at last i think i have found someone who might understand why i stopped learning bamboo flute. it kills the fun in listening to a great piece. Before i started learning, i would imagine being deeply submerged in the tune and playing flute, oblivious to the outside. But thats not reality when you are a flute player. that is when you are imagining yourself as a flute player.

Also I stopped doing drawings. I hope someday they make a system that can play music or draw picture from what you listen in your mind or see on your mind's canvas.

I guess that might dramatically change how we practise these trades though. Also i feel very excited to dream about how it might change the outcome.

Now, as it has ever been, you need to practice drawing lines and colouring and shading etc relentlessly even though it may be true that you can see the picture vividly on a canvas before even starting to draw. This is training your hand and nervous system so you can use it to exactly express what you are seeing in your minds eye. May be the instrument will help us immensely by removing this barrier altogether. Then you can truly devote all your time to imagining better pictures and wont lose or be sorry to lose some works to errors of your limbs or whatever. even old painters or novice but imaginative sharp minds will be able to paint in no time.

but i guess the effect of using / discovering new medium will be lost on them or somehow the unique features of the new medium will be digitized fast enough and available to work with, instead of learning to do with your hands.

i dont see computers destroying our creativity by reducing menial repetitive jobs. i hope that kind of technology wont harm either...rather it might hasten and help the whole process.

same goes for music. a lot of dull sessions to accustom your body into making what you hear in your minds ear will be eliminated and help us do much better...if not magnificently so.
