physically in sound, that is. But very well subjectively withing the
listening mind - and as we know that's the place where the music
actually happens. So in an esoteric sense it would be possible. I
think minimal music comes closest to lure the mind into believing that
pitch is changing without passing through any point where both pitches
(old and new) are being heard simultaneously. So the technique for
musical morphing is to be found somewhere within the compositional
territories. I'm still bewildered by having heard "something
impossible", but that was a lucid dream sound and you can't really
count on "sleep in" concerts or "iowasca gigs" for all ;-))
A problem when experimenting with composition for "musical morphing"
is that as you create music you gradually become immune to the
"psychedelic" effects that play thise cool tricks on firsthand
listening minds.
