dynamics of the spectrum of overtones the sound is systematically enlivened from within. |
Creative Mastery over the Sound Spectrum |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Through this integrated, dynamic control of the differentiated appearance of individual overtones of a sound in a world of different timescales, and towards true simultaneity, towards a reality beyond space and time the compositional logic organizes, by means of the overtone-mechanics, the multiple structure of the space-time relationship from mortality to immortality. |
Musical Exertion of Power beyond Space and Time |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
On the level of the musical sound-space the composer demonstrates to the listener the mental control over space and time. Even in this outer shell of the actual music, the classical musician, with his virtuosity, captures unboundedness and inspires us music lovers towards inner mental-spiritual freedom. |
Meaning and Purpose of the Artistic Control over the Instrument |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The integrated control over the overtone-mechanics, the inner structure of the “tone”, enables a fusion of time and space on the level of consciousness, and thereby generates a state of balance and timelessness in the infinity of our musical imagination. |
