BE! #4 File Under: "Waking Up To A Picture, A Scene, Consciousness"



I felt that I should post this latest idea of mine as a blog entry which expresses more or less what my View of Reality is, and more importantly I prove it is somewhat Musical, if not entirely as I believe it is. I think this piece will definitely compliment my Philosophy of Life that is why I want to keep track of it by immortalizing it here on my blogspace.

What started this? How did this come to be?

I should mention that, ever since I got involved with the actual experience of Writing, I have gained a sense of enthusiasm that I learned and felt it is Personal. It lead me, currently which is my theme, to wanting to understand the Nature of RealTime. Having learned the basics of Music Theory, it has helped me in capturing my Internal Musical Thoughts more clearly as compared to verbally articulating them and with not enough terms in my vocabulary.

Some writing experiments that I get into frequently are Transcriptions in/on the External World VS Recorded Music/Sounds VS Internal World. This particular entry is a blossomed germ of my regular experiment exercise Transcription on the Internal World.

Not so long ago, February or January 2014, I found myself in a thinking mood that I couldn't put myself to sleep. If I'm right, I was trying to figure out something that needs to be resolved so then I could feel more at peace that I would fall asleep. Interestingly, whatever it is, I wasn't able to record it in writing only until the next day. After my successful sleep, it fortunately resonated as I tried to deliver the message through performance to one of the friends I met lately. And as a reaction to my enthusiasm and curiosity, I played it again but to different audiences, casually.



I remember playing the unwritten idea to myself initially when I was thinking about it. What happened afterwards were all just reenactments of the original beta performance which is when I was in bed, eyes closed, blinking funnily and unusually to sleep.

What is this? What are the things that are involved in this figure that made me consider that it is a Musical Piece?

Visually speaking, Rhythm is present with simple note values and rests: Crotchet, Dotted Crotchet, Dotted Minim, Semibreve; Crotchet Rest and Dotted Crotchet Rest. Tempo is indicated, similar to the speed of the Clock's Tick-Tocks in seconds. Whole idea is presented in 4 Bars. Musical instrument and Color are somewhat indirectly indicated which are meant to exist that way for the purpose of not spoiling the whole presentation.

What are the things that should be kept in mind before trying to decipher what the main message is?
Subjects vary infinitely and uniquely relative to where the player is
Keep an Open Mind.
It is a 4-Bar play.
Ideally the reader is the Musician/Player, the Audience is his Mind.
The whole play may or not work for every audience that they would find it just a silly joke.
