“Music; I experience myself enabled to communicate and understand, with a limited vocabulary, far better than I have ever accomplished with words. The experiences of enlivening conversation as well as dissonant clashes have accompanied my improvised search.” Guy Collins
“Silence. Then a strum and superficial experience crumbles away. A plucked string and dogmatic thought disintegrates into nothingness. Another strum and judgment and accusation no longer exist. My present meaning has arrived within a musical jam session. Here, where the tones do the talking, in a rapid river of creative expression, crafty exclamation and inspired meditation, I find freedom.” Silas Beardslee

If it is, then this is a place to investigate.
