BEAT THE DRUM?

BEAT THE DRUM?

Beating excites and confuses the ego of the listener. The rhythm changes slowly or decisively or in expectation, but it conditions the attention that is put in a state of tension and expectation. Now the egos in conditioned listening are a collective that self-conditions to the unconscious rules of the collective that acts as a single great identity. The drummer is already master of the time of that collective of egos and can follow the rules elaborated by the common blood of the tribe to give solution to the anxiety expectation of the common desire to reach a comforting solution for that part of living blood that demands answers:

Will it rain?

Will the enemy attack?

Will more calves be born?

Has the Rambo of the storms been calmed?

Why is the moon so red?

Will my wife give birth to a boy?

These are thoughts that are not always expressed publicly; all together they create a tension of expectation that will receive for each a slice of response as an image generated by the collective ritual.

We are not just one solitary one, we are many brothers who agree to live as a tribe…
