> Strange, I never managed to imagine picture and sound simultaneously. I sometimes do if I am in a trance-like state - it is very much like what you get if you are in a deep meditative state (helped with yoga) or take the easy option and cheat and use natural herbal substances. They are visions, just like day dreaming. The Place des Vosges improvisations were all recorded whilst in this state (natural, and herbal)... I can picture people, places, scents, touch.... Alas, it does not happen as much as it used to... Lately, I have been feeling a kind of musical schizophrenia whereby it feels as though there are a number of performers inside me. The spiritual side of me believes that at times, my body is acting as a medium for dead musicians whereas my analitical mind just assumes that I am a natural headchase and am just playing things that I have subconciously heard or worked out beforehand. I play in styles I have never studied or have played before... to this day, I dont know where they are coming from. Its a bizarre sensation... feeling away from your physical body and conducting your own small string orchestra.... Its great, as they work for free, dont have drinking problems and rarely argue with each other. :) -- Stuart Wyatt - Solo String Project http://www.solostring.com stuart@solostring.com
