PLAYING TO WIN: HOW-TO GUIDE REQUIRED??
The times are a'changing. But what do they call for?
More than ever, I personally feel compelled toward movement - the need for depth and speed. In all my aspects of endeavour, I feel trapped by inertia, the slow accretion of old traditions and practices. Whether the way companies operate or the way orchestras programme and finance their art.
Perhaps I'm overwhelmed psychically by my own "angoisse", that terror of super-abundance and superfluity which careers through modern culture and commerce. This is the sort of freakish buzz Roquentin inhaled in Sartre's 'Nausea'. The contemporary may betimes feel nauseous.
Cut the Metaphysics! What does it take to win, not just turn up and play in today's hyper-fluid world? Gustav Mahler proclaimed, "Tradition ist Schlamperei'. Modern commerce and politics/economics seems like Heisenberg Uncertainty in action..
How can we "feel" and act not just faster, but smarter, higher??
What does it really take, today, to win?!
And how can We do it now? Right now???
