Making Music as Blogging

In this miraculous world of blogging there is a a profound process that shapes perception and discloses a new beingness that is simultaneously intimate and distant.

In music I am committed to making music and music making in the context of a blogging process, an encounter with an expansion of conscious awareness. Thus my views are reflected in the questions raised by Stephen Downes:

What happens when online learning ceases to be like a medium, and becomes more like a platform? What happens when online learning software ceases to be a type of content-consumption tool, where learning is "delivered," and becomes more like a content-authoring tool, where learning is created? The model of e-learning as being a type of content, produced by publishers, organized and structured into courses, and consumed by students, is turned on its head. Insofar as there is content, it is used rather than read— and is, in any case, more likely to be produced by students than courseware authors. And insofar as there is structure, it is more likely to resemble a language or a conversation rather than a book or a manual.

The e-learning application, therefore, begins to look very much like a blogging tool.

So the point of our inquiry is to raise questions about our process as we engage music making. We need to notice the intimate details of how we grow and how we change as we become the embodiment of music either as listeners or performers.
