February 11th, 2010

Today I learned:
1. The body and the mind are not necessarily connected, and this can be manipulated to create certain kinds of emotions in the listener/viewer.---correction, the body and mind are absolutely connected according to increased research. It is an urban myth that the mind and body are not connected based on the idea that it is better or at least easier to think rather than feel.
2. Music is created through the use of beat, harmony, and melody. Anything that is missing one of these elements is not music, though it might seem like music, or evoke similar emotions as music. Sound in general (not just music) can influence how we feel and understand things.
3. There are multiple components that need to be considered while creating a sound piece. These include: rhythm, contrast, timbre, amplitude, simultaneity, alikeness vs, difference, constancy vs. variation, and/or attack and decay. Varying and considering all of these can result in pretty much any environment or emotion the creator wants.
