What, Exactly, Is Music ?     by Ocean  

Music does not need to have been produced by organized sequences, whether planned or not. It need not have been channeled through an instrument made for melodic or rhythmic purpose.

Music is as simple as a random breeze through a pine tree, making a sweepingly beuautiful sound, or the resonating echo of a mockingbird’s song, or the might rush of a wave crawling up the beach.

Nature is filled with effortless music. Even the crack of a dried branch in the woods is music. Everything in nature is music. 

Music abounded in pre-human history. 

When we were still creatures of the sea, musical sounds under the water must have inspired our souls to stretch, and our wills to push, until we developed ever more sensory skills in order to soak in the lovely tones of our surroundings. Next time you’re at the ocean, stay underwater for a moment and make some squeals, some laughs, some sounds, or just speak, or sing. Witness the feeling of the watery vibrations you’ve caused, and hear the difference between air sounds and sea sounds. It’s fun !

And did you know that fish talk? Yes, and perhaps they also sing ! People often do not give our fellow beings much credit for the similar ways they enjoy their lives and use their senses so like our own. Sea horses couples arise when the dawn light filters into their sea green world, and they both sing and dance their love for each other, and for our Creator, I’m sure, as we all do, if we’re in joy and alignment with the universe.

All other animals take joy in sound, in making their own music. Our cats clearly take pleasure in purring, as they surround themselves in the warm vibes of throaty expressions of happiness.

Dogs bark in ecstasy when we play with them, and whimper in sympathy when we’re blue, and of course they sing along with us, whether they’re in tune or not!

Horses, guinea pigs, elephants, et al, and every being in between, whether we can hear them or not, make sounds that are pleasing, like music. Some breeds, like the Humpback Whale, use organized tunes – songs – and they develop new ones as they go along  – usually one for each mating season, which individuals remember and perhaps add to.

Birds, the virtuosos of the world, putting us primates to vocal shame, create their own songs, compose, recall songs from their childhood, and obviously sing their hearts out when their moods prevail.

Whether, as we do, other beings have the vocal chords and the tongue formation, the palate, and the teeth in the right places in order to utter words or not, we know that all other animals communicate however they can, and it’s obvious that they also create sounds that convey their emotions.

Hippos sing the blues? Of course they do.

Alligators chrip with glee? Yes.

Just imagine what life sounded like, once upon a time, when we were still tree-dwellers, when the forests and jungles were filled with voices of all types, with sounds made from countless individuals of many, many diverse species, and we were blessed with the fulness of nature that we will never know again.

Not only primates are blessed with vocal self-expression. 

We all make music – all living beings, all places, all of the elements on our planet, and it does soothe our souls.

Google Tech Talks August 27, 2008 ABSTRACT The Undersea Voyager Project is a multi phase program developed by undersea explorer, Capt. Scott Cassell, founder and CEO of Undersea Voyager Project (a non profit research, and undersea exploration company). The Undersea Voyager Project is designed to utilize manned submersibles to take a physical look at the first 100-1000 feet of seawater, (which is the largest environment on Earth) on a five year continuing mission to explore the unseen as they circumnavigate the Earth underwater. The UVP will break several existing world records and set even more. It has been suggested this project equals man’s first steps on the moon. The focus is on the seas relationship with the global climate, and the discovery of new life. To explore to further man’s knowledge of the most hostile environment on Earth, the deep sea. Scott will speak of this past experiences in undersea marine research (including his work with giant squid), his present work at Undersea Voyager and future plans for ocean exploration.
