Robert P. Taylor's Musicians:: Reflections of Music Making
Through candid sketches of the participants, Musicians presents a reflective record of the quintissentially representative activities of making music - rehearsing, waiting to perform, and actually performing. As suggested on the Main Page, the site was created for several different reasons. The most important of these are, of course, touched upon here and there throughout the many pages of the site. The purpose of this page is to provide a center to which the interested visitor may return at will to explore these reasons in more depth than those scattered comments can provide. As such, this rationale page is a hub for five detailed pages which together elaborate these reasons in some depth. Access to each of the five is provided below through the following links.The first link, Musicians: subjects of visual art for millenia, argues that musicians have always been subjects of visual art and suggests why. This page was included to show that Musicians is part of a very ancient artistic tradition. The next two links, Encounters and events as life defining and Images as records of encounters and events are closely related parts of the basic presupposition that underlies this and other Taylor websites. It is that unplanned, spontaneous encounters with other humans are every bit as life-defining as carefully planned and executed formal events around which the encounters may occur. The fourth and fifth links, Simultaneous concurrent exhibition of digital images and Simultaneous concurrent exhibition in Musicians are closely related presentations of a basic digital technology innovation that underlies this and other Taylor sketch-based websites, the ability to virtually display the same image in two or more quite separate exhibits concurrently.
For convenience, the link Other analogous Taylor webberies is also included below, since some of the sites it provides access to illustrate one or more of the above arguments in a different web context .
