Performer's ethics

While in the lecture room doing some post exercise review, i was struck 'de repente' with floods of ideas... Hope i still remember them.. It seemed so inspirational to me at that moment. I was caught in un endless day dream.

Music, Essay? I saw an interesting analogy.
Notes = words
Beautiful notes with un rich tone is like skilled calligraphy.
Expressive melodies are like great ideas that can influence people.
Timely measures are just so appropriate like God's word in times of trouble.
Fitting modes chosen are like words that accentuate your great idea!
i know still got 2 more, i once remembered... now i don't.

Oh! And just a note can be great music! Likened to a shout of "FIRE!!!" in war. Great skill is needed to bring that "Fire!" to influence soldiers thinking.."Defend my country! Die with honour!" or set Paul thinking ,"To live is Christ, to die is gain!"

And a great instrument, not necessary expensive. I mean un instrument which you understand truly well and can speak your heart. It is like a great voice of Martin Luther expressing himself. Of course you must have a great idea!

And silence can be beautiful too! But in situations where Sounds exist... wait a minute i remembered something. Darkness is not nothing. Darkness feels cold and deserted. Being filled with darkness feels so miserable. So how can you be filled with "nothing"? Lets twist our brains abit, Imagine, Light is nothing! And when night comes the whole world get filled with darkness, when Day breaks The Black fades away.
Black is scary. But what about a black sky with Diamonds in the air. It is a real wonderful sight especially when you are in a war! Wow! Lol!

Oh yes! There is something about technique! Good techniqe doesn't add to your musicality. It brings out your musicality. Imagine a really poor essay with immatured idea written in real skilled calligraphy. How about dressing a Chimpanzee in top designer's clothes(for humans) *cuz a good designer can even bring out a chimp's beauty if he/she really does design one for chimp* Haha!!. Good technique but no musicality. Good technique with high musicality will be... Cedar for a Royal castle! If there is poor technique, it is really hard to execute some Great ideas you have. Do not trap your ideas in because of poor technique, i am certain just with some RIGHT exercises, good techniques can be achieved.

Mmm, I see I am no musician at all, in reality. But in heart i really wanna be. But I really thank God for approving me as a drummer for Him.
Just as what i heard from this great musician of God.. There is no greater love than God's love. There is no greater passion than the passion God has for our souls.
May i add, there is nothing worthy to boast about other than to boast in the Glory of my God!

Oh!!! Yes! Thank God i still remember... Now about composer and performer relation... It will be tragic to misinterprete a composer's music. I hope i will be sensitive and not do it... sometimes creativity can be used wrongly. Real Creativity will add more colour to music than to distort it.. Can be quite disgusting. Just like a nice apple... If you want to paint an appetizing apple, paint it just as it is. Too bright red and it will look dangerous, too dark red and it will look rotten. It is beautiful just as it is. Just as i know i am adorable just as who i am and God loves me. And I love God just for who He is. Lol! I will always think... "OOps What am i saying.. when i go into the shower and on the tap and say, "Oh God I love you for this hot water".*cuz i hate cold water* Haha.. and suddenly realize that, do i meant "I love You because of this hot water" or "I love you because of your care for giving me hot water"... So totally different. I still see selfishness in me when i say that... cuz what if it is cold water? Will i say , Oh God i hate you for this cold water? I have learnt not to... cuz water is not the reason i Love my God.

Oh.. There are some ideas which i forgot... these 3 days of deep reflection in the wilderness really set my mind in great wonder! OH!! Haha! And there was one night under the thick canopy! I was sleeping, then through my eyelids and through the thick canopy, i SEE Intense Red Flash then Yellow then orange then Red again in a split of a splited second. Then "Creek..Crack..BANG!..BOooomm.. Rumm..." I almost went deaf! My heart raced! When i realised it was a lightning, i prayed... Oh God don't let any trees fall on me!... Then i remembered...Oh, and my 3 fellow mates too. Thank God for his great protection i am alive. Haha.. I actually did smiled when i woke up alive! So overjoyed! Haha! Gracias!

I better stop before i can't.

Colours

A Mellow Dark and Peaceful Lake. A breeze soft and blue. A Pink Dandelion dancing in the wave of green pasture. A Scorching bright orange sun! Not intense enough! A Strong Red Laser Beam shooting down from the alien spaceship! Dead ash, charcoal black! A smooth velvet cloth to cover the dirt.
At last i can feel the vibrations of the air! But still yet to recognize. Knowing someone takes a long long time... No rush!
