I Am a Strange Loop

There is a similarity between all forms of art. I Am A Strange Loop, by Douglas Hofstadter, explains this.

Does the score of a Bach fugue contain a trace of the composer’s soul or essence? Certainly there is a world of difference between the Old Master himself and a folio of his sheet music lying waiting to be played. Nevertheless, that objective musical notation does represent a pattern of symbolic activity that once danced through Bach’s brain. And when we listen to a particularly sublime passage, Hofstadter speculates, are we not in some sense sharing in Bach’s subjectivity – that is, in his experience?
Poetically speaking, Bach, Mozart, Shakespeare, Plato, Socrates and our loved ones can live on through us insofar as we can see the world through their eyes.

The event, Lush Finesse, is scheduled for October 2nd, from 7-11 pm., at Fremont Hills Country Club, in Los Altos Hills. For further details please see http://lushfinesse.eventbrite.com
