mene mene tekel upsharin

I requested complete or even basic background info on Raga Mela
Hanumatodi a month ago... it has been enough fucking time and not a single damn
response - even a note sayin' "I am looking it up for you" - & I know there are peeps
out there that know at least bleedin' something.
Also pretty much all my postings in the past month or more have been
blithely ignored. How can I learn anything or contribute to the microtonal
community without feedback?
I get the substantial feeling that peeps just delete my postings unread.
Guess I freak-out some peeps' comfortable lil wonderbread worldview...
Understandable,
I will not waste my time AND my effort(s) or be an irritant in your
existences any further...

Goodbye.

The German word for "noise" _Geräusch_ is derived from _rauschen_ "the
sound of the wind," related to _Rausch_ "ecstasy, intoxication" hinting at some
of the possible aesthetic, bodily effects of noise in music. Scientist Phil
Uttley "said the music of a black hole could be called improv." In "comparison
to a specific artist or style, he said the late Greek composer Iannis Xenakis.
"Scientists say music is ubiquitous in Nature (Earth itself) and shows up in
the arrangements of the planets, in seascapes, and even in our brainwaves."
'Flicker Noise' - Nature's inaudible rhythms & patterns are in everything -
heartbeats, climate change, X-ray outputs, in interplanetary magnetic fields....

"It's the greatest achievement to be able to hear the sounds of the world,
all the sounds, as part of some vast musical composition with no beginning or
end, but infinite nuance, endless layers and parts in the score... Your ears are
trained when you can take it all in, not just what you like to hear." - David
Rothenberg

"Any sufficiently advanced music is indistinguishable from noise" (after
Arthur C. Clarke's aphorism that any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguisable from magic.)" - John Chalmers, in email response to the quote _The
Difference between Music and Noise is all in your Head_

"... simple, chaotic, anarchic and menacing.... This is what people of today
have lost and need most - the ability to experience permanent bodily and
mental ecstasy, to be a receiving station for messages howling by on the ether from
other worlds and nonhuman entities, those peculiar short-wave messages which
come in static-free in the secret pleasure center in the brain." - Slava Ranko
(Donald L. Philippi)

Hanuman,

My experience in being on the internet for many years is that
the most common reason for getting no reactions to a question is
simply that nobody knows. I'm on several technical mailing lists
and it happens to me all the time.

I can tell you the reasons why I didn't respond to your question
about mela "Hanumantodi". It wasn't a very specific one, I don't
know any "background story" about it, I've never heard a performance
of it, and if you wanted to know the notes, you hardly needed my
help since it's one of the 72 melas and there must be a hundred
websites which have a list of them.

I haven't deleted your posts without reading, but haven't
taken them very seriously either.

Zaijian,

Manuel
