Watch this very important lecture on sound by Zen master Shunryu Suzuki. Suzuki penetrates precisely the approach that a composer must take towards sound. Becoming that sound completely, not just objectively perceiving sound as distant from oneself, but seeing sound As ones self.

Hello, Daniel, from Mark Foote in Petaluma-
may I share with you my explanation of Shunryu Suzuki's remarks about the bluejay; they're on my webpage, if you search on "Shunryu Suzuki zen ordinary activity", it should come up. We can all feel the truth of the relationships Suzuki describes; I describe those relationships again in different words, which help me to sit the lotus.
Thank you; yours truly,
Mark
Bern,
Write the music to these hip Jewish styled shows! Click www.SidneyGoldbergWriter.com and you'll see I write up a storm: book and lyrics to 20 musicals. Six have been completed by some of the most accomplished composers (see bio) and are currently under consideration, seven more are currently being written.
One of the funniest musicals ever written about nutty, meshugeneh Jews; Abraham, fulfilling his covenant with God by circumcising himself. "Abraham's Cut," is a hysterical story about the last Mohel, circumciser in the Bronx. The three desperate candidates who have come to be circumcised are petrified when they meet the Mohel, who turns out to be wearing very thick glasses, his hands shake and says he like to drink bourbon before all his circumcisions.
"That Bestseller," is a funny and sexual story about how the Bible was supposedly written by two starving messhugenehs 5,000 years ago.
At the bottom of my web, write music to the book and lyrics to a musical Trilogy on Genesis, the Torah. "In the Beginning" hopefully will become a classic. I Like your sound!
