Late night thought,

what if we unleash the true power of music by freeing it from the constraints of language? It’s the words, the damned words, programmed to always make sense to human ears. These words inherently represent human civilization.

When you hear birds chirping, waves clashing, mermaids humming, you realize there are deeper levels of musical cognizance that far surpass what could be articulated with a limited human vocabulary.

This is why abstract art thrives – I want abstract music! Let’s do it.

Let us liberate songs from the shackles of meaning and allow them to soar.

Listen to a song spoken in a foreign language; you would still feel the emotions, proving that you don’t really need lyrics to make sense always.

Think of instrumental music with no vocals, but now replace the instruments with gibberish syllables suited for the flow. The phrases don’t have to follow grammar; verses don’t have to make sense. It would be so freeing 🕊️.

You wouldn’t believe me – this thought came to me while I was reading a research paper on chain of thoughts modeling of large language models, and it turns out language itself is holding back their performance. If an artificial brain has to liberate itself to gain true thinking prowess, it needs to think not with human comprehensible words.
True beauty, true elegance, the purest form of beings are expressed in abstractions, and it needs to be encouraged more in all kinds of disciplines.

Let’s not limit our creative thinking within boundaries of our vocabulary, express the expressionless by expressing the expressionless
