<p><span style="font-size: 130%;">Dessverre er det s&aring;nn at jeg glemmer det meste jeg tenker p&aring; &aring; skrive om n&aring;r jeg ikke er i n&aelig;rheten av Macen, men kommer p&aring; en ting fra spinnigtimen min g&aring;r som m&aring; skrives ned...</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jeg hadde helt ny spilleliste, med bla. Darkside med Nicolas Jaar. Den er lang, nesten 7 minutter, og jeg improviserer bare hva vi gj&oslash;r p&aring; sykkelen underveis. Det blir faktisk meditativt og jeg kommer nesten i en mild transe underveis. Musikken er bare helt fantastisk og plutselig fikk jeg den "sterkeste" g&aring;sehuden jeg noengang har f&oslash;lt. Alle har reiste seg fra leggene opp til nakkeh&aring;rene mine. Det var sikkert 35 grader varmt i rommet oig svetten rant av meg som den aldri har gjort, men det som var det kule da, med denne g&aring;sehuden var et jeg kjente at jeg ble kj&oslash;lt ned p&aring; hele kroppen. Rett og slette en sterk opplevelse og f&oslash;le &aring;ssen kroppen min jobber for &aring; ta vare p&aring; seg selv. Jeg ble alts&aring; nesten kald p&aring; armene n&aring;r jeg fikk denne g&aring;sehuden. Det var heftig....</p>
<p>Jeg har alltid trodd/h&oslash;rt at g&aring;sehud f&aring;r man mest n&aring;r man fryser og selvsagt n&aring;r man f&aring;r gode/sterke opplevelser p&aring; det mentale plan. N&aring;r man fryser s&aring; reiser h&aring;rene seg for &aring; isolere (luft isolerer jo), men det stemmer ikke helt med min opplevelse i g&aring;r. Jeg s&oslash;kte opp goosebumps p&aring; Wolfram:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Goose bumps</strong>, also called&nbsp;<strong>goose flesh</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>goose pimples</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>still bumps</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>chicken skin</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Dasler Bumps</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>chicken bumps</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>people humps</strong>, or the medical term&nbsp;<em><strong>kutis ansterina</strong></em>, are the bumps on a person's&nbsp;<a title="Skin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin">skin</a>&nbsp;at the base of body&nbsp;<a title="Hair" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair">hairs</a>&nbsp;which may involuntarily develop when a person is&nbsp;<a title="Cold" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold">cold</a>&nbsp;or experiences strong emotions such as&nbsp;<a title="Fear" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear">fear</a>,&nbsp;<a title="Nostalgia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia">nostalgia</a>,&nbsp;<a title="Pleasure" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasure">pleasure</a>,&nbsp;<a title="Awe" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awe">awe</a>, admiration and sexual arousal.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose_bumps#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup></p>
<p>The&nbsp;<a title="Reflex" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflex">reflex</a>&nbsp;of producing goose bumps is known as&nbsp;<strong>horripilation</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>piloerection</strong>, or the&nbsp;<strong>pilomotor reflex</strong>. It occurs in many&nbsp;<a title="Mammal" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal">mammals</a>&nbsp;besides humans; a prominent example is&nbsp;<a title="Porcupine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcupine">porcupines</a>, which raise their quills when threatened, or&nbsp;<a title="Sea otter" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_otter">sea otters</a>&nbsp;when they encounter sharks or other predators.</p>
<p>Other creatures get goose bumps for the same reason, for example this is why a&nbsp;<a title="Cat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat">cat</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a title="Dog" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog">dog</a>&rsquo;s hair stands on end and the cause behind a&nbsp;<a title="Porcupine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcupine">porcupine</a>&rsquo;s quills raising. In cold situations, the rising hair traps air between the hairs and skin, creating insulation and warmth. In response to fear, goose bumps make an animal appear larger &ndash; hopefully scaring away the enemy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Goosebumps can be experienced in the presence of&nbsp;<a title="Cold" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold">cold</a>&nbsp;temperatures. The stimulus of cold surroundings causes the tiny muscles attached to each&nbsp;<a title="Hair follicle" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle">hair follicle</a>&nbsp;to contract. This contraction causes the hair strands to literally "stand on end." At the same time, the tiny muscles that are contracting are causing a "bunching" of the skin surrounding the hairs, which results in the "bumps" in goosebumps.</p>
<p>This is the body's way of preserving its own heat by causing the hairs on the skin to stand up, thus reducing heat loss. Goosebumps are often seen in conjunction with&nbsp;<a title="Shivering" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivering">shivering</a>&nbsp;in these instances.</p>
<p>People also get goosebumps when they are hot, or in the presence of extreme heat. The main reason for this is&nbsp;<a class="mw-redirect" title="Sweat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat">sweat</a>. As the&nbsp;<a title="Perspiration" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspiration">perspiration</a>&nbsp;accumulates on the skin, it naturally&nbsp;<a class="mw-redirect" title="Evaporate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporate">evaporates</a>. As the sweat evaporates, it cools down the skin surface. As this process occurs, a dramatic temperature difference occurs and the body responds to the "chill" of the evaporation of the sweat and the "goosebump response" kicks in.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 80%;">Intense emotion</span></h3>
<p>People often say they feel their "hair standing on end" when they are frightened or in awe. Another intense emotional situation that can cause goosebumps is the "<a title="Fight-or-flight response" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response">fight or flight</a>" response the body can employ in an extremely&nbsp;<a title="Stress (biology)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)">stressful</a>&nbsp;situation. As the body prepares itself for either fighting or running, the&nbsp;<a title="Sympathetic nervous system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system">sympathetic nervous system</a>&nbsp;floods the blood with&nbsp;<a class="mw-redirect" title="Adrenaline" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline">adrenaline</a>&nbsp;(epinephrine), a hormone that speeds up&nbsp;<a title="Heart rate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate">heart rate</a>,&nbsp;<a title="Metabolism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolism">metabolism</a>, and body temperature in the presence of extreme stress. The sympathetic nervous system also causes a reflex called piloerection, which makes the muscles attached to the base of each hair follicle contract and force the hair up. Goose bumps cause the hairs to stand up, just as&nbsp;<a title="Porcupine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcupine">porcupines</a>&nbsp;raise their&nbsp;<a title="Quill" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quill">quills</a>&nbsp;when threatened. When piloerection occurred in man's ancestors, their plentiful hair made them appear larger to enemies and helped keep them warm. Although man is no longer as hairy, the reflex remains.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose_bumps#cite_note-10">[11]</a></sup></p>
<h3><span id="Music" class="mw-headline" style="font-size: 80%;">Music</span></h3>
<p>Canadian researchers have suggested that when we are moved by music our brains behave as if reacting to delicious&nbsp;<a title="Food" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food">food</a>, psychoactive&nbsp;<a class="mw-redirect" title="Drugs" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drugs">drugs</a>, or&nbsp;<a title="Money" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money">money</a>. According to Caribbean Sociologist, Corey Alexander Lane, "The reaction from music is based on the memory induced emotion that some songs create." In the practice of music production this phenomenon has long been used to judge the quality and impact of a performance, particularly in recording studios during the playback process. The engineers and producers</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>would say "You knew something was good if it gave you goose bumps." They would actually roll up their sleeves and visually check their arms.</p>
<p>The pleasure experience is driven by the chemical&nbsp;<a title="Dopamine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine">dopamine</a>, which has been linked to&nbsp;<a title="Addiction" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction">addiction</a>. It produces physical effects known as "chills" that cause changes in the skin's electrical conductance, heart rate,&nbsp;<a title="Breathing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing">breathing</a>&nbsp;and temperature. The responses correlate with the degree to which people rate the "pleasurability" of music.</p>
<p>The new research has shown that dopamine release was greatest when listeners had a strong emotional response to music. "If music-induced emotional states can lead to dopamine release, as our findings indicate, it may begin to explain why musical experiences are so valued,&rdquo; wrote the&nbsp;<a title="Scientist" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientist">scientists</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose_bumps#cite_note-11">[12]</a></sup></p>

<p>Grunnen var at n&aring;r jeg skrudde p&aring; radioen og skulle skru fra P3 (som Myriam alltid h&oslash;rer p&aring;) til P2 (som jeg alltid h&oslash;rer p&aring; - husk jeg er f&oslash;rtito n&aring;) s&aring; var det s&aring; mange signaler i lufta at ingen norske kanaler kom inn ordentlig.I det deilige v&aelig;ret med h&oslash;yttrykk over Skagerak kommer nemlig alle de danske og flere svenske kanaler inn over eteren, og de er gjerne lettere &aring; stille inn da enn de norske. Skj&oslash;nner ikke helt forklaringen p&aring; dette fenomenet, men det er heller ikke poenget...</p>
<p>&nbsp;Uansett, jeg endte opp med &aring; h&oslash;re p&aring; DR (Dansk Radio), nyheter, musikk og prat helt normalt&nbsp;</p>

<p>Her er de to f&oslash;rste postene ;&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Etter halvannet &aring;rs samliv med ny samboer og kj&aelig;reste har jeg begynt &aring; lese b&oslash;ker igjen. F&oslash;rst leste jeg ferdig biografien om Steve Jobs, s&aring; Ketil Bj&oslash;rnstads De ud&oslash;delig, og n&aring; er jeg endelig i gang med Min kamp 6. Har v&aelig;rt hjemme fra jobb i dag, med feber som kommer og g&aring;r, kaldsvette og en utrolig s&aring;r hals. Da har jeg hatt tid til &aring; sitte helt stille og lese meg godt inn i Knausg&aring;rd (fra n&aring; av bare kalt K). Det var s&aring; godt &aring; endelig komme litt inn i romanen. Ikke s&aring; mye p&aring; en analytisk eller kritisk m&aring;te, men som i &aring; ha tid til &aring; lese mange nok sider p&aring; en gang uten &aring; bli avbrutt av noen eller noe. Komme litt inn i historien uten &aring; brette esel&oslash;re for hver tredje side.</p>
<p>Sist jeg leste K, stoppet det opp i halvveis i bind 3. Ikke fordi jeg ikke orket mer eller ville mer, men fordi jeg fikk s&aring; lyst til &aring; lese Bj&oslash;rnstad igjen.<em>Damen i dalen</em>, siste bind i trilogien om Aksel Vinding. Bj&oslash;rnstad er den forfatteren jeg vender tilbake til hele tiden. Har ikke noen dypere forklaring p&aring; hva det er som tiltaler meg s&aring;nni litteraturen hans, men noe er det jo. Kanskje milj&oslash;skildringene ? Eller det evinnelig problematiske i forholdet mellom mann og kvinne og mellom barn og foreldre? Dette m&aring; jeg pr&oslash;ve &aring; finne ut av. Det er mye &aring; hente der tror jeg.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Det er ogs&aring; burdagen min i dag, s&aring; iPhonen renner over av gratulasjonsmeldinger fra Facebook og p&aring; SMS - det er jo hyggelig, jeg setter selvsagt pris p&aring; oppmerksomhet, men jeg lar meg s&aring; lett avbryte mens jeg pr&oslash;ver &aring; skrive dette her. F&oslash;rst logget jeg p&aring; Facebook p&aring; macen, svarte p&aring; noen meldinger, s&aring; var det innom iTunes Store og impulshandle et par album; Ketil Bj&oslash;rnstads musikk til Vinding trilogien og Terje Rypdals Singles collection...</p>
<div>
<p>Leste nettop gjennom forrige post og ser at spr&aring;ket er s&aring; til de grader fylt med klisjeer. (bare &aring; skrive "s&aring; til de grader" er jo dritkjedelig) - men jeg har rett og slett ikke l&aelig;rt meg &aring; &oslash;konomisere med spr&aring;ket n&aring;r jeg skriver dette her. Bare se ; "&nbsp;men jeg har rett og slett ikke l&aelig;rt meg &aring; &oslash;konomisere med spr&aring;ket n&aring;r jeg skriver dette her". Mister litt motet. Og n&aring; skal jeg forklare hvorfor. Fordi dette skriveprosjektet har en slags grunnid&eacute; om at det jeg kommer p&aring; skal skrives ut der og da. Frie assosiasjoner i skrift om man vil. Men n&aring;r setningene da begynner &aring; nli lange og knotne mister jeg jo av og til tankerekka og det kan stoppe helt opp. Samtidig, og dette vet jeg ikke helt sikkert egentlig, men samtidig er det vel s&aring;nn at nettopp i frie assosiasjoner skal tankene l&oslash;ep hvor de vil, uten sensur eller annen kontroll. S&aring; kanksje det &aring; skrive ut frie assosiasjoner er den slags forsinkede frie assosiasjoner?</p>
<p>Igjen faller jeg ut. Macen er fylt av distraksjoner; Twitter, internett med sitt uendelig innhold, facebook som jeg av en aller annen idiotisk grunn lot t&aring; aktivt i menylinjen, iTunes med all min kresent utvalgte musikk (akkurat n&aring; er det Terje Rypdals Mystery Man som i all sin vakkerhet forstyrrer meg...&nbsp;</p>
<p>Siden vil for det meste v&aelig;re &aring;pen men jeg tror jeg vil passordbeskytte den etterhvert. Kommer an p&aring; hvor privat det blir...</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;Essentially what conducting is about is getting the players to play their best and to be able to use their energy and to access their point of view about the music. There is a connection between the gesture, the physical presence, the aura that a conductor can project, and what the musicians produce.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>En utfyllende forklaring fra den klassisk skolerte musikeren Chris Brody&nbsp;:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">You're absolutely right that one of the main things an orchestra conductor does is to prepare the orchestra in rehearsal for the way he/she wants the piece to sound in performance. A lot of stuff is conveyed in that way that the conductor then won't need to attempt to convey in real time during the performance. And furthermore, as you suspect, conductors are often in some sense kind of "dancing" for the audience during performances, in ways that are strictly superfluous to making the musicians play correctly, though sometimes an enjoyable part of the concert experience.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">In order for a concert performance to come off correctly, someone has to take responsibility for giving what musicians call "cues"-concrete gestures that enable everyone to know when to start playing. In chamber music (classical music played in small groups), one of the players will do this, usually with an exaggerated, rhythmically timed gesture that connotes "taking a breath to start playing right NOW" or "preparing my bow to play the string right NOW", and so on. In fact, there are entire smallish orchestras, like the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90Gq9mYTV44">Orpheus Chamber Orchestra</a>, that play with no conductor, because members of the ensemble give cues when they are needed.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">In larger (orchestral) settings, it is convenient to have a conductor to give cues instead. Of course, there are some pieces that are played with metronomic strictness, and the conductor in fact will have fairly little to do during those performances. You might have noticed that pieces from the Baroque and Classical periods are usually quite strict in time, and it is no coincidence that there was no such thing as a professional conductor until the nineteenth century-music prior to that was usually quite playable with the first-chair violinist ("concertmaster") or the keyboardist giving a few cues as needed. (Conductors were occasionally used prior to the nineteenth century, but not so much that it was anyone's entire job.)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">Some pieces, by contrast, have a lot of changes of tempo, or a lot of starting and stopping. In cases like that, a conductor is really an indispensable part of...</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Lest ferdig biografien om Steve Jobs, og er fremdeles imponert over hva han har gjort og hvem han var.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Sett Susanne Biers <strong>H&aelig;vnen</strong>, med<em> Michael Persbrandt</em>. Har ikke blitt s&aring; satt ut av en film siden jeg s&aring; Farvel Falkenberg for noen &aring;r siden. Det er alt for lenge mellom de gode filmopplevelsene s&aring; dette var helt fantastisk, og <em>Persbrandt</em> er uten tvil min mannlige favorittskuespiller for tiden.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Sett <strong>Blue Valentine</strong> med <em>Ryan Gossling</em> og <em>Michelle Williams</em>, ogs&aring; to skuespiller jeg liker veldig godt. Filmen var en gedigen nedtur, og jeg begynner &aring; bli lei av &aring; se Gossling som en litt nedstemt/sjarmerende/uflidd/alternativ etc. fyr i annenhver film han spiller i. Michelle Williams derimot er helt uangripelig igjen..</p>
