One of which is that the state of the listener is as important to transmission as the music and the music making. <br /><br />In a great post on "flow" here:<br /><br />http://beingmusicalbeinghuman.com/2012/04/16/music-made-for-peak-perception/<br /><br />one point made is that, "One of the conditions of the flow state is a balance between the challenge of a task and one’s skill in carrying it out."<br /><br />Maybe "music of the mind" is more about being hip than being challenged, which would make it more apt to become viral.<br /><br />Was reminded that either Gurdjieff or Ouspensky made fun of the chew a 100 times fad, saying basically that if you don't challenge the stomach, what's it going to do when you really need it, say in old age.Lyle Sanford, RMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312150272934828223noreply@blogger.com
