Bio
"To the ear of the primal musician, what is important is not melody as we understand it in the West but the ENTIRE SOUND of the music, its complete tonal and rhythmical reality. The totality of this musical experience touches the consciousness; not because of the magic of the words or the emotion of the music but because of the motion of the whole sound. For example, the mantra of the Yoga and the dervish call are significant not because of the MEANINGS but because of the SOUNDS. It is the domination of Logos which has made us look for meaning in the music of the West, rather than listening for the immediacy of SOUND ITSELF......Nature is the aesthetic perfection with which we aspire to become identical, harmonious, and bound by immediacy and wholeness. It is therefore not surprising that among primal people music is the sound of the natural world made immediate and vivid by the perceptual miracle of the ear." -JAMAKE HIGHWATER "The Primal Mind" (1981) -
