Music as Immersion

I was pondering this week what an immersive text was, and if I have ever been truly immersed. That is to say has mind and body ever completely engaged in the virtual realm to which is spoken. As I addressed the issue within the framework of the class’ blackboard discussion this morning, I only addressed the textual world of books and movies, to which my reply is no. This afternoon I was reminiscing over the wedding I attended this weekend, and remembered music. This is what I am writing about this week; however, not just music as a textual world, but karaoke, or karaoke under the influence.
