Current mood:nonsensical
vorrei avvertire i miei amici italiani che ho organizzato a Ripatransone (AP), dove risiedo, una serie di incontri di filosofia su cinque libri che commenterò insieme agli iscritti (l'iscrizione è gratuita e si scrive o si telefona al comune): Zarathustra di Nietzsche; Daodejing; Ricordi, sogni e riflessioni di C. G. Jung; Frammenti di un insegnamento sconosciuto, di Ouspensky; un quinto libro a sorpresa, ancora da stabilire, desunto dal lavoro precedente. Si svolgeranno l'ultimo sabato di ogni mese (novembre-marzo prossimi), dalle 16 alle 18 (credo). L'iniziativa si chiama "La biblioteca di Babele", e penso vi interesserà molto. Sarà un'occasione per risentirci e ritrovarsi. Prevedo di utilizzare anche filmati commentati, come un documentario su Jung e il film di Peter Brook su Gurdjieff...

I'm available for music collaboration with anyone. An only condition: the songs will be created in Creative Commons License. I believe that this form is necessary, and that music will evolve in this direction.

So, anyone who is interested in music collaboration with me may write and propose it to me. That's all!

hear you later, my dear friends...

Current mood:  calm
I think that meditative music must be based on improvisation, on the mood of the moment that you can't regain anymore. On recording, the first take is to be chosen.

It shouldn't be necessarily relaxing, so that none may confound meditative music and new age music.

It may be hypnotic, but it doesn't necessarily induce a kind of trance.

To enjoy this music you have to get rid of the categories of beautiful and ugly. More often than not, it's a music of a school, or an esoteric teaching and as such it has to be heard.

You may dance along with that music or be still, as you like.

This kind of music has been practised for a long time, and it will always exist.

I would like to take the concept of "friendship" in a narrowest, as it were true, way.

I've decided to delete some "friends" of mine from the list. I'm hinting at they who never write to me and/or play a music I don't like.

If you belong to these categories and don't want to be deleted let me know. Who knows, it would be a chance to become (true) friends...

best regards to everybody.

Lenny Lendon

PS: It will take time to make clean, you know.

here is a link to an old essay of mine about an album of David Sylvian and Fripp, The First Day, that was published on an old fanzine. Enjoy!

there are a few pages of my book Orient Pop, The Music of the Spirit on the new site of David Sylvian's fans: www.davidsylvian.net, that is, the front and back cover, and the chapter on David (on English translation). My interview with David will be soon there. won't you take a look at it?

Nel numero di Rockerilla in edicola c'è un'ottima recensione di NoThought, trasmessami dall'ufficio stampa della mia label, Dharmsound. eccola:

.."Se vi dicessi che dietro il Moniker di Lenny Lendon si
nasconde un esmimio professore universitario nonchè filosofo, scrittore
e saggista. Se vi dicessi che Lenny Lendon è uno studioso dei "non
luoghi", quei posti nei quali si riesce ad accedere solo attraverso la
meditazione pura, attraverso l'abbandono del corpo e della mente, il
tutto usando l'ascolto intenso del suono. Se continuassi dicendovi che
questo è il suo primo lavoro e il risultato è, a dir poco,
sorprendente. Musica creata espressamente per la meditazione che nulla
ha a che vedere con la pace plastificata dei finti giardini Zen, o con
il delirio naturalistico dei canti delle balene. Piuttosto andrei a
scomodare (ovviamente con il dovuto rispetto) uno Stockhausen o un
Richard D. James in vena ambient. Assolutamente sorprendente.
.." Mirco Salvadori (voto: 8/10)

niente male...

In the latest number of Rockerilla, one of the
best Italian music magazines, there is a very good review about NoThought.
....



............

A well-respected University teacher hides
himself behind the Lenny Lendon nickname; he is a philosopher, a writer, and an
essayist. He is a knower of the “not places” as well, where you can enter only
by means of pure meditation and the giving up of the body and mind, thanks to a
deep listening to the sound. This is his first work, and the result is
surprising, to say the least. This music has been created for meditation, and
it has nothing to do with the plastic peace of some fake Zen gardens, or the
naturalistic crazy for whales songs. In this connection, I would rather quote
(with the due respect, of course) Stockhausen or Richard D. James in ambient
version. It’s absolutely amazing (evaluation: 8/10).
