its in my bloood
"Ethnomusicologists seek to understand the human processes within which music is imagined, discussed and made, and to relate specific musical sounds, behaviours and ideas to their broader social, cultural and political contexts. Studying individuals and societies all around the world, including the West, we aim to discover and document human musical life in its full richness and diversity."
I often ponder as to where I would be had I studied something like this instead. Maybe working under someone like him? Nonetheless, starting today, I will dedicate myself to collecting exotic, antiquated musical instruments which become available to me. Ideally, the next acquisition will be either a dijiridu, a doumbek, a tabla or maybe even a sitar. Never hurts to dream right?
