Post Subject: Poisoning of consciousness or Where the love has gone?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 2/17/2008

Paul, this in a way reminds the everlasting question “Where love has gone”. You said very nice: “when the electricity is good the Sound is the purest expression of the Music”. Then, when  electricity turns bad what happens to Music? Well, nothing happen to music, the music is still there. What I think is affected is out perception of sound as our senses got saturated with processing and filtration of unnecessary, and in some case alien, for our cognitively data. It reminds me as when I was learning to receive higher-speed Mors Code the people who trained me stroboscoped lights in the room and injected in into room the beeps from multiple feeds at different frequency.

It you are interested on the subject how “information” might be contaminated masked out or even reverses value then you might read Claude Shannon’s Information theory. Very briefly and ugly superficial: the Information theory presumes that a message of information travels from sender to destination via a communication tunnel. In the communication tunnel the message got contaminated by particles of tunnel’s language. Some of the contamination partials are alien to message and they juts coexist and co-travel in the tunnel, some of the partials partially got mixed with the message, altering the message value.  If to continue develop the Shannon’s theory (it was what I did) applying it to a reproduction of the spiritual ingredient of sonic nuisances then it might be seen that killing of a musical core after external playback condition have changed is just a presents of addition information that should not be there. Do not forget that a corrupted sinusoid is not just because of some “abstract distortions” but just a presence of other micro-sinusoids with different amplitude and different wavelength…
