Failing desperately to name drop ' I observe culture . IDM was an attraction to me by understanding music and dancing that was greater than just a drug experience. Music and performance that facilitates people to recognize their collective identity and to form social bonds that strengthen community. I recognize dance music as having a a positive collective force. It brings people together in a positive pleasurable experience and provides them with a heightened sense of understanding towards the group. The music stimulates conversations of emotive reasoning, and details the observation of delicate details and textures. In your average social encounter, there are no structures that allow individuals to explore (with honesty) each others minds and hearts. Intelligent Dance Music has the ability to transcend the standard practices of music culture and challenge the listener to respond to or question their environment. This is done through the physical motion of dancing, creating a body experience of understanding fluency, discordance, confluence and other abstract concepts. When in a collective setting the group can observe each other and share a communal understanding, enjoyment and celebration of being human. .simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
