“The Message of the Myth.” Moyers: Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth.
Prod. Catherine Tatge. PBS. WNET, New York. 22 May 1988.
While the entire Power of Myth series is a valuable resource, in this particular
segment Joseph Campbell explores duality in myths and stories. It is a good
reference for how we function and handle transition through stories and rituals.
*Class: “Pure Music.” San Francisco: Zambaleta World Music and Dance School,
2010. Teacher: Gautam Tejas Ganeshan, New Directions in Indian Music
Last semester and this summer, I took three classes in Indian Classical Voice and
“Pure Music” with Gautam. He opened my eyes to a new way of looking at music –
he showed how Indian music embraces and uses the space in between notes nearly
as much as the notes themselves.
Khan, Hazrat Inayat. The Mysticism of Sound and Music: The Sufi Teaching of
Hazrat Inayat Khan. Boston: Shambala, 1991.
It’s difficult to explain this book right now – all I can say really is that when I think
about my past work and try to explain it, all I know is that deep inside it, inside
everything, there is a sort of a “buzzzzzzzzz-hummmmmmmm” that emanates
from a deeper place than can be explained. This sound – or rather, it’s more than a
sound, it’s a vibration – does not only apply to myself, but is present in everything
around – the harmony of all objects, the buzz-hum for example, of an entire
stadium full of people milling around and interacting as viewed from the Goodyear
Blimp. I am hoping that reading this book will help me elucidate some of these
intuitions and help me explain them more effectively.
Lynch, David. Mulholland Dr. Los Angeles, 2001.
David Lynch’s storytelling style – seemingly random, but primally interconnected –
he tells much more than a story. The crux of his piece is in the passage that we go
through but that is never explicitly shown in the movie. His visuals draw out the
meta: A doorway that is gone through turns completely black as the camera
encounters it, and the resulting “emergence” on the other side, is as if we have been
taken through some kind of a portal. Doorways are, for Lynch, more than just
doorways.
Sottsass, Ettore. Design Metaphors. Milan: Idea Books, 1987.
Really great, contemplative book. Contains some interesting visualizations in the
section “Design for the destinies of man” in particular. Doorways are used as
metaphors for our trek into the future . The installations in the book use
architectural and design elements comprised mostly of fabric and string and places
them in mountains, deserts, etc.
Campbell, Joseph (editor). Man and Transformation: Papers from the Eranos
Yearbooks. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1964.
This may come in handy – not sure yet exactly how-
