I have a bias toward sound so wrote from that perspective rather than the actual instrument. The double, or uprite bass instrument sometimes accompanies string quartets in modern recordings, but not as a member of the quartet itself. Sorry for the confusion.<br /><br />So, the cello for C1 because it's the lowest circuit.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-21492786634671935442021-11-10T08:21:22.436-08:002021-11-10T08:21:22.436-08:00I wrote and sent this very early yesterday before ... I wrote and sent this very early yesterday before seeing any other comments but for some reason it didn't get through so sending it again.<br /><br />Oh ho! I, for one, feel beyond honored to get appointed an O.T.O. O.H.O. Coincidentally, my current reading, <i>The CULT of Aleister Crowley</i> by J. Edward Cornelius touches upon the subject, parodied here, of the rightful O.H.O. I came across mention of that subject yesterday shortly after reading this blog. <br /><br />Outstanding writing about music in the OP. I haven't the slightest idea why Beethoven switched to string quartets after composing the 9th. The <i>Missa Solemnis</i> appears next in line for my Beethoven education.<br /><br />The reasoning behind my string quartet attributions has to do with how I mix them. I always start with the lowest register/pitched instrument, the bass and work my way up to the first violin. The quartet has to sound balanced across the audio spectrum from top to bottom. I imagine the Neurocircuits rising in abilities as the nervous system develops. Therefore I correspond the bass with C1. I include the autonomic nervous system as part of C1 which seems the base of the body; it always goes, keeping the body alive no matter what the other circuits do. The two violins, when isolated, recall the head brain chatter, the inner dialogue, of C3. I agree on the erotic aspect of the bass and feel that contributes to the sexual component of C4 which I correspond with the entire quartet.<br /><br />I ordered <i>The Skeptical Inquirer</i> directly from their website and have received one issue, so far. Anyway, I don't think anyone misses anything of any importance anyhow by not seeing it.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-35867753978861033142021-11-10T07:30:13.682-08:002021-11-10T07:30:13.682-08:00Tom, the cello has a womanly shape.Tom, the cello has a womanly shape.Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-86180325315213736362021-11-10T07:02:40.811-08:002021-11-10T07:02:40.811-08:00Eric, your reasoning for how you assign which inst...Eric, your reasoning for how you assign which instrument of the string quarter to which circuit seems reasonable to me, but why do cellos seem"erotic" to you?

Is that the lumpy in front and usually hairy in the back non-verbal event one, or the one that does the thinking?<br /><br />I actually bought a copy of Pessoa's Book of Disquiet very recently. Given the structure (or lack thereof) of this non-book, I think I'll have it sitting on my table and will just pick it up at random every now and then in the future. Looking forward to that.<br /><br />"Pessoa was a prolific writer, and not only under his own name, for he created approximately seventy-five others, of which three stand out, Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis. He did not call them pseudonyms because he felt that they did not capture their true independent intellectual life and instead called them heteronyms. These imaginary figures sometimes held unpopular or extreme views." (Wikipedia)<br /><br />In effect, it could be said that Pessoa was creating for himself a new reality tunnel with every heteronym. No wonder he was interested in the occult.<br />I do find it amusing that someone who many suspect died a virgin could have been considered as head of a sex magic cult.<br />I encourage everyone not familiar with him to go look up Pessoa.Spookahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682642534331240023noreply@blogger.com
