Document Summary
Philosophy has a certain stance- how music becomes magic and influence. Notice how difficult this process is, to speak about it and learn about it. Music is a mystery- the beginning of what music is. Always a contradiction in what people think and feel with music. Music has a deep mystery to it, and we don"t know how to explain it. This problem is the beginning of philosophy within music. Mystery means things that cannot be brought into words and lives outside words. It is a very personal choice- it exists on a different plain. Greek mousike which means the art of the muses- places it within the realm of the gods, which is outside the human plain. Why is there an abandonment of humans and leading towards the gods. Technology of the muses- there is a need within humans to go beyond who they are.
