Wesen

Final chapter on the trilogy about Funk music and German existentialist philosophy after “The Ear Cannot Be Filled With Hearing” (2017, Silent Water) and “Reflection Is Circular” (2019, Silent Water)
Imagined (?) dreams of being chased, false awakenings, etc. analyzed through a lens of the gestaltpsychologic understanding. Perceptions containing qualities that do not result from the arrangement of simple sensory qualities. An example of Gestalt-qualität, as Christian von Ehrenfels writes, is a melody that may consist of individual tones, but is much more than just the sum of these tones. Individual tones could combine to form completely different melodies, but the melody remains the same even if it is shifted to a different key and therefore contains different individual tones…the Gestalt laws are, however, nearly universally applicable
