Intuition Vs Logic as a "Beat Juggler"

#TurntableTuesdays

I taught Shilpa her first #offset "Beat Juggle" pattern today. There are a plethora of ways a DJ can initiate an #offset and what you see/hear in this video is just one of those approaches. More importantly tho, the beauty in today's #WeTalkinBoutPractice session with Shilpa is you get to experience her experience her intuition.

We all are born with 2 systems that operate our bodies. The brain and instincts. The brain is analytical. It processes every bit of information it receives and as a result, works ridiculously slow. Your brain works on a conscious level. Intuition is subconscious. It takes a split second for your instincts to make a decision, and every choice your instincts make is instant and effortless.

Shilpa, like many of you reading these words has grown accustomed to DJing digitally. As a result, bad habits like looking at her laptop to confirm her timing or engaging her mixer's cue pads to reset herself hindered her development more than it helped. But today, Shilpa discovered the awesome ability of her intuition.

The 9:13 mark of this video drives my point home. With a little bit of coaching, Shilpa finally shed herself from relying on a computer as her sonic guide or cue pads for short cuts, and delegated the responsibility for navigating her way through the music she was manipulating to her own natural senses. The part of her that existed before she ever laid eyes on the type of DJ technology that exists today. The part of her that's been her true guide since she was born.
