Voorbij muziek: een universele vorm

Jeff Mills is weer bezig aan een ronde interviews. Nu moet ik eerlijk bekennen dat Mills af en toe niet te volgen is, maar tegelijkertijd is hij altijd goed voor een aantal intrigerende ideeën, zoals:

Can you see a point when music will die out as a form of entertainment?
Jeff Mills: Yes. Clearly actually. I think that in the future, all art forms will merge into one single "thing". In that universal form will be all the devices that will entice and affect our senses in the way we wish to be enlightened. "Music" is the device in which we use to feel and learn about someone else, some other place, a different perspective on a known subject, but as a musician I realize that the process doesn't work very well.
Too much important information gets missed in translations. Either from what the artist thinks to what he does on the instrument or when the audience hears it when the artist or DJ plays it. People aren't getting the most they can get out of music. In time, someone will create something which will allow complete thoughts to complete actions to 100% comprehension without any loss in the translation. It won't be called music.
