Organic Arts

Organic arts is a vital new movement

Organic arts are a vital new movement in the visual arts and music. Recognizing the beauty in natural forms (as have all artists down the ages) these artists seek to plumb the basic generative rules behind forms in nature. In film, it is certainly truet hat since the impossible can now be achieved quite easily, that even the most spectacular scenes lose their value because the audience knows that they have been created by digital artists rather than having been performed for real.

The same applies to music. Music is a form of emotional communication, and when an instrument is played by a skilled performer, it can conduct that emotion from composer, through performer to listener.Cotton fan, 'Weavers'

But when machines are allowed to have too much influence, then that emotional connection is broken. Yes, the notes, rhythms and timbres remain, but the subtleties that make music truly involving are lost.

Non-organic food is grown using chemicals made in factories (and farm animals eat food grown from chemicals). Organic food is grown in manure (odd that the promoters of organic farming usually fail to make that clear).

Non-organic music does often start with good DNA (to continue the analogy), but then it goes through the machine process and is liberally treated with pesticides (quantization) before being packaged and sold to the public.

Organic music may have a few rough edges (like spotty organic apples), but the flavor and nutritional value is retained, a'Net at Rest'nd is simply more satisfying to consume.

In organic farming, there is no rule that says machines can't be used, so machines can be used in music too. Just as long as they add goodness to the music, not take it away.

Organic paintings and sculptures are perhaps the most pure illustrations of artistic skill. No machines to manipulate the work...only human hands with guidance from the mind and soul.
