Ron,
Sounds like a very singular way of producing and
finding inspiration. Most people I know work their
lives to be able to have one appropriate place which
should be like an extension of themselves, where one
can have his own library, his Cds (and vinils!) and
invite friends to play, work or just visit.
In fact, as much as I´d like to be able to travel
much more than I do, to meet people, and to know
places and cultures which I´m sure would make of
myself an richer soul, my personal dream is to be able
to have my own multimedia studio, where I could play,
rehearse, compose, write, experiment with different
media, etc...
Your way of doing it is quite remarkable. I hope one
of the next times that I may travel to US I may be
able to know one of your sanctuaries!

As you might expect, I give the moving issue a lot
of thought.
At the root level I'm a student. A long time ago I
bought into the
idea that the reason for living is learning which,
in my mind, is
directly connected with that evolutionary imperative
notion. There's a
long tradition of mobile learning. Not for
everyone, but definitely
for some.
To me there's nothing sweeter than the exercise of
freedom - it's a
form of prayer of gratitude. One of the problems
with that exercise is
that the older you get the more expensive it gets in
every way
particularly with the toll it takes on your body and
being.
Nevertheless, once again I find it a fascinating
field test of the
subcultures that give form to our times.
One of the art forms I've explored for almost four
decades is turning
neglected spaces into sanctuaries and then passing
them on to people
who resonate with them. When I sense that a space
is in tune I begin
thinking about moving and taking on another project.
I devote a lot of energy to the study of human
nature and once I get a
good sense of a subculture I tend to look for a new
one to explore.
There are plenty of constants but the variations
provide mountains of
food for thought.
And Pellegrino means pilgrim which might be why so
much to me seems to
point toward motion.
No motion, no music.

Have you read Constance Classen's "Wolds of

Sense"?

group

senses. She devotes a chapter to feral children,
|
and

|
know
| | the book.
Part of my work is going in this direction now.
Ron, as much as I understand you keep on moving
|
every
| | year? All the time last year when you were talking
about Petaluma I felt as it was a place you were
building to live for a long time. Good luck on
|
this
| | new place and best vibes from Brazil.
best for all metapeople there

Hope the new year brings much laughter, song,
fulfillment, friendship
and peace for all Metalist people.
Ron, re the string theory and creating images
|
|
that
| | | | have a
correspondence to scientific imaging, although
coming from a completely
different path. I spent the last couple of months
creating a story
around feral children and then found an almost
identical one in Greek
mythology....
best wishes

Lately PBS in the USA has broadcast some
|
|
|
beautiful
| | | | TV programs on
| | string theory featuring the thoughts of some
|
|
|
heavy
| | | | hitters like the
| | author of The Elegant Universe and others.
|
|
|
Their
| | | | mostly tentative
| | conclusions remind me of some of our discussions
|
on the musical nature
| | of reality, physical and otherwise. Plus some
|
|
|
of
| | | | their animated
| | graphic illustrations look like they could have
|
been lifted from the
| | music generated laser animations on my visual
|
music DVDs.
| |
About to end my surfing of the abyss as it looks
|
like the next ledge
| | is North Dallas in the university town of Denton
|
|
|
-
| | | | sweet winter sunny
| | acre that includes a 1K sq ft in-house studio
|
|
|
and
| | | | a huge backyard
| | sloping down to a creek. Seems like the perfect
|
setting for work and
| | reflection. Plus the Dallas/Fort Worth airport
|
|
|
is
| | | | only 40 minutes
| | away so I think I'll be hitting the road again.
