MIDDAY BREAK

EDITORIAL WORK
Tina Seelig’s “InsightOut” - professor of “practice” at Stanford’s department of management science & engineering…not a musician, a manager with flair(?).

• Introduction: Insight > Implementation. Noise > Word > Sentence > Story. The 2/27 project can be seen in this way: from my musical instinct to communicate meaningfully > audience perceiving a progression from simple affect to ever-complicating affects > an accumulating glossary of larger/longer perspectives on the nuances of affect > developing longer stretches of concentration and memory. It is "imaginative" to envision “a solar car;” it is creative to build “one;” it is innovative to generate “something unique in the world.” The 2/27 Project imagines, creates, and innovates…but a future step in Project 2/27 will be to “bring unique ideas to fruition, thereby inspiring others’ imaginations.” 
  
  • Envision: all the world’s a stage. Learning that there is no “right” way to complete a story/painting/music; prompting listeners to “complete” a story/painting/music gets a more varied and vivid expression. 
    
• Imagination
  
  • Engage: the keys to the building. We engage by moving from experiencing a thing to imagining something. Listen to a  musical piece the first time (what was most prominent?), the second time (what feeling did you have to the music?), a third time (what was something you noticed during the third hearing that you hadn’t noticed before?). Love at first sight is rare in most aspects of life. Let’s try practicing listening deeply to this music; try to hear everything the very first time you hear it. Let’s listen to this music in this order: 
    
    • the most prominent thing you notice [rhythm, melody, instrument, harmony, loudness/quiet, smoothe/rough, etc], 
      
    • the feeling you have from the music, finally, 
      
    • something that is initially hidden from “sight.”
