is this a vegetable wrap?

I have never before considered that western music is all about tension and release, although now I notice it more often. However, it fascinates me that that is not how everyone views music. Many of the examples that we listened to seemed to go on for a long time without any particular plot. But then we learned that some cultures just play what ever their soul is musing at the moment. We call it improv, but perhaps that is music in its purest from. We see that mindset of music when a child is singing to him or herself. Not playing to tell, or pursue any particular way, just to create music. Our culture, I think, sometimes blinds ourselves with all our regularity and coordination in music. And although we set up these rules, I believe our culture now, more than ever before, has melded such a coloring pot of aesthetics and music. We have so many combinations of music and instruments from all over history and the world. It has created new colors of music that the planet has never yet been graced with. Now, I have been corrupted, in a good way, to observe with new shades of eyes. I am challenged to hear differently. Most importantly, exposure to other cultures requires me to be patient and hear pieces out. Often the true beauty and richness of a performance is not know until after most people's attention span. Also, I am learning to try to understand different aesthetics. There is music everywhere, any thing and anyone can express their soul in this way. Welcome to life!
