Sounds that come from our own thoughts create pleasure, pain, excitement, etc.
Music is our tools. We create our world, we create our soundscape, we create our environment. Music creates our environments and we are free to create our world within. We do not need to know how to do this. We just need to know how to create a wonderful environment for others to experience and to learn from. Music helps us discover ourselves and our emotions in new ways.
Music is our means. The musical way allows you to be yourself and to experience and create a more positive and joyful world.
How could humans have created music?
We cannot know that music existed without first having knowledge of how sound could be created, how our hearing and our brain combine to process sounds. All of this was created when humans came together in small groups to form bands.
Music can be played in many ways. Many of these are simple sounds you can hear in a song today. It's also the sounds of one person playing music on guitar which will never get old. This is the kind of music which is most easily recognized and recognized by other people. We have learned and taught these sounds to the average listener of pop music, classical music or even rap music.
This is why so many bands change from one style to another over time. With each new generation a band may adopt a new sound that better matches their style with the evolving culture that they may be a part of.
Music is the most powerful tool that can be used to heal the world's people and the planet. It can change the people in your audience into something new, something more compassionate, something more compassionate than they were when they left the concert hall and entered the world.
The most important skill you can have as a performer/songwriter is that of the performer. There are so many styles from all musical genres and styles that we could write a book on the subject and each of them are unique in their own way. The difference between a modern pop song and a great classic is just as obvious and has more to do with the genre and it's influences then any one individual.
But here in my blog we believe that what we are doing is a way of life. We believe that what we're doing isn't just something that people are hearing on the radio, or it's a commercial for some kind of product, or it's some kind of trick. No, music and songwriting is a way of life that we enjoy every day. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to live in this way that involves singing, storytelling and producing our own music.
Hear Hear... And added to what you write about in your post, many styles many of us don't know about, or never realise they exist. What about the music of long long times ago? The tribal music of the Africans? The street drum ensembles? The birds singing in our garden. parks or woods? Music is all around us, and we do not necessarily need a HiFi system or a streaming subscription to hear it :)
Africa is great, that's where the rhythms we've enjoyed so far originated.
You are right, you have the vision.
Thanks 😉
