. And this is going to be my last post on the matter.

Good. Your post that triggered this discussion was uncalled for, TBH, and was reported by another member.

Any further posts on this issue will be deleted, with no prior warning or discussion.

I trust all members will understand this! Yes? Great!

I'd try Aion for the big orchestral drone, Okanagon for an exploration of a solo instrument, and Khoom for a bit of exotic singing.

Thanks once again for the recommendation; I listened with keen interest. I began with Aion and almost immediately felt a curious déjà vu, as if I had wandered into this world before. An association sprang to mind, not musical, but esoteric: Julius Evola. A quick check online confirmed that the coincidence was uncannily precise.

It seems that Scelsi and Evola were intellectually connected. Scelsi admired Evola's insights and, like him, drew inspiration from Eastern philosophies, mysticism and the pursuit of the transcendent, with a pinch of René Guénon for seasoning.

Seen from this perspective, Scelsi's music truly comes alive. Anti-modernist and traditionally minded, it regards the so-called modern world with scepticism, favouring perennial principles over what it sees as regressions. There is a compelling sense of transcendence throughout, which makes the experience quietly exhilarating.

That's a strong contender for the most mismatched cover with respect to music ever. Seville and Gaudi, seriously?

I was assuming that it was Gaudi's architecture in Seville, but I maybe wrong.

No, there's no buildings by Gaudí in Seville (or Madrid, for that matter). They're all in Catalonia, with the exception being some projects in the León region in the northwest of Spain.

Okay, I'm going to need to take a break from Mozart's Symphony No. 41 for a while.

I've been listening to a ton of recordings of it (both hip and non-hip), and not a single one has clicked, so I think I need to let my brain reset before I begin that process again.

This is my albatross.

I can envision a "dark timeline," where my entire recording setup is predicated on this search.

HIP or non-HIP, they're all hip!

Here, there, and everywhere.

I'm thinking about visiting Seville and Cordoba, as well as Galicia, next year!

Great. But avoid Seville and Cordoba in the summer months!

AFAIK, he never worked in or for Seville.

That depends on a thread we discuss on.

You've probably got it right. Individual doership is just a mirage. No one's really making choices; the true self neither decides nor acts, it simply is. So there's no one to blame and nothing to blame them for. Only compassion remains.

Ah right, what you're describing seems to be a pure state of enlightenment, which now makes more sense. However, even people who regularly seem to achieve such a state such as Eckhardt Tolle, still use the mind to choose to write his excellent book 'The Power of Now' for example. That's why your original statement 'When it becomes clear beyond the slightest doubt that nobody has a choice', had left me slightly confused and triggered my enquiry. Hope that makes sense.

Tolle's book is good. I read it about twenty years ago, but remember almost nothing of it. Still, all spiritual books are more or less about the same thing.
