about

archaism | ärkē-iz-m, ärkā-iz-m |
noun
• a thing that is very old or old-fashioned.
• an archaic word or style of language or art.
• the use or conscious imitation of very old or old-fashioned styles or features in language or art.

i’ve often wondered if music was likely our first language as humans. from the earliest times, i feel that music has been our attempt to mimic and honor our surroundings, and music has also been our means of organizing, communicating and understanding our personal and collective history, experiences, feelings, emotions and memories. long before we devised a system of thought that became a verbal and written language, we likely used forms of "music" to comprehend and connect with ourselves, each other, our world and worlds beyond. in some ways, i feel that sound/music, especially when heart-derived, is the most elegant, sophisticated and effective form of communication we possess.
