"Man I love music. So much. It's so stinking cool that music exists. I mean, come on - best art ever. Nothing in the world has as much effect on any one sense as music. It can get you performing actual movement totally unconsciously, it can life your sprits, make you smile and laugh, make you depsondent and depressed. Incredibly powerful stuff, music.

Walter Pater (19th century essayist) once said that ""all art continuously aspires to the condition of music."" And in a lot of ways, that's really true; other forms are inextricably tied to the corporeal, the material. A lot of visual art is representational, and even that which isn't has to make a conscious effort to keep from being so. Visual arts often are tied by human experience to form only a particular set (however wide and far-reaching) of releationships and accordances. But music can transcend the material, it begins with no ties to form, and can (like Qabala) generate relationships that appear to have no basis in what we perceive as reality. But these relationships do exist, by the very fact of their being created by the music.

And I'll be honest, I'm not even sure I'm being coherent, but I really wanted to say that I'm a big fan of music."
