Okay. I admit it. What I'm really trying to do is discover a more efficient, accurate means of communication. I believe that the most effective mode of expression, aurally speaking (no pun intended), is a blend of what we term 'language' and what we consider 'music.' I can't figure out how to express it accurately yet, but I've been working on this, subconsciously, for years I think.

It has something to do with the way that music can tap into emotions that words completely miss. (e.g. I can tell you about love, I can describe to you the feelings of love, I can relate stories of when I experienced or showed love, but this doesn't bring you closer to feeling/experiencing love yourself. However, I can play you a piece of music, genre undecided, that taps into some emotional realm within you and you begin to cry and say, "Aha! That's what love feels like.")

In short, music IS a language that communicates on a more primary level things that we cannot efficiently express in words. This is not a new concept.

What interests me is the fusion of 'music' and 'language;' the perfection of a communication that would comprise more directly the elements of both. The causes of misunderstanding are communication problems--misused words, misunderstood phrases, outright lies even, a lack of ability to wield the weapon we lovingly refer to as spoken language.

What would the elements of this language be? What does human language need to bring it to this next level of usage?

More on this later...
