As
for the reason for this silence, I wasn't in an optimal position in
my personal life for a while. I had also been developing certain
writing standards that were getting too high in my mind. I am not a
native English speaker and the language will therefore always be what
it is but this is not a scientific language blog. I hope it might be
closer to a microsociological music blog: a blog about how music
influences a person's everyday life.
Music
means communication between the artist and the listener as well as
between music fans. There might also be some interesting factors in
the process of making music, group dynamics etc. However, I don't plan to write
comprehensively but perhaps focus on some things I find interesting.
For
enthusiasts like me music is not just something you casually listen
to. Instead, music affects our perception of the world and some of
our choices. People usually act with free will and music is a factor
that people use to actively construct reality for themselves. Music
is of course used in many ways and for many purposes but I intend to
focus mainly on the personal experience, as I have done before.
There
is one problem, still. During the past year or so I have hit a wall
many times trying to discover new favorites. I used to have
a new favorite almost every week or month in the past but now it
seems that discovering new music is becoming a bit more like an
unpleasant chore. So, usually it is most profitable to follow the
path of your old favorites.
Most
importantly, now I feel like writing about music again. Writing often
inspires deeper reflections than a conversation, and therefore you
might capture something you otherwise wouldn't.
One
last thing. Whenever I ask people, what new music they would
recommend, they don't seem to have any idea, even though they
definitely have strong opinions about music and many favorites.
Perhaps someone here on the Internet might have an idea.
