New post on the blog, wherein I try to describe how the most enjoyable part of being a musician may not necessarily be about the music.

@petergarner Peter, thank you for your nice text and for giving me this new concept of "kinaesthetic pleasure". I could not agree more.

@kcposch Glad you enjoyed.
I can imagine that riding a bicycle could fall into this category too, right? -
@petergarner For me, bicycling and making music complement each other. Both provide a tremendous amount of joy and satisfaction.
@kcposch Nice Tele! So we have both guitars and Brompton in common.

@petergarner @kcposch I very much enjoyed reading this, even though I don't own a Brompton or a guitar! It's timely, too – I've been thinking a lot lately about what I now know is called kinaesthetic pleasure in the context of cycling (and also writing a little bit about it here: https://www.mattpedals.bike/riding-danishly/?gift=UychxKO4ceRaUheguNW8zLiltmnf31cQ). Fascinating to get a musical perspective

@petergarner When I get on my bicycle, I get happy in no time. It's the pleasure of body movement, the air on my skin, and the decent speed of the change of the surrounding scene.
When I play the guitar, my brain translates thoughts into finger movements and thus into sounds. If my brain is sufficiently ahead of what's happening in terms of resulting sound waves returning, it enjoys the finger's movements, the touch sensation, together with resulting sounds.
Both create a pleasant feeling.

@mattpedals @petergarner Very nice text. I can relate very much to what you describe. Thank you.

@mattpedals @kcposch Thanks for this. A beautiful text. So many parallels between riding a bike and playing an instrument. (A musician is both person and instrument, for instance). Much food for reflection here.
