I am a musician and reading Kivy's and Hansick's works have allowed me to think about how I play and compose. I have considered why I am not so much a musician and more of a writer and it is because music is so distinctive in physical properties as opposed to conceptual ones. Music should not be abandoned though, I think it needs to go to a new path, and not repeat the same kind of song forms which we have seen throughout time.
Music theory is an excellent way to explore music and advance it. When I play through a piece of music, I find it important to look at what the musician does with the chords and notes and learn from it, as well as experience the emotion. Music relies very much on our ability to participate in the musical flow, which, I think is always relative back to natural sounds and the tempo of nature.
