Re: [microsound] "romantic feelings about music"

"i imagine i'm a victim of our hedonist days and hardly ever go back and

feeling towards music."

we live on a hurry, at least i do. even trying to be conscient about it, i
do. things happen so quick.

that romantic feeling was related to the fact of keeping something (in this
case, the music). I said to myself, what's the point of keeping stuff 'm not
going to listen to? every now and then (maybe once a year) my stock gets
filtered. just few kilobytes remain. space is expensive, and time even more.
hosting physical data at my place means rejecting space for my children to
play. totally eaten by materialism some may say.

that romantic feeling was stated because of the satisfaction of owning a
piece of art. satisfaction which i rejected.

specially nowdays, i tend to listen to music as a contemporary exercise
which life is short according to the way i see mine go by. i have many times
tried to go back and listen to what many big names in the history of music
have defined as 'most significant' and most of the times haven't been
further than boredom.

ignorant? avantgarde? idiot? victim? anxious?

whatever but sincere.

have a nice day.

btw: cHristian negre is the nick my parents decided. ;)
