Entrainment - what IS it?
well it's defined in a fair few ways. This type is not Air
entrainment or the intentional creation of tiny air bubbles in
concrete but better defined like this:
entrainment = the ability to change your own life-pulse in response
to somebody else's. (this one comes from Ben Ratliff .. see him
talking here.)
Now, entrainment is a new word for me but clearly I've lived with it
as a road reality and a musical reality and it hangs in the heart of
my inner raver.. the raver that doesn't want to die. Anyone who's
been in synch has felt it. I guess it's like a kind of belonging too
but there's a science to it. It's a brain thing... studied, and
somewhat understood. On a certain level it seems it can be compelled
into being..or at least brain WAVE activity can be synced to a kind
of clock that's generated by a kind of byproduct of perception. This
might be a contentious way of putting it but the use of binaural
beats, monaural beats, and isochronic tones is an odd thing to me
(you'll have to look these words up). Not so much of a buzz. Bit of a
cold buzz. They seem to be used as way to induce a meditative state.
Pulling the like a boat on a still lake.. calming the chaos of the
brain activity and focusing it into something regular for the sake of
FEELING what that's like... I guess that's not so bad.

Bloggishness Hello
14 July 2008
Those who care to dip they're minds, like toast, into the soft boiled egg of this blog should be prepared to add their own seasoning.
For my part, I'll try not to overcook it. Nothing I hate more than an overcooked egg.
Along with the eggs, I'll try and share some tasty whee gems and oddities that have fallen my way, perhaps the odd reflection even..I'll try not to overcook it though. I'll try and share things that have caught eye, ear or/and my minds ear. All that. There'll be links... the obligatory youtube links and all that good stuff.
Think of this as a bunch of mails from a distant pal. Sometimes they might just be a line long. little bit of feel good.... I got my lyrics to live!
I'll try and keep my end of the bargain and not slip off the map completely. You just bring the pepper OK?
My voice might get replaced by capable others as things go on...see I'm rolling with a hell of a band right now, they have strong voices and can cook all kinds of omelets and stuff, so expect a post from them too.
They already have sent evidence to this site.. some of you may have been introduced to various edible antics of the road. There's more of that to come.
Any road... before I overcook it on the first post
