Asymmetric Biz Cult Episode 6.2.1: Self Doubt
I suppose this episode ought to be dedicated to Franklin McMahon.. who’s Media Artist Secrets was an influence on me doing this podcast.. and doing an episode on self doubt just somehow reminds me of something he would do.
This episode ends up being a fairly deep episode where we explore the roll self doubt plays in forming our consiousness decision making process. We, as you might expect at this point, do this via a journey into Psychoanalysis, Jungian Psychology, Buddhism, Nietzsche, and other fun stuff.
At a particular point in out journey we take a look at 3 musical school of thought.. Lets call it the “old school classical music” Jazz, and Chance based composition.. here’s some fun links that add to this conversation:
John Cage Indeterminacy
Modalism in Jazz
Stochastic Music
Algorithmic Composition
Sun Ra
John Zorn
Xenakis
John Cage
The Wheel of Fortune
For the business types in the audience, I should like to suggest that since musical composition is about “organizing sonic elements” studying composition can teach us something about business management.
