Sounds fill the mind. We met years ago, but Mike Cirillo's work on "Toward Musical Self-Actualization" shifted my approach to music and continues to bedrock my sound training. He writes: "One may wish to find a place where one will not be disturbed. One may wish to be aware of breathing. One could use these etudes to locate and release tension. One could use these etudes to explore how notes function within and interact with the triad. How do you feel about these sonorities? What do they do to your brain? One could use these etudes to explore potential roles for sonorities within improvisations. One could use these etudes to explore and sensitize oneself to intonation. One could use these etudes to wander the neck. One could use these etudes to explore fingerings. One could use these etudes to explore tone. One could use these etudes to explore process. One could use these etudes to explore physicality and sensations. One could use these etudes to explore cognitive process. You cannot make a mistake if process is the goal." Please download the book: http://www.fiddlermike.com/Mike-Cirillo-Learn/Mike-Cirillo-Toward-Musical-Self-Actualization.pdf And explore his work: http://www.fiddlermike.com/Mike-Cirillo-Learn/Mike-Cirillo-Learn.htm His Zen Waves downloads are rad and make excellent practice sounds and sleep preparations. Sing the tones, play the notes, explore sound. #sound #fiddlermike #michaelcirillo #zenwaves #sonorities #tune #selfactualization #music
