In continuation of Debut,
The new born concept of hearless music is yet to be fully understand with anyone,
Even by the creator itself,
It is not a variation on 4'33 by John Cage,
That piece is written to witness the silence in music,
I liked it,
But the hearless music IS actually played with sound,
The crowd is the non-listener,
They are doing their own little things,
Like listening to their own music,
Or watching the road while driving,
That is a good thing to do,
I support that,
And it will not be my intention to move their attention away from it,
As was the case with the trainconductors,
No,

At the place where cars and people meet,
I stood on a bridge that is in use for walking and cycling people,
From there I played to the traffic below me at rush hour,
I was not playing really good and I forgot most of the songs I know,
The drivers with steering wheels did not care,
They liked it,
I recieved applause, waving, thumbs up, WTF faces, bright lights, hootering and ignoring faces
I liked it,
So apparently even though when nobody can really hear you people still appreciate music,
Or they just get a good laugh from some crazy dude who's playing for cars and trains.

Debut

Apparently I have something to say,
For now no one will care,
Perhaps it will change,
I would like that,,,
Now I shall start with my sayings about tellings;

Yesterday on the 6th of may I caused several traindelays,
It was not intentionaly and it was the opposite of what I was trying to reach,,,
I went to this temporary station at the beach which is only in use in the summer,
There I played music for the people who where in a rush,
They had no time to listen,
But if they looked out of the windows they could see me playing my guitar,
Which was the reason I played on that spot; music is more than the sound it makes,
I proofed it on that day cause people knew I was performing music,
They have seen it,
If I was in the likings of my fast crowd I may never know cause they never heard me,
But I have catched a few smiles,
After a couple fast trains the following ones weren't fast at all,
Some even stopped,
Did they want to make time to listen to the (untill now) unhearable music?
No,,,
Although I would've been honored if they did,
The driver with no steering wheel stopped to tell me the following;
"are you suicidal? If we think someone is trying to jump we aren't allowed to go fast,,,"
I was shocked! Trains that are not allowed to go fast?!?
Because I stood still on a platform in the middle of somewhere with no people around me?
I was just playing some nice tunes for the trains and the people in it,
Not to kill myself,,,
I shook the conductor his hand and told him I ment no harm at all,
Apparently something that was ment as a nice and happy gesture for people with haste turned out to be interpreted as an attempt to suicide,,,
Today I'm going to try a different way to play music for people that have no time,
See if drivers with steering wheels are accepting my invetation for hearless music.
