The Floors Theory
The window is half open on the floor.
And the music which escape from it is a perfect slow blues.
The windows are all half open on the floors.
And from each floor escape his own distinctive music.
On the portal in the entrance is written the quote of somebody else :
" The human being distinguish himself by degree of progress ".
We could say in a similar way :
Humans are more or less close to God.
Or to take back the image :
Everyone settle down in his own floor
Which is basically the same idea.
The figure shows the different levels by starting with the ground floor.
This one represent the low aspects of the personality : mediocrity, hypocrisy, self-interest…
Then, the following floors develops the medium situations.
In the upper floors appears a better quality of thinking, of sharing and an extensive experience.
And higher, the doors would open the circles of spiritualties.
From the first basement starts the negative scale graduations.
A first entry in the darkness.
The ' I ' ego in its most extreme form as foundation.
The music turns out to be a precious witness when it comes to evaluate a society or a period.
Because there is no possible cheating on the process of creation itself.
And every level will create exactly the music which he " hears ".
A great guitarist will never play twice the same solo in the same way.
The melody seems then as infinite.
By going down the floors, the melody takes first a more superficial line
and crosses the different musical styles by dissipating little by little.
Then, the overall pattern begins to take a repetitive sequence.
The melody will finally completely fade out and give way to rhythmic bars
played by a drum embellished with some notes of bass or keyboard.
The decoration of the skeleton …
In the various basements are no windows anymore.
And the complete lack of feelings or humanity doesn't creates any music at all.
In the same way as the creation is going to be distributed in the different levels,
the auditor is positioning himself in the choice of its listening.
He will reject with its own position a song with a large gap on the downside
but also on the upside.
Well... the music that we hear escape from here comes in evidence from a top window.
It's a perfect slow blues.
With perfect licks.
A perfect, slightly crystalline sound.
A start of the lyrics after a long intro.
A perfect solo.
The work of a high-level artist.
The work of an upper floor.
