Back into the hall after the most amazing gastronomic sensation that was Wild Earth.... and here we are being entertained in the MOST amazing way.....

MEAN as sound...

Connecting with the story of learning music... 

Idea - going with what appeals to you...

Life experiences, cultures, personalities... all determine our likes...

Creativity surrounds us... 

Why do certain things appeal to us?

2 elements in the complexity of taste:

• familiar to be accessible - known - personally significant
• different to be interesting - unknown - challenging

When these two come together in beautiful tension - there is the MAGIC of the experience...

Where do the MAGIC moments come from... establishing beautiful tension....

Multiple tracks to MAGIC in many ways... musically... in life... 

Beautiful tension... taking the lessons with you on the journey!

Creator or appreciator.. we can all grow in our appreciation of all around us... 

Experience of sharing in moments together...

Being in the moment... enjoying the moment... embracing the moment = MAGIC

Senses exploding with the MAGICAL sound... thanks a million Graeme James...
