Music. No Music. Playing.Non Playing. Listening.No Listening. Yeah...the other side, less explored by humans.Most of us live according only one side of the thing.There is another side, a darker one,Where once you enter there is not guarantee you'lll make it out. Here is where you don't play, you don't listen, you don't talk,you don't everything, you just believe what you don't do is also beauty, and you may feel the sparkling effect of the spirit. It's about sacrificing the "YOU" for "IT". There is another taste of joyce in sacrifice..that's one of the paths into the other side.
Sounds Like: I would like to sound as far away from the human conception of rhythm, melody and harmony as possible...I'm doing my homework...working on it. where the music and knowledge in general stops is where I'm focused the most; the" I don't know" part of the playing and It's relation with the spiritual world. let it came honestly from the your soul,not from your brain, and realize once more, as it's been said in the holy bible:..."no laws for the ones guided by the spirit..." this how ratology sounds like.....love, not music, not analitical shit, no words about art and creation are involved in this area we are touching now,well... we were , everything is the past so far..., so if you are interested, and not scared of traveling into zones you can't usually get, parts of the planet where humans won't even survive the plagues,scared of bats guano, or new breeds not yet discovered by us.Keep going down, and you'll find a short video of the rats on action or check out in youtube.com under nat mugavero, president and accounter of the ratology anonimate assosiation (R.A.A) that's the sound that's still not been played, the future...that's where we, the rats ,are heading towards/
