EP(Extended Play)

Deryck Cooke has described music as a “language of the emotions,” and has demonstrated how certain tonal patterns have become conventionally associated with particular basic emotions. The idea that an aesthetic response to music can be defined as a match between the emotions of a composer and those of the listener is widely accepted. However, people do in fact feel different emotions when listening to the same music, while a single listener may feel different emotions when listening to the same music at different times as well as being in different environments. I suggest, therefore, that musical emotions which do not lead to physical action are best considered as “as if” emotions. I wanted to create the work that I could now visualize in my head that actually related to my initial concept of music aesthetic. Focusing primarily on how music itself not only moves forward with us but also leaves a lasting image in time regarding genres and era’s that affects various aspects in our lives. Being mesmerised by sound and scenery is one of the most satisfying aspects of life as it holds a very important place in memories that in a sense shape our own perception of beauty and sounds of the past.
