“Peer Comments”

Peace Bloggers,
Today I also will be giving a peer review. I was prompted to give this review based on my own personal experience from being in a car accident, confined to a bed and not being able to move a muscle for many weeks. Displaced from everything I have ever known, and pondering what the future holds for me, I found myself in a new career, a new passion, immersed in the sound of music. This presentation by Sterling Bond is very thorough. It is educational and well planned out in the since that it gives a very unique view of Brian Eno. Poignant and relevant quotes, this presentation gives a more personal look at the core of the man who has contributed so much to the art of music. During the Dick Flash interview, I was intrigued by Eno’s response to plagiarism. Of course no one enjoys being robbed, but it makes me think about, or take more seriously the protecting of my work from pirates. In this same interview, it also surprised me to learn that so many people don’t understand how collaborating with others can produce a better product for all to hear, have and cherish. Last but not least the MGMT Tribute performance gave me a chill, it became apparent to me that, electronic music, and the way he used it, can be seen as a type of perversion. The idea that the producer can go into his studio and take natural acoustic sounds and pervert them, bend and shape them to his or her desire. This is sort of like a chemist in a lab experimenting with nature. Ordinarily this would be a cause for concern, but in this instance, nothing blows up, nor is it ingested orally. Again bloggers, you know the drill. Add on and feel free to share these conversations with your friends. The link to this presentation is below. Until next time Peace.
