I started making music. I picked guitar and electronic music production. It seems to be the nexus of all the things I found interesting in my life: creativity, esoteric knowledge, geometry and mathematics, language, technicality.

I never thought I’d go down the music path seriously but now it’s the only thing I can generate a sense of purpose from and I am enjoying it. Music is the perfect universal thing to unify all abstractions in life in a common core. It seems the ancients had this knowledge but over the years learning music became less and less mandatory and or important.

Music, I’ve come to learn, _is_ the universal language between all things and connects to everything in a very real way to such an extent it can show the relation between abstract models in a tangible way because it’s the bridge between realities. For instance color, geometry, frequency, scales, and ratios/celestial orbits. They all integrate (have in common with music).

Sentience etymologically is a Being which feels; to feel is to aware of vibrations from frequencies, music is the experience of integrating all the senses into one.

Just my thoughts and experience. Feel free to ignore.
