Musical Dynamics

The best music has a tendency to harmonize an emotional state with the progression of notes that are juxtaposed with lyrics that the listener can relate to on a very personal level.  With or without lyrics, the very best music can even transcend emotional states and put the mind into an escalating trance of cosmic consciousness.  This state of mind can best be described as the mystical realization of enlightenment, that is, the becoming of one with the rhythm of the universe.  This is the kind of music that overwhelms the brain with an auditory “orgasm” that shoots adrenaline down the spine and grows goosebumps on the skin.  These songs might sound unusual or even horrible at first, but once we become accustomed to them, they take hold of our sonic memory and show us pathways we never knew existed.  The more you listen to this music, the better it becomes. 

The art of music is the most expressive of forms because sound waves can reach the most amount of people at a given time.  But music is more than art too; it's an auditory metaphor for the mathematical synchronization of the equations of complex systems, often coalescing into brilliant, beautiful, celestial storms of emotional states, or systematic representations of nature.  This is best represented by the mysterious urge to dance a certain a way when you hear a type of music.  Dancing is music in three dimensions.  It extends one-dimensional melodies and written notes in two dimensions to encompass a complete form, like everything else in physical space.  All dances imitate dynamic systems that become emotionalized, using the body as metaphors to express them.  The universe itself is dancing to songs of cosmic unity, played by an ethereal dimension of waves, and the waves flow through the space dimensions like the sounds of an orchestra through an amphitheater.  It is through music that these quantum waves of dynamic change manifest into the supreme language of the universe, the instrument of God, the eternal song of existence.
