Recently bought a bunch of courses on music theory...why? Cause I bought cubase and figured I needed to understand how to make things sound good together. Plus I've always loved music and it seemed like a mystery in my knowledge. Now spent more time learning music theory than in the program. It's a fun process. Just hope the fun doesn't run out...though been awhile in the making so to say, so maybe 'this' one will stay. heh.

Di Vinci also spent numerous years studying arcana and ''accomplishing'' nothing, he died with the Mona Lisa and John The Baptist paintings at the foot of his bed. From analysis we knew he spend decades painting them, there's no element of them that appears to me unintended, and he accomplished an optical illusion only understood very recently, in painting in tone alone shows her smiling, the color shows her flat faced. He captured a sense of a smile that's only about to happen, because he managed to understand that grey scale and color are processed differently in the mind. He figured out so many strange little things that he incorporates into his work, but he also started 100s of projects he lost interest in, and it's not clear if he even considered his finished work complete, it's arguable according to people far more educated than me.
