God doesn't need to know what time it is.


Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.

Eric Clapton hasn't owned this  Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?

For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.

I discovered immediately listening his music he was a genius but listening the  interview (which duration is around 1h37 m. not the 3 hours indicated) with him let no DOUBTS about his experience, musical or spiritual and intelligence and humility which is mind blowing....

It is one of the best musician interview i ever listen to because of his deep understanding of music...

 

Yes OP....

I love  him very much....His playing improvisation are extraordinary and all musicians around him play more for him than with him....This  says a lot about genius....

mahgister-

You’re probably know Pat Martino had an incredible comeback story after losing his memory/playing ability. He overcame major challenges.

Very good joke! 😊

This is what happens when people read the Robb Report.

 

God doesn’t need to know what time it is.

But he gave to Pat Martino the right beat impulse...

And time here redefine itself as some auto-adjoint operator in Hilbert space...Thanks to Alain Connes a God servant ....

Music for sure retained even before it was discovered by mankind some flavor from quantum mechanic in his heart...

I apologize to all but i could not resist this "metaphor"....

😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉☺

 

I am gald you catch it immediately....

Ostad Elahi play around "motivic rythms" to awake us, he does not play "music"...

It is not esthetical, like a drop from a plane without parachute over a volcano is not an esthetical experience but first  an existential one...

Mathematics which could be for sure an esthetical experience are also and mainly an existential  abyss...

My deepest respect to you...

Mahgister-

Ostad Elahi is new to me. First thing that comes to mind- "steam of consciousness" listening.

 

I am glad that you catch it immediately...

This is not  so much music than  rythm of the cosmos awaking our body/brain/consciousness...

But wait what Pythagorus said about music of the spheres?

My deepest respect to you....

 

 

@mahgister

That music you posted does not merely resonate in the ear but in the entire body nervous system and still more subtle aspects. It’s about as far from "ear candy" as can be imagined!

 

I will change the subject matter from "racism" and " conspiracy" and other problems which are way over our heads, because geopolitic and consciousness history is more complex than audio anyway, and audio is not understood in many audio thread, people arguing mainly about gear instead of thinking about acoustic and psycho-acoustic... I will change the subject matter to acousic/music and prime number theory with a riddle linked to Riemann Zeta problem and music... 😁😊😎😉 This is my facorite music piece...

This will mute those who see only ONE conspiracy everywhere and those who pretend that there is none anywhere....

Great observation!

Thanks...

But  "ideology fan boy" dont mind to understand a problem...They apply the same solution to anything  at infinitum....

be influenced by -- borrow -- appropriate -- plagiarize -- steal

Somebody tell me exactly where each one of these ends and the next one begins.

Cultural appropriation is this year's soupe du jour.  It will cycle off the menu in due course.

Thanks for being gracious to all of us here...I only try to imitate you a bit ... 😊

My best to you....

@mahgister +1 Gracious, but unrequired. ;)

Actually, we all are ’on time’, all the time.

It’s just not the one you may have expected at the time...

 

Your ideological revising of history is not to my liking sorry... I will not discuss that here and why...

i will not go and take out street names and statues in a systematic ideological war...

And i am too old to admire male chemically modified swimmer in a feminine pool...

And i dont like globalist and transhumanist agenda either...

Anything else?

I am not vaxx....

I dont like Biden ,Trudeau nor Trump...Nor Macron Nor Xi and neither Putin...

i Like Kennedy, De Gaulle, Eisenhower and perhaps half of Churchill....

The general i like the most is General Wrangel for his human conduct in the saving evacuation of the lost white armies against the red...

My most admired personal historical hero is Richard Burton...Not the Actor... And not a "woke" consciousness by all means but an awaken one if you dare to read his life and achievement..... Think about Freud and Levy-Strauss , superman and Indiana Jones or Lawrence of Arabia , and Shakespeare in one single individuality and it is him...He spoke 45 languages among other things and was one of the greatest swordsman of his time......And discovering the Nile source at this time in history was like going in Antartica or walking on the moon...He spoke arab so perfectly than no arab ever detected that he was an englishman the first one walking in the forbidden Timbuctu or the Mecca without being killed...Think about this feat...

 

i apologize for my rant....

 

😁😊

 

 

Perhaps you are right about Clapton disgusting alleged words... I never read them...i reacted to your phrasing ideological use of word...

But i dont like "culturally appropriated" concept... At all...

The point your post illustrate is precisely this: it is not a free country anymore in Canada for example or in US...

your attack on Clapton being racist and asking almost for his banishment is an example...

Our sleeping woke Trudeau illustrate it well...

i side with free thinkers not with sheeps ideologue like you....

I am too old to be "reformed" by imprisonment in reeducation camp...

 

 

@mahgister Hey, it’s a free country.
People can side with David Duke, Tucker Carlson, anybody they want.

 

I dont like particularly Clapton, but oufff i dont like your virtue signaling post at all...

I am sure you cannot guess why....

Call me a " racist" it is way easier for your brain working .. 😁😊

I will side here with the "culturally appropriating" Clapton... Even if i dont listen his music at all...

 

This is the third Clapton-related thread in a couple weeks.

Sheesh.
You guys are aware he is a culturally-appropriating, virulent racist, right?

Do you own a beautiful hourglass? i am just curious....

@mahgister

I can understand, I collect antique tools. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

Sands Of Time™ Vintage Hourglass

i think that you are not an idiot and must know that everybody interested in watch mechanism and not only in Rolex brand name know that the first complex "watch" or mechanical computer was very ancient and unsurpassed before millenia pass over it ?

And astronomy/astrology of the greek is nothing save " sky fairy"...

You know that before Newton Archimedes genius anticipate calculus and theoretical physic?

Go back silent or post something which will be interesting TO ALL instead of trolling me...

When i answered your posts i gave ARGUMENTS...

Where does the imaginary sky fairy enter the story of watches?

Here is a Swiss watch maker thinking otherwise than your limited onlooker blind habit about greek "sky fairy":

 

 

My favorite "watch" mechanism would stunned any swiss match designer and was made more than 2000 years ago, by  a disciple of Archimedes if not the great man itself i dont know and nobody knows...

 

«God is the clock in your heart and  the clock maker himself but  you can throw the 2 hands of the clock at whichever time   you want to be...» Anonymus widow  of a watchmaker 

I usually dont use watch...

😁😊

Dont deduce from this fact that i am godlike but perhaps almost godlike because i am retired... 😎

I never collected books or music albums only purchase a great amount of the two but because i read them or listened to them...

Collecting or hoarding is a strange act for me, especially watch and matchboxes ...

But i must reveal to be fair and then i contradict myself here that i am in love with beautiful hourglass and if i was rich i may have collected many for their beauty also...

Human nature is complex ...

i just discovered that i could have been a collector after all....

i am a strange animal also after all....

 

The difference between an hourglass and a watch is striking, you wear a watch because you dont want to WATCH time itself...You wanted to be able to be DISTRACTED out of time or to worked inside a span of time and dont want to pay attention to objective time when wearing a watch...Save if you are very annoyed by your job and dream to be out each passing minutes...

But an hourglass is completely different, you must WATCH it with a relaxed mind , and pay attention and meditate about the flowing instants or grains of sand and time...

An hourglass is a meditation tool...

A watch is a distraction for working fools... 😁😊

And solar watch is another meditation tool like the hourglass and also like a watch a way to forgot time by marking it...

Solar watch are more difficult to collect at the same place though ! 😁😊

And all the beauty of the solar watch design is to be an instrument alone in a specific garden under a specific sky...

The object i will pay for though to be constructed for my collection of unique object would have been an old mechanical chinese sismograh with 8 dragons heads which liberate a ball and determine the direction of the epicenter......
