Ted Talks selection # 1 - About mistakes in music

Here is a new section to begin this new year. I hope you enjoyed your new year's eve and I wish you a wonderful new year 2012 (already).

Stefon Harris: There are no mistakes on the bandstand


I think that notion of mistakes in music is quite interesting.
I love using dissonances when I play the guitar and it is true that it surprises the people who are listening to you and even you but when you seize the occasion to give your song* another ton, it can be wonderful, still surprising but wonderful for you.

If you wanna hear some examples, you can't listen to people performing Leo Brouwer compositions.

* As far as I'm concerned, it wasn't my song as long as I am not able to write a song :)
