"Just so we won't be hanging in our chat: I learned while reading a book by a famous pyschologist and scientist, Antonio Damasio, that emotion (as all qualification and quantification of our sentiments) is invariably connected to the…"

"Michael, "esoteric philosophical/spiritual" Listening to music might not fall into this category. Listening can be done on very shallow levels. But writing music? That's very different. Lucas is experimenting with those deeper…"

"Well I think you've made the point right there! If it's pleasing to your ears then that's what you should be getting out there, the whole aim of musical composition is precisely to show how you hear things. If we all heard…"

"There's no question about if it's acceptable. Just try things out. If the results please you then it was worth the experiment. However, it's important to be self-critical. If you started out with an idea, how close is it to that idea?…"

"Guys, I have no financial autonomy as I can't work (becouse my major is integral), so I can't help, sory. This forum can't stop, guys, it realy helped me. Next semester I may be paid by scientifc initiation but until then I can't…"

"Good Lord, are we going to start debating esoteric philosophical/spiritual matters in a post about how to write music? This is the kind of thing that made me leave three years ago. Can we please get back on track?"

"We don't need to be certain,if we percieve will there is will, at least in my reality there is (there are states in witch we do not have autoconscience and therefore we can't percieve ourselves, but those are pathologycal only. On…"

"I love Fantasia."

"But... Is there such a thing as will...? And how can we be certain that there is such a thing as a soul and not just a fabrication of our minds to cope with the solitude of existence...? For me it was the Rite of Spring in Disney's Fantasia!"

"Hey Lucas I sent you the book on counterpoint, it's a really sweet one and I would take Dane's advice here too. I'll try to upload some of the exercises I did back in the day to show that you can be quite free but still following the…"
