Japanese Music Theory VII: Time and Space, Ma

#musictheory #ma #japan

Continuing on with our Music Theory Series, Shomyo to Shakuhachi, we do the next crucial element of Japanese music, Time and Space.
In the realm of art, culture, and everyday life, time holds a unique position as a universal constant, shaping the way we perceive and experience the world around us. Yet, in Japan, time takes on an added dimension, one intricately woven into the very fabric of being. This additional layer is encapsulated by the term "Ma," a concept that not only defines but elevates the Japanese perspective on time to a level of profound significance and for many, confusion. Today, let’s clarify and define Ma in a semi scholastic way to help develop a greater understanding and appreciation of Japanese art and music as a whole.
