Lose Yourself

I remember waking up, gym, eating breakfast and then losing myself for 3 hours... Philippe showed us a 3 hour long video. Queer to the core, cut up, edited and modified in order to achieve this effect. It was one of the most bizarre videos i have ever seen. It made me write a small note after watching it, which is..."trance.... trance ?.... transcending.... transformation.... translating =?... trance... trick ?.... truth... treat ?..." the speakers in the video were very experienced people... who had well pretty well defined personal ideas of what sound and music are. There were people talking about many different aspects of it. One of them was talking of sound in the form of education... like when you teach a kid, his language at about the age of 6, you teach him alphabets first, then words and then sentences. And similarly unless you are "sound conscious" or are basically capable of appreciating it, you should not be exposed to it... One old man quoted a German philosopher's saying that the only two words that do not need reason to cause pleasure were....music....and....laughter....and he bursted out laughing. Well the video was indeed very strange. Many of them talked of Beethoven and Mozart and used big words like time, space and compared it to music...some thing like..."no beginning and no end"... it was a dreamy experience.. magical and sleepy at places too. Well the reason behind this was... for all i could understand, i found it mind boggling... and for all i couldn't understand, i found it extremely boring... well after that we had the English class, where i wrote down the stuff which happened in the previous class, the stuff maam dictated in that class and started doing time pass after that. One of the examples is below...first one by me and the other by noob Aman.
