…. I had to throw out all sorts of preconceived ideas about how music actually works. Since then I've gradually tried to re-rationalise some of it... not always very successfully. To me, Janacek is like a compilation of all those 'special Mozart phrases' where he sums up the universe with a moment of genius. Nothing is unimportant - everything is chocked with meaning.



I find when I discover a new 'it' - I then find/feel it all over the place. And as a complete Haydn nut, I think I've seen new meanings for some of his 'folksy' ways too - after immersing myself in Janacek's 'on an overgrown path' (a huge great towering masterpeice!) Great music works on us backward and forwards….

What is important to note that “it” also exists in the realm of pure Audio as a sole awareness of audio language – the language by which our playback systems talk with our listening experiences? The 99.999999999999% of audio participants do not know about it or have no developed skills to practice “it” in a deliberate or audio-meaningful fashion.
