The subject of narrative cognitive ‘transference’ lies at the heart
of ‘my relationship’ to creative music and physical universe perception,
and this subject has also helped shape the vibrational/intellectual and
spiritual ‘experiences’ that lie at the heart of my ‘aesthetic/life’s consciousness’
- concerning both what a given viewpoint ‘actualizes’ in itself (
with respect to what a given postulation signals about the ‘act’ of creativity)
and extending to include what that same postulat-ion signals about
necessarily related scientific/practical and vibrat-ional ‘correspondences’.
Narrative formal logic transference is a subject that extends into many
different areas of thought and dimension and transcends the domain of any
one discipline per say- (including ‘affinity-indentification’)- extending
instead to embrace ‘the fact of composite existence and experience’, and
the demonstrated wonder of ‘cosmic-change’. For me the subject of narrative
logic correspondences lies at the center of the ‘experiencing’ person and
the fact of consciousness. I believe the ‘challenge’ of this subject will
only increase in the coming period of profound geo-political re-alignment
(and world change). For the context of a given narrative-focus is not separate
from the community of values it takes place in. More and more, the challenge
of a dynamic ‘planet-realignment’ will force the ‘world-group’ to build
viewpoints based on a context of ‘constructs’ that have demonstrated clear
evolution ( form/change) equal to the theater of possibilities we now find
ourselves in ( from a composite perspective). It will be from this
vantage point where the challenge of new ‘trans-mythologies’ can be seeded.
The wonder of narrative logics in this context can be used to provide a
platform of measure-ment (identity) for individual to group realization
( with the hope for a positive planet-unification ‘state of being’ that
could extend from ‘shared-qualities’ myths to ‘target-myth’ structures).
But there is more here: because the dynamic implications of this subject
hints of a ‘network’ of ‘active-implications’ ( and ‘curiosities’). Implications
that go right to the center of present day viewpoints of cultural diversity
and ‘world-political balance’. It is for this reason that the fundamental
modes of communication (and ‘information transfer-ence’ models) in the
future will rediscover the significance of narrative based constructs.
This subject points to the genesis foundation of human experience and belief-
extending to include the vibrational ‘target-goal’ of hope for a more utopian
vision of reality). The serious of this subject extends into every layer
of our culture, and represents one of the fundamental challenges of this
time cycle.
The subject of narrative form-building and it’s role in creative music
is a complex subject that establishes at least four areas of ‘subject-focus’
that can be isolated for discussion, that being: 1) that the base nuclear
logic that defines cognition is a tri-centric thought unit that cannot
be properly transmitted ( or understood) without some inclusion of a ‘corresponding-
poetic’ logic (association/binder) that respects the experiences of the
‘living person’ (the actual ‘experien-cier’). 2) that narrative form building
is directly related to the form of evolution that produced the ‘modern-era’
and should not be discarded, 3) that the challenge of the next time
cycle transcends two-diminsional modeling constructs and instead calls
for a fresh unit of perception that recognizes target ‘sub-level experiences’
( that included intention, and ‘vibrational-spectra’). All of these matters
are related to the subject of narrative subject-transference. In the first
listed subject-inquiry area for discussion, I am referring to the discipline
of music as a ‘fundamental-experience’ that has direct relevance to narrative
modeling by nature of the what the ‘experience of listening’ is. My early
attraction to music was totally intertwined with the related narrative-associations
sub-experiences that took place in the actual process of listening. In
the beginning, I found myself attracted to the music of Mr. Chuck Berry
and Mr. Bill Haley- two virtuoso vocalist/guitarist who were among the
first to practice a music that would later become ‘Rock and Roll’. The
experience of hearing their music in the fifties would transform my life
and dreams and establish the fundamental posture (alignment) of my perception
of ‘sonic-activities’ as well as the experience of ‘vibrational identification
and time-perception’. Hearing music in this period would open my
imagination to new and strange ‘fantasy worlds’ that contained fresh experiences
and associations. From a vantage point of forty-nine years I can now see
the powerful sub-component implications of narrative logic transference
and the role this component has played in my aesthetic-experiences from
the very beginning. This is so, because the route of my ‘ear-volution’
was not separate from the beginning experience of ‘hearing a song’ that
I ‘liked’ - that, after a period of time I could maybe sing to myself-
(“because, somehow the ‘lyrics’ made me feel better, or maybe I liked the
‘message’ of the song (( but this was the fifties, the songs were not the
revolutionary kinds of songs we’ve grown accustomed to in this time period
- this was a more boy-girl ‘I’m in Love With You’ kind of thing: I am not
writing of political revelation or of ‘profound-harmonic’ transformation))
but rather, the opening experience of listening to music and affinity sonic-identification
). The popular musics of the 1950’s would be the beginning of my early
associations with conceptually intended sound experiences and it is also
here where the fundamental qualities of narrative transference can be traced.
Because the context of those associations (on it’s own plane) would become
a ‘sub-clause’ component experience in itself that would be a consistent
factor in my musical awakening - extending into every domain of cognitive
and vibrational experience. Yet I have not meant to describe my experience
as somehow unique in the cultural context of things- because this is not
the case. The experience of listening to music sets it’s own vibrational
balances in motion. All of these matters are part of the normal dynamics
of listening to creative postulation ( including association and projection).
In the beginning of my early listening experiences I was not actively aware
of the various scientific processes taking place in a given composition.
I only knew if I liked the music - “I liked it.”! My early experiences
of listening involved ‘the wonder of the sonic experience’ and the ‘intuitive’
awareness of similarities and differences as part of the ‘active-internal
energies’ that describe ‘animate sonic-postulation’ ( this is what I mean
by the mechanisms that encompass the hearing experience). My point is this:
that even in the beginning of the musical listening ‘encounter’ the friendly
‘listener’ is given a set of narrative associations that form the backdrop
of the ‘hearing experience’. The first most basic unit of recognition in
this context is the concept of melody. That is, the concept of melody as
the first unit of recognition for the average person ( of course, this
is not always the case, there are always exceptions, but my viewpoint for
this paper is based on the normal ‘opening-alignment’ that most of us bring
to listening). Music listening in the early period for me involved the
experience of hearing many different songs ( and needless to say, the television
and radio broadcast of that time period extended and adopted the same fundamental
‘proclivities’ of cultural architectonic recognition and elaboration (style/identity).
The reality of those experiences would find me listening to a song because
a) it reminded me of a lady that I liked, or day-dreamed about, b) or a
given song matched my emotional state in a way where I identified with
the song (ie. the lyrics, or a particular artist). But there was another
aspect related to this subject that would come to redefine and in effect
‘summarize’ the whole experience of listening ( as a tranformational experience),
and that aspect is the ‘urge’ that allows a person’s consciousness to ‘fuse’
with the narrative exposition of form. That is; narrative form logics as
the base fundamental construct that directs the mind’s consciousness through
the ‘available shades of meaning’ that the ‘friendly’ listener can experience.
By of end of the 1980’s, the progressional expansion of existential modeling
( melodic-target associations extending into sub-identity target
states that contained more diversified -and abstract structural relationships
strategies) finally lead into the current ‘lost of meaning and lost of
historic perspective’ predicament we now find ourselves in as a culture.
Somehow the modern era was suppose to lift us over the threshold of local
idiomatic recognition into a more advanced experience of ‘multiple operating’
creative active properties. The hope was that the evolution of structural
properties on it’s own plane could provide the kind of experiences that
would establish new levels of sonic-recognition/associations (structural
and ‘conceptual’ recognition) and for a moment those ideas seemed to hold
the promise of a future. But this was not to be the case.
The thirty year cycle that brought in post-modern conceptual challenges
( from the time period of the 1960’s) has if nothing else shown the dilemma
of existential modeling as an end to itself. More and more it is becoming
possible to see the difference between art experiences based on fundamental
constructs of recognition as opposed to the newer contemporary ‘elastic’
models that are couched in brilliant philosophical terms but somehow can’t
address itself to the ‘linear-sustained’ interest/attraction (associations)
that narrative architecture has long demonstrated. This to me is one of
the important challenges of the closing twentieth century- that is, the
need to re-establish restructural composite narrative structures that can
serve the need of our citizens in the next time cycle. Rather than simply
seek to throw everything from the past away - as if nothing from our recorded
experiences has any transferral relevance the challenge of the next time
cycle will call for fresh attempts to ‘merge’ a composite myth-narrative
base that can be both flexible and stable - according to the needs of the
‘experiencer’. The dynamics of abstract form consciousness /architecture
that started in the Romantic Period has ushered through a unique set of
possibilities that still has relevance to the future. In that context,
the concept of ‘poetic-logics’ architecture is an attempt to fuse the structural
logo of a given focus with a dramatic ‘under-sense’ that can allow for
ritual identification ( and alignment). It is through this ‘context
of balances’ where the ‘friendly experiencer’ has involvement with the
kind of associations that transcend two-diminsional structural recognition.
The exploration of structure and form on it’s own plane - without regard
for related metaphysics (correspondence logics) - will not be enough in
the future. Transformational art (and thinking) in the next time cycle
will call for the development of ‘stories/myth structures’ that have
universal application. This will be the beginning of the new ‘TRANS- IDIOMATIC’
experiences.
