Blue Method of Emotional Sensorial Practice in Music (2)

I want to develop some insights about this book. I feel that the link between music and emotion has been treated in few opportunities because the subjectivity of the human feelings and the multiplicity of results that this can produce in every person. But my aim is to show that when one human being try to explore or to achieve some musical goal there isn´t way to avoid the subjective matter. Art is subjectivity like every person is subjective. In the way that one musician must show your subjecitivity then your mission is accomplished. In that meaning I explore the ways to watch every musical aspect in subjective terms. In 12 chapters I develop this idea founding three basics thinkings to achieve this goal: 1) The experience lived; 2) The mistake and 3) To let onself go. There are eight less basic thinkins developed to complement this: 4) The context; 5) The musician; 6) The code; 7) The tone; 8) The harmony; 9) The musical tempo; 10) The contextual tempo and 11) The intention.

Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization.

I found this book several years ago and it seems to me that the time stopped from then. George Russell´s best creation is an unique and original source for jazz improvisation, for musical composition, it´s a way to understand and to explain the physics and the behaviour of notes into a score. I encourage every musician to explore this amazing tool named "Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization". It´s a marvelous journey!!!!
