Secrets of Creativity: Transitional Creativity: Spiral Voice

What is this Blog about?

I am currently exploring the value of developing the concept the Bridge and other related sites as a free public resource, and writing a series of ebooks on the subject .. while exploring/researching it as a Post Grad and designing various complimentary software tools...
In this blog I explore techniques I have collected and developed for a social network space for people to Explore the bridge between Creative flow and Rational Thought".

"From the point of view of the larger planet, we proceed with an awareness that the whole system is far too complex or us to actually manage or control ....remember its a system that gave birth to us, so how then are we to interact in a way that is fruitfull?"
Brian Swimme

"Many of us have been trained perceive randomness as nothing but entropy, background 'noise' to be ignored, much as we are taught to treat the commons, yet the commons is the shared foundation of life...

The capacity to solve our problems is available , we are not goods in the hands of politicians and bankers...

Spiral Voice combines:

Acceptance of Flow with Choice of Focus

***Acceptance of Flow* means you can't "sing wrongly" this is a lie. (as long as you don't hurt yourself or anyone and respect other peoples space...)

All accepted song forms began by someone "singing wrongly" ...
think about it... this must be true...

The traditional response to this is that a few "geniuses" invent these special forms and the rest of us "normal people" copy them, this is an ideology that fits nicely with the accepted concept of intellectual property but has no more basis than the idea that there is a collective resource of creativity and forms we can "tune into"...

The point of "Spiral Voice" is to explore this...

It is not about measuring and judging

*It is about experimentation, appreciation and freedom***
An Integrative Creative Technique: Spiral Voice Part 1

The Technique of Spiral Art previously outlined can be applied to Vocal Expression too. It is based on the premise that allowing a random flow while focusing the attention on a source will pick up some aspect of that source... (this premise emerges itself from initially criticising the "duality" of 'randomness' and 'information' and the consequent experiment with synthesizing them)

One of the previously mentioned pairings and a term for synthesis are selected creating a trinity ...

The maijor one being Acceptance (of what emerges randomly) and Vison(Focus on a positive aim/ideal)

so , for example, we can make a random sound while focussing on

Union - (earth image, female archetype (mother), )) & Freedom (sun image, male archetype(father))

(you could use religious trinities, choosing whichever you are happiest with is the important thing)

And for their Synthesis : Our Galaxy(spiral), Natural Self etc

The MAIN focus should be on the Synthesis - allowing an emergent vibration that unfolds the inherent nature of that synthesis and its stability against imposed dualistic constructs (from language games (stereotypes) and the media and corporate interests (and social norms generated by the media)

Note with each the process of focus on the ideal and acceptance of emergent sound operating together...
