    Although I've lose faith on movies for a long time. That doesn't mean I didn't watch movies at all. It's pretty much the only source of image-based thinking I could take from outside world? (apprantly this type of thinking doesn't really that matter…)

    I didn't find any point in wildly blending classical or modern tracks like this. They may be trying to show a continuation of the spirit or mixed spirit, a conversation that transcends time and space etc.
    But it's like giving someone a corrupted TXT version (ocr) of a PDF, but not the original (images combined). This is not even a complete BWV 988, they actually extracted all the variations in multiples of three…?

    I went to Indonesia to see gamelan performance when I was a child, but the exact memory has been hidden and maybe impossible to find. Being attracted to the "shimmering" Javanese court music is really the call of homesickness.

    >Gamelan instrument stands have a nine-part structure, and the designs on instrument cases and gongstands often comprise a pictorial mandala (that is, a pictorial rather than geometric image of the cosmos). The carved flowers and vegetation represent the lotus and tree of life in the upper-world. Images of the protectors of shrines and temples are carved into the centers and ends of many instruments, indicating that where the musicians sit is sacred space where no evil spirits may enter. Along the bottoms of cases, profiles of crows, representing Garuda, the sacred sun eagle, guard the corners. The bottom center is carved with blossoms, fallen on the ground like votive flower offerings, and it is studded with snails representing the earth but also the sea, the underworld of the spirits.

    >Gamelan music is a mandala in sound, a musical re-creation of the cosmos, played on instruments which comprise a visual mandala. These exquisite layers of meaning place the gamelan traditions of Indonesia among the world's most powerful and beautiful musical traditions.

    Plainly, Dionysian unconsciousness in its collective form is different from Dionysian unconsciousness that is differentiated and localized in an individual - so that an individual is in himself a people, a civilization, an order in its totality. For this differentiation to happen, Apollonian discipline is first needed, since it is Apollonian discipline, rationality, or consciousness, that differentiates.
    Herd mentality when structured externally at least can maintain a superficial civilization (as in the case of Japan), but unstructured it will be pure, undifferentiated, barbarism.
    Nietzsche was entrenched in a structured, disciplined herd, and he wanted individuals to be in contact with the Dionysian, the potential for greatness, so he needed to break the chain that bounds the individuals first. But his doing so, for herds, merely let undifferentiated Dionysian unconscious take control.

    Can we say that only the Apollonian has the capacity to calmly accommodate a Dionysian state, or, this Apollonian is already a combination of the two, but the Apollonian is predominant, the other is hidden. The Apollo reborn from the ashes of Dionysus, Dionysus was the initial state and Apollo would be its evolution. And the Dionysus that is folded in the Apollonian, is a individualized Dionysus, "differentiated and localized in an individual".
    >I say that like all pagan gods Dionysus - and his other manifestations like Bacchus - is just an internal function or force, constituing and working inside a pagan cosmic order, that can be put into abstraction as ‘the liberating force’. No matter what kind of ’liberation’ he brings, he just ’liberates’, and that is his sole function and purpose.
    This 'liberation' is only momentary,"in a flash of immanent happiness", like Voegelin said. Belongs to human, and rising from Nous, but it's not Nous.
    I have a question of all of these though, isn't Dionysus the most special or "unique" of all the pagan gods?

    I need some distinction. In the quote, when I was speaking about the Dionysian, I wasn't speaking in the framework that puts the Apollonian and the Dionysian side by side. It was in the context of a broadly comparative-mythology-oriented characterization of the Dionysian. I wasn't speaking about Nietzsche's distinction, since his concept of the Dionysian can only be understood in the tension that arises from the dualism of the Apollonian and the Dionysian - since
    > Apollo's classic Greek power to create measured and harmonious beauty is endlessly assailed by the drunken frenzy of Dionysus threatening to smash everything the sheer, the sheer tension the energy the tinge of madness, the supernatural powers that emerge […]
    and this all presupposes that this drunken frenzy is happening inside a single individual, and further, in conflict with the Apollonian. It can be said that the Dionysian is like matter, substance, and the Apollonian bestows form to the matter.
    For Nietzsche herd mentality was really what Kierkegaard criticized, it is, so to speak, Japanese mentality. Even if he thought about a violent mob, it wasn't his concern after all, since the world he was living in was so too superficially civilized. He thought this was due to the fact that there was no individual greatness, and for him Christianity was a religion for the weak, for those who want safety and comfort that a semi-Apollonian order (semi- since this order is a "community" one, an order that is formed by people mutually supporting each other in perpetuating their pitiful, boring life) provides. But as Goethe repeatedly pointed out, individual greatness presupposes the actual existence of an individual, which the Dionysian, without a strict Apollonian discipline, simply dissolves. Furthermore it is in the tension between the Apollonian and the Dionysian that greatness may arise, otherwise, with only the Dionysian present, it is pure chaos without any human significance; formless matter.

    Maybe this is holy legendary. But I really don't much like fusion. qobuz
    >It reflects an enduring classical tradition of Sundanese music while at the same time creating something fresh, modern and original. The music is centred on the kacapi, a boat-shaped zither whose mellifluous tones have been heard in Sunda (West Java) for centuries.
    >The instrumentation of the Sambasunda Quintetfollows the Tembang Sunda tradition, using up to three kacapis, augmented by violin and suling (bamboo flute) accompanied by a female singer. The addition of thekhendang drums – a large barrel-shaped drum played at both ends with various tones elicited by pressure of the foot and three smaller high-pitched drums known as kulenter – is a contemporary touch, and, although some of the compositions are based on standards from the Tembang Sunda repertoire, they are performed with a distinctly urban rhythmic accent. The whole is suffused with a contemporary awareness of global sounds, from the local and international pop music prevalent in Bandung, to the influences of the group’s interactions with international artists they have met and performed with at major music festivals around the world. This is most apparent in the instrumental piece ‘Paddy Pergi Ke Bandung’ (‘Paddy Goes To Bandung’), which, as the title suggests, is a playful collision of Irish and Javanese themes.

    Folk songs is a cycle made for Cathy Berberian.

    - Releases: ERM 164 - 2 ADD (Berberian), Mode48 (Schadeberg),
    The webm audio file attached is the third of this cycle, Loosin yelav (Ջան, ա՜յ լուսին), an Armenia folk song, which is my favourite. The vibe of made me couldn't stop thinking about 浅川マキ, in a way, she belongs to the same type of woman as Berberian, it also reminds me of 美轮明宏, I would even go so far as to say Shingetsu. These stem from their gestures and impressions for me, not the music though. Grotesque. One of the interesting things about this song cycle is that the first two songs were actually included due to an initial misunderstanding of Berio, who grew up thinking they were "true" American folk songs. I Wonder As I Wander can be heard on FW02373/FA 2373 by the composer' own voice, and as far as I can tell, one of the best version of Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair can be found on ECM 2157, played by Garth Knox. Composers or artists who are fascinated by folk songs, such as Xenakis, Berio here, or the photographer 中平卓马, have extraordinary temperaments.

    The last piece he composed at this studio, also dedicated to Berberian, I bet it had something to do with Gherasim Luca. The greatest vocal musique concrete work. It doesn't make the sound collaged in an embarrassing way like lots of primordial musique concrete works did. At around the 9 min, the sound (with the exception of the vocals) achieves a form comparable to that of the Autechre. This piece is better than most of Koenig's work.
