Psychology of Music

[lurid_moon]

Hi there!
I just wonder if there's anyone interested in psychology of music, and arts in general, I mean something like the proccess of composing and creating and the psychology of the creator.....
if anyone got any interesting topic on that, plz let me know..
Thanks in advance

As I noticed that no one's answered you, I decided to add some comments, regarding your theme. I actually don't imagine at all myself what you mean exectly, but I can actually say how the music acts on human's mind. For me I take an advantage of saying that the most psychologically full sinthez of different sounds mixed together in a chaotically seamed, but very organized system is the psychedelical music. That's really a great work of music art. Your opinion...?

thanks for reply goblin!
Actually human psychology (what about me, I do not aree using the name of a scientific discipline to human psycho beacuase logia is science not ego, anyway because of absence ogf appropriate word let's use psychology) alters from every one culture to another, from one subculture to another, but some parts stay constant.
But as we can notice music is not one of these parts, anyway the sounds and sound reception system can or should vary as well, or not???
for example, people who are fond of avandguarde music, like ex. Shnitke, or Robert Fripp what do they feel, what do they find in it? is there any psychological aspect here (I do know there is, but how should it be explained, that's what I mean)as well as in abstract and surrealistic art.....
What is the core of thinking and receipting alternatively to the standartism, ? whats your opinion??
Thanks for understanding (hope you do )

I don't think that the sound reception system vary from culture to culture, but the sounds themselves may....... Here's an example: The composer who wants to earn fame needs to deal with the common opinion about the music. Not every person can listen to Shnitke, not because his culture is differnet to Shnitke's one, but because the classical music always remains more underground than on the surface. People's mind understands the surrounding world with the help of the eyes which seize the common objects, that are familiar to man. That's cars, trees, I don't know...birds, buildings, but not as a different parts, that's the car consistes of. We are all Object Oriented, and we don't make very much efforts to understand that this object is a car. That's why the music, which "Psychology" is more likely to our thinking, that's what doesn't make us strain to get it in, is more popular, than the one that comes from another culture, e.g. Turkish (for me), or contains variable "parts" and doesn't seam an "object" at first glance. You know, actually, psychology is a very individual thing!

P.S. Are you Armenian, Where do you live? Can you tell me 'bout you? ( you may use Private Messaging if you like to ).

Thanks for an interesting topic

[lurid_moon]

Thanks for intriguing reply!
Actually I do think music reception is basicly determined by cutures, moreover, subcultures as well. In the same society many people of different "types" listen to different music,and the basic point I mean, is that that differences is basically determined by raher different system of perception, as you call it.
Anyway, I'd like to get reply to my first question from you (as I see no one oither is interested here) about composer's (creator's) psychology and it's influence on his creation.

Thanks again

Absolutely fair!!!
Agree

Мун - джан, ахрь знаю я тебя, никогда бы не подумала, что ты настолько образован и интеллектуален. В следующий раз присмотрюсь и прислушаюсь повнимательнее. Гипер, архи, сверх...Низкий покон тебе, восхищение и прочие почести ( все тебе). Да, и Гоблину тоже.


С уважением, Сакура.

Hola dear Lurid_Moon!!!
как делишки?
дас, муй интересантэ.
а как, по-твоему, почему другие люди не интересуются твоим топиком?
может попробуешь снизойти до русского и поподробнее, пояснее и поточнее открыть нам саму суть своих суждений? потому, как многие ( и я например) затратят много усилий на вникание во все вышесказанное.
а так, меня заинтриговал топик. Fin.

Lou Reed, i meant not the language, but the style. Too pompous and sophisticated.
And besides all those "thanks in advance", "thanks for reply", "thanks for an interesting topic" sound really funny

[lurid_moon]

I didn't say complicated, i said pompous and sophisticated. But even if i meant - and thus you strive to make it more complicated?

Pinhead! I don't think thank you can ever bother anyone or sound funny do you?

Bothering people is my hobby
And i sound funny only when i want to.

My pleasures, could you be so polite and tell me your second question, as you mentioned one is already given ( I don't know if you got the answer on it ). And also It would be nice to hear your own opinoin concerning this topic, and what's your psychology in creating music ( I know you do-I'm a spy, I know everything (especially for Pinhead: ALMOST EVERYTHING )) So, in addition would say to you that this kind of style of negotiating thru the AKB forum really seams funny from other side! Don't pay attention.

P.S. Pinhead, where did you get your English skills ( please try to answer maximally serious, no, no,not this much, a bit less, aha that's right. So?)

Многоуважаемый Мун, здесь речь идет о психическом состоянии музыканта во время написания муз. произведения или о чем-то более конкретном?
Не совсем поняла...сори
