I believe I can, having not conferred with others on this, I can't guarantee that I'm getting the inferring the right emotion from the music, but I believe that I can. |
I was asking if you felt
any emotion was implied by music, not necessarily a "right" emotion, because any art form is suggestive. You're talking about the intended emotion. I almost believed based on your post that you didn't even see music as a volume of expression.

The prime example I would give here, is the Jaws soundtrack, on it's own it doesn't illicit thoughts of sharks, but it does build suspense, when combined with the imagery it makes for a more suspenseful scene than the images alone or the music alone.

I can confidently say from this that you're clearly not completely numb to music even if you think you are. You let it effect you when you watch these movies, why can't it effect you anywhere else? Don't get me wrong, music and image
can combine to create something greater than either one alone, and if you're simply not a music person as much as you are some other type of artist that's cool with me. I'm just saying that you might have a sour attitude toward it that might not really be helping you. I find myself using music as backing noise sometimes, too, usually when I search the web. I'm not exactly proud of it, as I feel like as someone who will probably end up a musician myself I should give it more respect, but I still find myself doing it occasionally. There are other times where I can really pay attention to the same music, let it throw through me, and wonder how I ever could've ignored it and had it as background noise. Attitude effects everything.
