music is the vehicle of change
music is the vehicle of change
Ive been working with music as the vehicle of change for a while now, and I think it has good potential for the future. We certainly use entertainment as a call to action, a drawcard, to events, but its much more than that, its a way of opening peoples minds to change, to fix messages in basic ways, to create concious states that enable better receptivity.
I think that it would be great if the musicians themselves could benefit more than just the self satisfaction of knowing that they are contributing to a better society; they could and should be given increased life support, food and drink, transport, even child-care, in relation to their giving of precious art to our audiences. That is an area that I am woring on presently. Interested? lets talk more..
Even just buying CD's from the acts would help. I run a free website for musicians, related to campaigning for protection of natural values, and specifically to preserve Te Rae Kai Hau Point on Wellington's South Coast. Its called Rakiura Music and its part of GADOT, the group Against Development on Te Rae Kai Hau Point.
And in another sphere, I've recently created six films lasting 24 hours each, of the pure sky, for a project called STARS. Its currently playing as one audio-video installation at the New Zealand Film Archive, on the outdoor screen in Taranaki st, 24/7. The project is a Warwick Blair composition based on gandharva veda time theory, ancient Indian ideas of health through specific music at specific time. The music also lasts 24 hours, and you can choose your exposure by your need at the time.
There seems to be relationships between music and astronomy, maybe cosmological, and it's also apparent in taatai arorangi, maori astronomy and navigation, as a means to preserve and transport the information that is precious and required to navigate the Pacific and Aotearoa on sea and on land. The earliest known waiata and chants are taatai arorangi based. see our SKY and Sharing Space websites for more images and links. my name is Paul Moss.
