READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL THIS TOOK ON SOMEWHAT OF AN OP-ED/LIVEJOURNAL/RIVERRUN*
ok ok ok, imma let you own the "Gay Tension Music" as a the genre nomme de guerre but this emotion SPECIFICALLY is one of my fav's , and thus warrants further dissection by me: the joke explainer. however today i will be: the insistent upon stating out loud the things we all have previously deduced in our own minds but again, I insist, and so it must be said out loud (or digitally typed for all). Its like if you open the instruction manual to assemble complciated and step 1 is "Open the box" Yes yes yes, you understand now right? Good, lets fuckin go:
Soooooo haha! bit of a game but the above .... maaaaaaybe could be a literary version of the emotion that Gay Tension Music is so perfectly describing.
...I sense disbelief?
Ok its not, but i was hoping i could save myself a lil bit from the above. Good eye, you are indeed clever.
Ok enough around the hedges, lets get into the bramble: UN-RESOLVED THEMATIC REPITITION. Fucking love this stuff. Its like peanut butter. Its the nectar of the gods. Its EDGING me. I am wound up. Give me resolution, give me a kernal of truth. Tell me something objectively true i dont know! horn stab, thematic musical idea starts again or not? lets just stay here. i love the longing. i love the sense of "expectation" like im going to get the treat? like hallway to the door I eventually open WILL exist... it just might not be within the confines of this 6 minute musical selection.
its equivalent to when you, a wonderful intelligent artistic DJ, cuts the low end out. And the music reaches a point and the crowd starts nodding "yes, this DJ will RETURN those frequencies to the speaker outputs, and my body - the song approaches the point hwere this happens"
See me? I like to make em wait at this point. But only after i established the relationship wherein i DO provide at expected point. But later in the later night, it changes... I change. I am interested in the power dynamics established, and I want to flex that control over you. So at one point, unexpectedly, I dont bring the subs back in when most expected.
GAY TENSION MUSIC?
Ok, I'm in to it. Its not so much a musical genre as much it is an aesthetic practice. Like ascetism. Or stoicism. its an ethos.
