…every inception of the creative act, by virtue of its very nature, is original. There is never a moment within the performance act at which any person can re-create anything. Recreation is a false concept that must always be discarded.
The performance act is Pure Creation in the Moment no matter Ability, Intention, Execution or Cognition. The origin of all performance art is the Awareness Of and the Expression Within the Absolute Present.
The intention to be original usurps, denies, and blasphemes the genuine trueness of the absolute present.
Performance is the ability to Live In, and Respond to the Present. Written music re-presents a moment in time that can never be re-created as such.
The Communication of Feeling in Sound through written music is merely a catalogue, a re-presentation of a moment in creation that has already been emoted.
The truest ambition of the performance artist is to have their Own Aesthetic be Entirely Open to the Present Moment through Study, Preparation, and Practice so as to Become an Audience to the already emoted written music. This intelligibility is made possible through the language of acoustics, the physics of sound through which the entirety of music’s formal precepts and practices resonate across ages.
Originality is inevitable; genuine expression of intelligible aesthetic is the difficult work and never guaranteed. The essence of every picture is its frame; the essence of every performance is the present. Music is the Muse that Animates the Present.
