There is a popular Ch’an koan which asks: “if a tree falls in the woods, and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?” The answer is no. What we call sound is only a disturbance in the atmosphere until it reaches something that can “hear” it, and a mind that can interpret it as a noise. A manmade mechanism left in the forest can detect the level of air disturbance, but it is not a sound until a mind defines the reading or recording as such.

One winter night, one of the few Japanese friends I had in my early 20s was playing a guitar at his company Christmas party.
He was an architect and was about 10 years older than I was. Before he decided to study architecture, he was making a living as a guitarist in Japan.
