Sounds from Innerspace

Recently I’ve been reading essays by Willard Van Orman Quine and Martin Heidegger and one idea I’m taking away from both of them is that there’s an ethereal period in both our ontological as well as our epistemological understanding of something new while we’re determining the right language to describe what it is. Ambient music is definitely in that ethereal zone. All you have to do is go to the descriptions from the artists themselves and it’s almost painful to witness first hand their desperate attempts to bridge the gap linguistically. Considering the impact music has on culture, finding a way to attach the correct langauge to ambient music is potentially a positive cultural revolution in the making.
