A Metaphysical Rejection of Brass. What
especially fails much so-called classical music and even jazz for me … is the
prevalence of brass, whether in relation to silver or bronze, to metachemistry or antimetaphysics,
as a kind of instrumental paradigm of conventional theism, not to say autocracy
and antitheocracy, at what might be described as the
northwest point of the intercardinal axial
compass. No one who rejects Devil the
Mother hyped as God in what, compared to convention, must seem an atheistic stance
… can possibly be complacent about brass instruments in music, since there is
assuredly a correlation between brass, as a fiery order of wind, and metachemistry and/or antimetaphysics,
the fiery and anti-airy elements par excellence.
Whether this brass is strictly a metachemical
parallel in starry silver or a kind of solar antimetaphysical
parallel in sunny bronze, the fact remains that it accords with a musical
exemplification of autocracy and antitheocracy such
that is at the roots of all societies that defer to Creatorism
in the sense of Devil the Mother hyped as God and, again in free soma, the Antison of Antigod ‘done down’ as
the Devil. Thus there is something Old
Testament-like about the utilization of brass, especially trumpets, and one
feels that no composition with brass in it could possibly appeal to someone who
was significantly metaphysical and thus committed, transcendentally and
idealistically, to what properly appertains to God the Father and, in bound
soma, to the Son of God. Even those who,
in female vein, would approximate to antimetachemistry
should, one feels, have an aversion to brass, not least in respect of trumpets
or horns, that may yet manifest in paradoxically bound somatic terms through
the utilization of a muting device coupled, it may be, to some other parallel,
perhaps physiological, to a contiguously encircled star. For bound brass, as it were, must be the
corollary of free wind, in the sense of woodwind without mutes or other constraining
devices … at least up to and including mankind-centred music, which would have
been overhauled, alpha-wise, by free brass of an electronic or synthetic order
in typically contemporary vein which, if it didn’t spurn woodwind altogether
made sure it was relegated to a subordinate position that was effectively
psychically bound, like some contiguously-encircled cross. Across the sensual/sensible divide of
contemporary civilization, however, we are really talking synthesizers rather
than synthesized brass or woodwind, and therefore music would be beyond the
utilization of brass or woodwind of any description, making use of samples or
original synthetic tones that could create a wind or brass or, more correctly, antibrass effect without having to compromise with a
mankind-like shortfall from cyborgistic requirement,
the sort of requirement that characterizes global civilization at the expense
of both Western and Eastern civilizations.
Therefore one would be beyond brass altogether, even more so than those
rock groups that are guitar-based rather than synthesizer-led and yet keen to
avoid, for reasons best known to themselves, any connection with brass. I must say that I respect their integrity in
this matter and feel that there is a common bond between radical ‘men of the
people’ and what might be called revolutionary intellectuals that unites them
in opposition not only to the utilization of brass but to all types of music,
including some so-called rock music, that are either based in or oriented
towards brass. No atheist in our sense
of the word could possibly enjoy such music, and that is why those of us who
are consciously, if not unconsciously, oriented towards transcendentalism and
idealism, which requires in the female an antifundamentalist and antimaterialist corollary, more usually try to avoid such
music and to reject it as symptomatic of all that stands in the way of a
metaphysical and antimetachemical revolution such
that would save theocracy from the autocratic clutches of Devil the Mother
hyped as God and allow what properly appertains to God … the Father to
transcendentally reign over the antifundamentalism of
the Antidaughter of the Antidevil
in unequivocally church-hegemonic vein, just as in state-subordinate terms the
Son of God must take idealistic precedence over the antimaterialism
of Antidevil the Antimother
if justice is to be done to both metaphysics and antimetachemistry
at the northeast point of the axial compass for all eternity and anti-infinity,
God and Antidevil without end.
