Innate musical abilities, obviously serve a massive function for
development of memory, languages and meaning, so should we work
harder to develop them?
Is there an interpretative, almost musically ‘phrased’ layer of information
that can be added to data to give it greater dimensionality & make it more
meaningful, memorable?
Orchestras routinely self-regulate & process huge swathes of information
at first sight, in real-time, within a system in constant radical flux, by
employing lookahead techniques & informed choices. How?

Innate musical abilities, obviously serve a massive function for
development of memory, languages and meaning, so should we work
harder to develop them?
Music is a language. Isn’t language itself a form of music?
Is there an interpretative, almost musically ‘phrased’ layer of information
that can be added to data to give it greater dimensionality & make it more
meaningful, memorable?
Orchestras routinely self-regulate & process huge swathes of information
at first sight, in real-time, within a system in constant radical flux, by
employing lookahead techniques & informed choices. With collective
consciousness. Without crashing.
