Longhurst Reading

Longhurst talks of how those that occupy the space of the mind transfer knowledge, that there is a palpable separation between mind and body. The body has needs and is subject to its own set of rules. Sometimes, when composing music, I wonder what it would be like to be an incorporeal being. My body requires me to eat, go to the bathroom, get exercise, etc… While these tasks can be fulfilling in their own right, at times they get in way of working, and limit my ability fulfill my mind. That being said, I need my body to play instruments and sing, so it ends up being a balancing act between my body and my brain’s requirements.
