Mkei D A story I've found a lot of musicians have been told at some point or another in their lives, about the way Confucius taught his pupils to speak through their instruments. It has been conveyed to me by teachers, friends and people who I respected for their insight. The common thread each story had was that Confucius taught his students the importance of being able to communicate through their instruments. Whether it be to convey sorrow, to raise spirits or to boost morale; whatever the reason the instrument allows the musician to convey a message to an audience they may not otherwise have had the opportunity to do. To some people that can be a message to yourself. You can make the instrument speak to you and help you unlock thoughts and emotions you may not have been capable of having in any other way. In my early teens I read something similar about Confucius in a book but at the time I didn't understand what was meant by it. Now, as I've aged and been moved by thousands of pieces of music and seen the effect that it has on people besides myself, I have come to appreciate that message, despite the specific reason that Confucius may have had for teaching his pupils to play instruments. See, some people have a very difficult time expressing how they feel in any conventional way, but when it comes to making sounds or mixing them together in such a way that a unique experience can be had by the audience and the artist, well, that is something important. Not just for the artist but for the entire community with whom they share what they have created. For me that captures a very important part of not only what music is but the value of communication between organisms like us and how it can come in many forms. Now, with the internet, you can look into this story and see for yourself how true it was or what or where it started, but back when I heard abut it it was just books and word of mouth and that allowed people to add their own twists to it and I appreciate each of the people and their unique slants on the story, for what they were separately. But, again, the common thread was that it was Confucius who was the one responsible for teaching his students to speak through their instruments and Richard speaks in some of the most unique ways I have ever heard. I hope this answers some part of your question Mkei D I wish I had some list of books or some videos that I could recommend that might better emphasize how important Confucius was to music, not just in China but in the way that his attitude about music spread from there to the Middle East, Europe and the rest of the world, but, all the sources that I learned from (people, books, etc.) are either dead, I've lost touch with them, or they were a few of many books I poured over in libraries during my youth as I sought to learn more about aspects of the world that were at the time unknown to me in my youth. Perhaps you even know more of the truth behind this story than I? Maybe you can share your perspective on it, or, at least, what music means to you?

You seem very knowledgeable!

Aphex Twin videos are the only ones that work with the autoplay feature on YT, I mean conceptually. If you let it autoplay with Aphex Twin, you end up just listening, just let it keep playing random AT stuff while you work. With other videos it just gets annoying, but with AT I think it's pretty cool to just let it go random. Maybe ambient music is best when we don't even control which tracks are being played, just relinquish control and see where you end up.

I envy Aphex Twin so much. Tons of musical genius, and tons of gear in his house to make music with. I'm slowly building a collection of gear, so maybe I can one day be like him and support myself by making music in my basement. Although he does it in a former bank (in the vault I hear, what a cool place to put a studio! I wonder if he locks the giant vault doors every night with his gorgeous gear inside?). I'll never be like Aphex Twin, but the trying, the journey, it satisfies the soul.

That would be nostalgia; for the lack of a physical manifestation of the music you like as it has been in the pastoooo. Music is great at tying memories to them. Read a book while listening to the same album over and over, wait a month or two, listen to even one song on the CD you'll remember everything. It feels like a 6th sense... memory through the interpretation of music by your brain.
