A Musicians Paradox Ty Kiernan

In A Musicians Paradox author and lifelong working musician Ty Kiernan explores the intersection of music and philosophy with a series of philosophical discussions on life, human behavior, music, faith, relationships, and the connection between musician and instrument. Being torn between two worldswith the frustration, the insecurity, and the dearth of understanding about why musicians play music, all the while loving and not being able to give up an obsession with music itselfhe focuses on the particular psyche of the musician but appeals to all who contemplate this almost inherent duality of their own existence. Music is life and life is music, and music can ultimately transmute into wisdomthat is, it can raise our consciousness to help wisdom flow within us. For the musicianand perhaps for everyonethinking about these connections and the relationship between cause and effect in general may offer us a clue into the possibility of something more in our lives.
