is this a meeting of male and female minds or an arguement. what it is intended to be? i think it's an agreement (but that could my mental predisposal to resolve issues in my mind, my subjective view - the real problem may remain)

Sean from Autechre once said that he thought that music was speech minus text.
"yeah music = speech - text at least roughly - i reckon it's a kind of super-developed version of the pitch and intonation parts of speech (the aural bit that doesn't contain textual info)"

the voice distorts when shouting. we hear distortion in music as aggressive

do you ever notice your body physically empathising with music? if a note sustains; do you keep exhaling with it? stay tensewith it? stay still until it ends?

Reading this has had me trying to work out the melody to 'to be or not to be' for at least three minutes

Not to mention that (so I've read) English people talk naturally in iambic (maybe even iambic pentameter although that might be stretching it)
Always interesting to me how when you listen to people speaking in a language you don't understand you can hear the pitch (almost melody) much more clearly.

bruza couldn't come from outside of east london, just rhythmically, let alone anything else.

im in bed skimming through this. contains obvious connections
to the stuff we're looking at here
lots about music as language and music as movement.
"In sub-Saharan cultures, body motion and music are viewed as interelated components of the same process. The dance becomes the music, and the music is the dance."

i once heard someone say that when doing guitar solos have every melodic idea should be contained within the length of a breath.
i write loads of rubbish edm music for work so use a lot of white noise sweeps. usually there'll be one filtered up and then one down,, very reminiscent of breathing.
same thing with reverse cymbal sounds
brushes probably work similarly like on corpsey's favourite song

pure sine wave bass sounds are very womb like for me. the feeling of being cocooned is understandable, if you're hearing something through a wall the bass is going to be the main thing coming through, the higher pitches filtered out.
