What makes a musician great? The ability to listen. It is through careful listening that we learn to appreciate the quality and relative weight of different sounds and begin to understand the various emotions and moods that they create. Music is the art of transforming sound into beauty. But where does beauty come from? Listen carefully and soon you will know the answer. Listen to music that inspires you. Listen to the sounds that fill your day. Listen at home, at the park, at school, at work, and listen as you practice. Even listen to silence. Silence is as much a part of music as sound!
Music is mainly the organisation of Silence
To listen…Few humans listen.
Most of the time they hear only.
To listen implies vigilance.
It implies to be focused on this sole action. Not distractedly while surfing the Net, or reading or anything else. Listening implies all senses. Listening means more than to perceive sounds; it implies decoding them. It also implies assigning them a signification, seeking their deeper meaning and letting resonances blossom deep down inside us.
To listen is to be available.
Opening ourselves to the music. Dropping our masks, leaving our worries behind. Being truthful with one self.
To listen is to learn.
Everyday, listening to discover new sounds, new harmonics, from around the world.
To listen is to share.
More than words, music is a universal language. It bridges objects and human beings.
To listen is to understand.
The music, the sounds of humans, objects and nature, connect us to the deepest mysteries of existence.
Everything «speaks to us»; the songs of the whales, the wind in the trees, the streaming rivers, the waves rolling on the shore, the music of humans. This is only a small part of life’s partition; need we to remind this to ourselves?
Listen to a movie score without the images...
Now, watch a movie without the soundtrack.
A simple experience, which reminds us to what extent our ability to hear is essential.
Never forget this: if our ears do not have «ear lids» it is because Life has decided so. Sight, so favored today, is actually "framed". Our audition stretches like a sphere around us, and reaches a lot further.
For many of us in this industrial world, whose life is alienated, disconnected from nature, to listen is to live again.
"There is a Light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond us all, beyond the heavens, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the Light that shines in our souls."
