A Music Experiment

 --

The bland, the bustle and the boring hold our society in a prison of ample dread. We wander about with some point of interest but find ourselves only waiting for the end: the dues ex machine. What if we could find a way to entertain our dull periods? Well, many have with certain items: food, games, books and the like.

I was on the metro filled with a transparent emotion. The simple monotony of waiting bears down hard. The visual images, the people swaying forth and the flashing lights all form an image deep in the mind. This image perpetually forms an associated emotion drugging-up each and every time the action is commenced. The emotion, most importantly, is linked to a space. Architecture completes this feeling.

So I decided to experiment with a certain rigor.  A movie is but limited without its soundtrack. The music produces powerful emotional connections which stimulate endorphins that flow throughout our brain. The idea of producing a new emotional association to the common day life sounds exciting with music. While this is blatantly obvious and done often, it is indeed exciting to develop.

I presented a deep-heartened soundtrack from Hans Zimmer to the entrance of the metro. The gaping chasm filled my periphery. The solemn sound produces a gloom cohesively with the rainy atmosphere. The song changed to that of movement and blundering objects. The people in the metro-train moved with the piece. The emotion suddenly became that of adventuring excitement. I looked around and watched people as they entered. They became main characters to the plot. They started fulfilling the dream. The experiment was certainly successful. It produced a new emotion to a dull atmosphere. The space was experienced in a new way.
