“how could the creative-conservative intensities of musicking open up to alter-economic models, moving beyond late capitalist extraction practices and towards the idea that ‘work’ is something you do for a different nested ecosystem?”
“Practices of musicking emphasize the pleasure of producing music and dance more than the production itself. In this verb form, musicking immediately becomes something that you participate in, that you are active in creating. You are not separate from the sound you are hearing or making; it is all one in the becoming polyphonic intensity.On a physical level, this includes the obvious aspects of breathing, voice, and gestural movements. Socio-somatic resonance also happens on a deeper physiological level. (…) Taking all this into account, allows to appreciate why the pleasure of making music is as significant, or even more significant than the music as a result, an outcome, an achieved milestone. (Polyphonic) Singing, bodily shaking, or similar rhythmic movements are both pleasurable and generate healing qualities.”
