A Musing

A musing is defined as “a period of reflection or thought,” and each of the songs on this mixtape is exactly that: a reflection on a single moment of my experience. I try to analyze these ideas individually to identify patterns that will give me a better understanding of my mental framework. The act of introspection can help us honestly and objectively reflect on our experience, and I believe that perspective can create the conditions for growth and improvement. I hope that by communicating these ideas, it will help us learn which parts of our experience are shared by others. The title’s double meaning also symbolizes the relationship between communication and entertainment in art. Beyond being a tool for shared introspection, art is able to entertain and create a sense of joy. Our first educational experience in this life is the act of play, exploring a new world with an unconditioned curiosity. We are most open to learn and grow when we are having fun, and life is most fun when it is amusing.
