Have you ever considered the first humans in there tribal settings, developing basic rythyms and melodies that would tell stories? Im sure to many younger musicians such as myself, we take music for granted and grab what we can, because we know we want it, but cant say yet why. Especially with all these great tools, nowadays
I have been listening to music all my life, but never in a deep analytical fashion, especially where im asking myself "why is it that we use a type of sound in the same sense that we use a set of rich vibrant words in a poem"
Its probaly because sounds, really speak for them self and if its played with human emotion then it creates that stirring effect that we want. Ever wonder why your beautiful synthetic composition with no singing never got famous? Maybe it has to do with that deeper level of communication on how it was created and how it needed that extra touch to make others relate to.
Anyhow, im rambling on that i have just found that each sound has its own story. It has its own story on how it was created and why it was created to sound like it is. not all music needs musical sounds! this is very much true! look at pink floyds stuff for example, they used alot of effects and synths to create ravishing soundscapes that would put you right In there story.
My point is that All humans love stories, because we can relate to them, and many have lessons in them we can learn from. Some music out now sounds great, but the story driving it is so basic. Its as if music is slowly being overrun by catchy modern beats with no feeling.
I hope i made some sense, im not working on very much sleep lately thanks to some awesome freeware vstis lol
