I had the impression too that it was something life-threatening.  And word did
go around that he was going to "retire" or something along those lines, is
that still the case?

Hey Mike-

I'm always sure to download your free projects, as they always are  a
pleasure to listen to.  Since you won't give yourself a plug (actually,  that's
a
disturbing image-let's drop that one) you might mention your great CD  "Raining
Upwards" on Dark Duck Records.
It's truly amazing the sounds you can coax out of a  guitar.

Thanks for the new work; I love the Soundclick stuff and the  Andromeda
project too.

“Creature of Logic and Emotion”  (produced by Jerry Nelms)

Dale Carnegie once said, “When dealing with people, let us remember we are
not dealing with creatures of logic.  We are dealing with creatures of
emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and
vanity.”  Sadly, the division in our minds between logical reasoning and
emotional responses often leads to this kind of cynical view of humankind.

The truth about human beings is, of course, much more complex.  But in
recent decades, we’ve seen a growing rejection of logic and reason in favor
of a belief that human feelings are our best guides in life.  This turn is
perhaps only fair, since for so long, logic and reason were touted as being
the defining features of humanity, and emotions were viewed as our link to
lower animals.  Nowadays, sensitivity, sensibility, affection, and
compassion, and other celebrated human behaviors have all been associated
with the emotions in opposition to logic and reason, often portrayed as
cold, uncaring, academic, high-brow intellectual, and artificial.

In fact, as any speech club orator can tell you, logic and reasoning cannot
be separated from human feeling.  Nor should human emotion somehow be
isolated from logical thinking.

In fact, Iowa neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, author of The Feeling of What
Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness, has found through
his study of people with damage to that part of the brain where emotions are
generated that the loss of emotions impairs decision-making.  His study
subjects can logically describe what they should do, but they’re unable to
make the decision to do it.  If we think about it for a moment, this makes
perfect sense.  Most decisions have more than one right alternative and
clearly require an emotional commitment.

At the same time, we should be careful about simply rejecting logic.  As the
ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle once wrote, “Anyone can be angry.  That
is easy.  But to be angry with the right person to the right degree, at the
right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not easy.”
As Aristotle shows us here, decisions also require the application of
reason.  Carnegie was not completely wrong, after all.  Human emotions can
be as negative in nature and in their consequences as they can be positive.
And higher intellectual activity requires reasoning.  Quoting Aristotle
again, “It is a mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought
without accepting it.”  That sophisticated cognitive act requires the
ability to bracket one’s biases in favor of objectivity, the ability to step
back from one’s emotional commitments to view the thought or idea or thing
from other possible perspectives, perspectives different from one’s own.

Some argue that there is no such thing as pure objectivity, and they are
right.  But, as George Lakoff and Mark Johnson argue in Metaphors We Live
By, we can achieve a very real human objectivity.  Not some pure separation
of emotion and reason but rather, a state of heightened awareness of one’s
biases, finding an emotional commitment to a higher justice, above and
beyond our personal needs and desires.  You don’t reject your feelings when
trying to be objective, you temporarily bracket them in favor of a stronger
emotional commitment to being just and true to the thought, idea, or thing
you are observing, a commitment to allowing yourself to be swayed by the
thought, idea, or thing, rather than to manipulating it.

Indeed, it is this ability to think both logically and emotionally together,
what we might consider to be a higher state of consciousness, that seems to
me to be a highly sophisticated state of humanity.  The main character,
played by Tom Hanks, in the movie Castaway has a wonderful speech that
illustrates how logical reasoning and emotions fundamentally coalesce in
human thought and action.  He explains his thinking and feeling about being
a modern Robinson Crusoe this way:

“You know, I was gonna get sick or I was gonna get injured or something. The
only choice I had, the only thing I could control, was when and how and
where that was going to happen.”  [Note how he is both reasoning and feeling
here.  He goes on:]

“So, I made a rope. And I went up to the summit to hang myself.  But, I had
to test it, you know.  Course, you know me. The weight of the log snapped
the limb of the tree.  I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to.  I
had power over nothing.   And that's when this feeling came over me like a
warm blanket.  I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive.  Somehow. I had to
keep breathing, even though I had no reason to hope, and all my logic said
that I would never see this place again.  So, that's what I did.  I stayed
alive.  I kept breathing.  And then, one day that logic was proven all wrong
because the tide came in, gave me a sail.  And now here I am.  I'm back.  In
Memphis, talking to you.  I have ice in my glass.  And I've lost her all
over again.  I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly.  But I'm so grateful that
she was with me on that island.  And I know what I have to do now.  I keep
breathing.  Because tomorrow the sun will rise.  And who knows what the tide
could bring?”

We can’t just rely on logic, and we can’t just rely on our feelings.   We
have to have both.  And we have to cultivate both in ourselves.

And so, this evening, let’s contemplate that commonsensical fact—that we
exist both emotionally and logically through a program of electronic and
acoustic and electronic music entitled “Creature of Logic and Emotion.”   We
begin with moody, ancient Greek-inspired music by keyboardist and bassist
Paul Avgerinos from Muse of the Round Sky.  We’ll continue this half-hour
with several pieces of chimerical electronica by Kevin Dooley (a.k.a.
ZeroOne) from pSy-fI; Cameron Akhunaton (a.k.a. Magic Sound Fabric) from
Uplift Drift; and John Lakveet from The Force of Reason.  In our second
half-hour, we’ll hear the richly textured premiere track to Kyle Swager’s
The Other Side of Words; a wistful piece by flutist/keyboardist Terry
Oldfield from Turning Point; Paul Avgerinos again with two more reflective
tracks from Muse of the Round Sky; more music celebrating ancient Greek
spirituality by the group Skin To Skin from Temenos; and haunting ambience
by well-known sound artist Steve Roach from Core.

We’re contemplating the inseparability of emotion and reason, feelings and
logic, on our program tonight, recognizing the human being is a “Creature of
Logic and Emotion,” originating and ever moving toward that even greater
unity that exists Beyond the Lakes.

8:00-8:30pm
Paul Avgerinos – Muse of the Round Sky – Round Sky Music – 2002
	 “Invocation”

	 “In-Kant-able”

8:30-9:00pm
Kyle Swager – The Other Side of Words – Delvian Records – 2003
	 “The Mirror of Life”
Terry Oldfield – Turning Point – New Earth Records – 2002
	 “Lost for Words”
Paul Avgerinos – Muse of the Round Sky – Round Sky Music – 2002

Skin To Skin – Temenos – Waveform – 2002
	 “Daimon” (edit)
Steve Roach – Core – Timeroom Editions – 2001
	 “Train of Thought” (both tracks 3 & 4)


We’re contemplating the need to cultivate both reason and emotion, for human
beings cannot rely only on logic or only on feelings.  We need to integrate
and work from both.

And in fact, we have an ancient system that does just that—rhetoric.  It
originated in ancient Greece with philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle
and with traveling teachers of oratory.  Many of us may think of rhetoric as
empty words intended to manipulate us, but rhetoric is better defined as the
art and study of how humans persuade each other and come to agreement.  From
this definition, we can see that rhetoric is a fundamental human behavior,
not some academic exercise.  It’s something that each of does everyday.

For many centuries, rhetoric was associated with argument, with doing verbal
battle, but in his very important and very dense book A Rhetoric of Motives,
20th-Century philosopher and critic Kenneth Burke redefined persuasion and
in so doing, redefined how we should think about rhetoric.  Burke argued
that the purpose of all rhetorical acts is not to win a verbal battle but
rather to achieve identification, to reach consensus, not simply a meeting
of the minds but a union of belief.  And that, most of the time, requires
change on both sides of the issue—change in the listener or reader but also
change often times in the speaker or writer, too.

As we can see, rhetoric very much involves not simply logical argumentation
but also shifts in feelings, in emotional commitments.  Rhetoric, then,
teaches us how to be more humane and more human.

This is the focus, then, of our program tonight.  John Lakveet returns to
begin our second hour with this and another emphatic track of electronica
from The Force of Reason.  Later, we’ll hear two dramatic compositions by
Russian sound artist Edward Artemiev from his CD Three Odes; and more
provocative electronica from ZeroOne’s pSy-fI.  We’ll devote the majority of
our final, half-hour to two twilit electronic soundscapes by a trio of sound
designers—Paul Ellis, Dave Fulton, and John Duval—who call themselves
Dweller at the Threshold, from their recording Ouroborus.  And we’ll end our
program tonight with a tribute to higher intelligence and the evolution of
human life from Jan Hammer’s 1975 recently reissued classic The First Seven
Days.

“Creature of Logic and Emotion,” tonight on Music from Beyond the Lakes.

I'm making a quick post to announce the release of my newest cd "Lingering
Light".  You can find out more information at my website www.jeffpearcemusic.com
For the next three weeks, only cdbaby.com and lotuspike will be selling the
discs.  Eventually, the discs ought to be available in all the usual places.

If you're of the opinion that "deep" music can only be played on synths through
deep deep reverb, then you'll probably want to stay away from "Lingering Light".
And if you don't have a sense of humor, you'll probably want to stay off the
"about Jeff" page on my website.... :)

“Last Day at the Beach 2005”  (produced by Jerry Nelms)

“A memory,” writes creativity educator Edward de Bono, “is anything that
happens and does not completely unhappen.  The result is some trace which is
left.  The trace may last for a long time or it may last only for a short
time.  Information that comes into the brain,” de Bono writes, “leaves a
trace in the altered behaviour of the nerve cells that form the memory
surface.”

In the movie The Forgotten, it is just such a trace that saves a grieving
mother, “Telly,” from forgetting her son.  Telly is struggling to cope with
the sudden death of her son when, one day, everyone who ever knew him seems
to have forgotten he ever existed.  At a point near the end of the film, she
’s offered the opportunity to forget his existence, too—to regain her
contentment in life prior to Sam’s birth and death, a happiness that comes
at the price of ignorance.  A similar opportunity occurs in the film Eternal
Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, where the main character, Joel, arranges to
have his memories of his former girlfriend erased from his mind after
discovering that she’d already erased her memories of him.

In both films, Telly and Joel discover that the bond of love, the emotions,
tying them to the person they’re to have erased from their memories is
simply too strong for them to let go.  They fight to retain their memories,
despite the fact that these memories are painful, even heart-wrenching.

Memories, of course, aren’t always pleasurable.  They can cause despondency
and even despair.  And yet, like Telly and Joel, we often feel that we can’t
get along without those most painful memories, for they’re aligned with some
deep, foundational part of our identities.  They define who we are; they
give value to our lives; they point us in future directions.  We feel our
lives would be diminished if we lost them.  We even take pleasure in them,
painful as they might be.  Such memories can generate in us some of our most
complex and sophisticated emotions, feelings that ennoble our human species.

Such complexity of feeling is often said to be a hallmark of autumn, the
season of reflection.  In fact, for me, it’s exactly this time of year that
brings on my most powerful memories and most sustained reflections.  I am
stimulated in this way by the prospect of change, the end of summer, that
blurred edge between seasons when we look across that divide into ever
darkening shadows.

The last day at the beach is a microcosm of that experience, summer vacation
still with us—the warm sand between our toes, the warm sun on our faces—but
the long drive home stretches out before us—moving into autumn, no more
vacations, back to work and school.  We can see it, we can feel it—the green
of the leaves and grass fading, some leaves even beginning to turn and fall,
an ever-so-slight chill to the summer breeze, a different slant to the
light, as novelist William Faulkner pointed out when explaining the title to
his novel, Light in August.  There is something we feel there that we just
can’t pinpoint, a sadness, perhaps, but not entirely unpleasant.

This should tell us something about ourselves, our spirituality, and even
about how we experience any promises of an afterlife.  So much these days is
made of our need to find contentment and inner peace, a release from our
cares and worries. We are exhorted to embrace a kind of forgetting in order
to achieve a condition of constant satisfaction, nirvana, an eternal calm.
When we talk of psychological and emotional “healing,” we often talk in
absolute terms about peace, harmony, and serenity—as if once such states are
achieved, we’re set for life; they won’t change.  But they do change, for
change is ongoing and inevitable.  We know this.  And, I bet, most of us
really wouldn’t want it any other way, if we think seriously about it.

Imagine absolute serenity and peace—if you’re like me, the idea feels eerie,
for it requires a kind of detachment from the world, loss as much as gain.
It makes me uneasy.  It reminds me too much of the empty smiles of those
lost to religious fanaticism.  Living in a world of change, at least, we
know we can work to change things for the better, even if the good times are
only temporary, even if pain and suffering are inevitable.  Painful memories
allow us to see the potential for pleasure, for pleasure and pain are not so
very opposite in this world.  Remembering loved ones lost, the happy
memories and the painful ones, is just one example.

And so, this evening, let’s consider the benefits of memories, even painful
ones, as we spend one “Last Day at the Beach 2005.”  We begin our program
with this meditative music by Gary Takesian, who goes simply by Takesian.
We’ll continue, after this, with a lightly wistful composition by harpist
Peter Sterling; a Celtic-influenced tribute to Ocracoke Island on the Outer
Banks of North Carolina by multi-instrumentalist Bill Leslie; an elegant
tribute to summer by pianist/keyboardist Bernward Koch; a very nice cover of
Sting’s bittersweet “Fields of Gold” by pianist Kevin Kern, assisted by
guitarist Mike Miller; and the autumnal title track to pianist/keyboardist
Kevin Keller’s Gathering Leaves.  In our second half-hour, we’ll hear richly
orchestral music by pianist Jace Vëk; more shimmering piano and keyboard
music by Bernward Koch; a sun-drenched, European-flavored piece by Suzanne
Ciani; a glassy, wave-swept composition by the native Venezuelan keyboardist
who goes by the name Amílcar; popular pianist Jim Wilson with the lightly
Celtic-flavored title track from his fifth album; and finally, more
meditative music by saxophonist Jessie Allen Cooper with pianist Tim Ponzek.

We’re contemplating the importance of memories, even painful memories, as we
move toward the reflective season of autumn and spend one “Last Day at the
Beach 2005,” accepting the inevitability of change as we move ever-closer to
that border between the here and now and whatever lies Beyond the Lakes.

It’s our annual “Last Day at the Beach” program for 2005 tonight.  Imagine
those feelings of a last day at the beach.  That experience is a microcosm
of the complexity of human emotions, the way our psyches blend happiness and
sadness, the wistfulness in our desires, the bittersweetness of our lives,
the warm sand and the ever-so-slight chill to the summer breeze off the
ocean, how we long for peace and serenity but could never abide a constant
satisfaction, how we dislike and yet accept change.

We begin our second hour with these quiet textures by keyboardist Michael
Allison, who goes by the name Darshan Ambient.  We’ll continue, after this,
with a dusky collaboration between vocalist Aimee Page and keyboardist John
Michael Zorko (a.k.a. Falling You); another autumnal selection from Kevin
Keller’s Gathering Leaves; simultaneously warm and wistful, oscillating
music by keyboardist Richard Bone; and twilit ambience by keyboardist Mark
Morton.  Falling You returns to begin our final half-hour with another
haunting song, this time sung by Dru Allen.  And we’ll also hear a darkening
“Seascape” from Robert Rich’s classic 1984 collection Drones.  Falling You
will return one last time with a shadowy collaboration with vocalist Sara
Ayers.  And Kevin Keller returns to end our program tonight with pensive
ambience, once again from Gathering Leaves.

Beyond the Lakes is thematically programmed each week--that is, music is
selected to provoke interest in theme.  Themes tend to be contemplative,
meditative, spiritual, educational.  Jerry's understanding of "new age"
music: it provides a space for the imagination, and, thus, can take many
different forms but functioning in that way of allowing the listener space
for the play of the imagination.

“Map of the Warm Night”  (produced by Jerry Nelms)
(Repeat, August 21, 2005; originally aired June 17, 2001)

How do we humans make meaning?  Well, the first order of business, it seems
to me, is observation.  We must attend to the world in order to derive
meaning out of the relentless bombardment of ever-changing stimuli.  And
inseparable from observation is reflection—thinking about what we observe.

Observation and reflection—together, they are the tools by which we order
our universe, by which we see laws and principles, connections among things,
where the rest of creation mostly sees only things.  We divide our world and
classify its parts.  We compare and contrast them and define them.  Meaning
making begins with attention and awareness, a situating of ourselves within
the world but also outside of it, in the world but not entirely of the
world.

Consider a warm, sultry, summer night, surely the epitome of chaos in our
world.  The mosquitoes, the moths, the humidity, the clinging of our shirts
to our sweaty bodies—it’s hard not to be thinking of being somewhere else.
It feels impossible to attend to this world at that moment, for the world
seems so impossibly close, its hot, rancid breath in our face.  Yet from a
moderating distance, we can see how the laws of nature are at work even on a
warm night.  The world, as always, exists within time and space.  The
weather follows the earth’s meteorological laws.  Earth’s creatures behave
according to their natures, seeking out sustenance, attracted by the warmth
and the light, in the short timespan of their lives.

How much of this order we perceive is universal, God-given, or simply our
imposition of structure on unstructured existence is the stuff of
philosophical debate.  What interests me is the fact that we can see it both
ways.  We feel the chaos; we recognize the order.  Perhaps that is our
purpose on this planet—not so much to conquer it, as we continue to try to
do, but rather to chart it, to be the meta-cartographers of the world. This
charting seems to begin literally at birth.  As R. Buckminster Fuller once
said:

Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and
experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking
to find order in their experiences—“which is the mostest? which is the
leastest?" They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness,
springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: they heft, shake,
punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart.

The irony is that all good mapmaking is never just right; there’s always a
sense of futility in our inability to capture the landscape completely and
perfectly.  There are always topographical details that elude us.  So it is
in our meaning making.

Douglas Hofstader once wrote:

All the limitative Theorems of metamathematics and the theory of computation
suggest that once the ability to represent your own structure has reached a
certain critical point, that is the kiss of death: it guarantees that you
can never represent yourself totally. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem,
Church's Undecidability Theorem, Turing's Halting Problem, Turski's Truth
Theorem—all have the flavour of some ancient fairy tale which warns you that
"To seek self- knowledge is to embark on a journey which . . . will always
be incomplete, cannot be charted on a map, will never halt, cannot be
described."

Still, we have our gifts, our tools: observation and reflection.  And they
can take us a long way in our charting of the world—just never all the way.
I guess the question, then, is not so much how do we make meaning as why.

Tonight, then, we contemplate our abilities and the limits of our abilities
as we seek to chart the sultry summer evening in a program entitled “Map of
the Warm Night.”  We begin with . . . .

***********************************

We’re exploring our human capacity to understand the order and disorder of
our world, our ability to “Map the Warm Night,” as it were, all from a
designing table that has its origins somewhere Beyond the Lakes.]

ECHOES
A Nightly Music Soundscape

A SPECIAL ONE HOUR MEMORIES OF MOOG ON ECHOES
Echoes looks back at the Moog Synthesizer with comments from some of its
most important players and an hours worth of moog music.

MEMORIES OF MOOG
4O years after its creation, the name Moog is still synonymous with
synthesizer for many people.  There were synthesizers before Robert Moog's
creation, but his instrument was among the first that could be played
on-stage in realtime. In the 1960s, Moog driven songs like "Popcorn" were
commercial hits and Walter Carlos's Switched-On Bach created a fire storm
of critical acclaim and controversy.  In the seventies the Moog helped
launch space music and the Mini-Moog became the instrument of choice for
progressive rock and fusion keyboard players.  Today the Moog is enjoying a
revival with retro-space, ambient lounge and techno musicians. Robert Moog
unplugged the final patchcord on August 21, 2005.  In this special Echoes,
we hear comments on Robert Moog and his invention from Wendy Carlos,
Redshift's Mark Shreeve, Sun Ra, Klaus Schulze, David Borden, Jan Hammer
and Jimmy Lavalle of The Album Leaf.

Lingering Light will be the featured CD on tonight's broadcast of Kite Radio.
Tune in at 10:00 PM EDT to hear a few tracks off the CD, then head on over to
Jeff Pearce's site http://www.jeffpearcemusic.com/ or the Lotuspike site to
buy the CD.  Highly recommended of course.

And don't forget, if you live in the Northeast USA, Jeff has 2 live shows
coming up this fall.  One in Pittsburgh, PA in October, and the Stars End
Gathering show in Philadelphia, PA on 22 October.  It's amazing to watch Jeff
perform live, and the intimate and serene setting of the Gatherings Concert
Series is the perfect place to do it.  If you don't live in Philly, it's worth
the trip to go.

Well, I couldn't find the old one, so from now on all
bfs news will go here:

1. I am re-releasing To Reach the Other Shore, Chroma,
and Drones for Bosal on an on-demand basis via Cafe
Press. Each of the three releases will come out over
the next several weeks with ...To Reach the Other
Shore NOW AVAILABLE from:

http://www.cafepress.com/gearsofsand

There are also sound samples for every track on the
Cafe Press site.

These releases have all been remastered with new, very
minimal artwork and presented as part of a cohesive
theme I call In a Single Whisper.

All will be very reasonably priced at $8.99 per disc.

This collection represents my earliest efforts at
experimental sound design and is very much
autobiographical as the themes of change and identity
are ever present....

2. The 10 remaining original copies of Chroma will be
made available via the Hypnos store shortly.

3. Robert Rich has completed mastering my latest
release Drifts. It is a DRAMATIC departure from all
previous works as it is far more rhythmic and
song/theme oriented. I am very, very pleased with
Robert's work, and will have much more news on the
release in the coming weeks & months.

ENJOY!
