ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses composing and thoughts of the modern percussion revolution. It explains what sort of writing would exist outside of the mercantile mind. Capitalism is not just an economic structure for the exchange of goods and services. Capitalism is an epistemological system of thought, often a governor of all we think and do. Certain cognitive structures cannot easily exist in capitalistic mind architecture. Picture a map. It does not include a picture of everywhere. It has its limits-so it is with the mind models of capitalism. It is an architectonic filter. The author's music calls for a utopian present, rather than resignation and acceptance of an imperfect present. It is the author conviction that through training their senses in the arts and philosophy, it is possible to create a world without violence, hunger, and poverty, both material and spiritual.
