What could be the title for this post???

I was watching a video on TED.com on rethinking music videos which set me thinking…Jakob presents one of his creations, moonlight glory. Take a look at it. What do you think?

I thought I should take a closer look at ‘expression of music’ in my head. I closed my eyes (that seems to be the first step for me!!). Music started.. I am still in my room.. I am mentally very aware of where I sit and what is around. Then it slowly fades… I am listening to music intently… I love guitar.. beats are good.. very pleasant tune.. I am smiling. Ok…. Now I am at this resort I went to 2 years back.. at the Singara foot hills. It’s a star studded night sky. There is this strong wet wood’s smell in the air. I am sitting by bonfire in a recliner.. gazing stars… I feel so relaxed… Music stops. I take a little while to come back to my room mentally.

What happened? Music had this inherent mood. The moment I connect with it, I associate a visual impression that I vividly remember and which identifies with the mood. This is what happened with this music piece.. But there were times when I visualize places that I have never been to or even at times, don’t visualize anything but a few abstracts.

Then I close my eyes again. I go back to the same resort.. star studded sky… which is this music going on in the background? It is the music piece which listened to when I was actually there..not the one I listened to a few minutes back.

In a way this was not an unexpected outcome for me. I am more of a visual impession person than an audio impression one! The reverse synthesis of music doesn’t work for me! Are these two processes interconnected necessarily? Hmmnn…I remember sitting in my garden back home and I just had music notes in my head… no visual impressions..music emerged like a fountain from somewhere unknown Well, I used to compose music… a few years back.

I am a little surprised at how my brain works knowing how much I like music , drawing, painting or visuals in any form! Or am I taking wrong parameters into consideration? Hee hee…

Cheers to the colorful musical world that we share!
