…. 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.
