a word ...

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.
