Re: [Harp-L] RE: ART FORM vs. Science (Technical)

[MARK BURNESS <markwjburness@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Playing is art, science is the mechanism we use to describe/demonstrate what is 
happening in that art/the weather/real world scenarios. Any player that is 
playing to any artful degree is applying whatever technical skills they have. If 
that playing is not deemed to be exciting by the listener then it's not 
perceived artful...either due to perceived technical application, or due to the 
listener's taste. We'd need to commision some scientific research to know for 
sure....even then, that scientific research may only conclude that listener 
perception overrides any other content (as is regularly being found in sensory 
science, even on occasion in quantam physics) :-) 


Scientists will tell you everything is science, mathematicians will tell you 
that everything is maths, politicians will tell you that everything is politics, 
a bull will tell you....;-)

The study of Technical MAY (not necessarily) lead to ART that moves you. You
need the techniques so you can deliver what's in your head (and heart).

Study the technical, ART usually follows proportionally.

The parallels are many:
stand up comedy
welding
etc.
