A blank slate

Pet_Sounds · 02-06-2016, 07:11 AM

Suppose a person born deaf is healed. He/she has never heard music in any form and doesn't even have a concept of what it is--a truly blank slate. What is the first piece of music you show him/her? Do you go with something happy? Sad? Cryptic? Simple? Complex?

Might have to go with Arvo Pärt

Probably play some Grindcore.

Some WISSK, obviously.

The Rumour Said Fire - The Balcony

Igor Stravinsky - The Right of Spring.

Actually that may be a bit too intense. Maybe this as an appetizer.

*Rite, dummy. I think some blues would do if you wanted to show them something lighter that doesn't suck. Leadbelly's Where Did You Sleep Last Night? is a good contender.
