The concept
of Yin-Yang |
|
|
|
The ubiquitous icon
above represents the concept of duality inherent in nature.
|
|
Yin and Yang do not exist
independently, but as parts of a whole. |
|
You may note that
inside the Yin is a part of the Yang and vice-versa.
|
|
Apply this principle to
music: Yin represents a note while Yang is the silence. |
|
Yin the legato and Yang
staccato. Low frequencies and high, loud and soft. |
|
Pushing the beat or dragging
it. Overstated versus understated.
|
|
When properly aligned, Yin
and Yang form a work of perfection. |
|
Note that two
Yins or two Yangs do not serve the same purpose.
|
| Strive for balance in all
aspects of musical expression and listen.... |
|
When you hear the
Yin, play the Yang.
