Anamnesis Track 8

ANAMNESIS

In philosophy, anamnesis (/ˌænæmˈniːsɪs/; Ancient Greek: ἀνάμνησις) is a concept in Plato’s epistemological and psychological theory that he develops in his dialogues Meno and Phaedo and alludes to in his Phaedrus. The idea is that humans possess innate knowledge (perhaps acquired before birth) and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge from within.

In 2003–2004, I made my first record with 1 SM57 mic, a small three-piece drum kit, an acoustic and electric guitar, an Access Virus analog synth, and Ableton 2. The nine tracks each represent the stages of Consciousness, as proposed by Spiral Dynamics and Ken Wilber’s work. Here’s a quick overview story. Each of my next nine posts will be dedicated to telling the story and meaning of each track-stage. Enjoy!

Stage 8 is about “Prepositional Mastery,” or the ability mix and match these Time and Space words in different ways to showcase different perspectives at what may be called the “Causal” stage of Consciousness. This framework is built upon systems within Systems, a META-holonic mindset that seems to be able to defy time and space with its ability to generate design systems that serve as fundamental frameworks for a fully-integrated existence.

This song is directly inspired by Four Tet, attempting to repeat word samples and keep it fresh and funky, but with a little deeper meaning by simply listing out most of the prepositions. The voice is Elizabeth, soothing the soul with Time and Spaceisms.

Unlocking Prepositional Mastery is like accessing the Rosetta Stone. All of one’s perceived Reality changes simply by swapping out these magical little words.
