Re: [Avid-L2] Start practicing your 1/f rhythms

I think to a certain extent, yes, it is related to Murch's famous blink (except Murch's theory has more to do with how the mind switches from one idea to the next, the mental and subsequent physiological reaction).

However, this whole 1/f thing appears to be more about the internal rhythm in which we all participate simply as a natural condition of life. Esoteric? Yes. Useful at work? Probably not.

My gut feeling is that editing is a bit like music. You can teach it, practice it, maybe even get a job in it. But if you're tone deaf then no amount of education is likely to make much of a difference. Verna Fields believed passionately that editing could not be taught. She might have said that sensitivity to the 1/f rhythm is something you either intuit or don't.

Either way, should this whole 1/f thing be real, then it seems likely to be something so deeply internalized that an attempt to access it professionally would only sabotage its effectiveness.

It seems.
