How important is emotion for you when listening to a track?
Music really intensifies my emotions, especially if I pick the correct accompanying tracks. Is this normal? Or am I thinking into it too much? Many times I find myself intensely concentrating on every piece of the music instead of just relaxing and enjoying.
I listened to some ambient drone a while ago and I felt fine before I listened to it, but once I heard it, I began to have very depressing and sad thoughts and wanted to cry.
When I listened to the song 'chrome country' by oneohtrix point never, I initially thought it was weird because of the off-key altered choir voices at times, and how the organ at the end is mixed quite loudly, but after a few more listens I realized the track was telling a story and every feeling I felt while listening was part of me experiencing the full range of emotion of the track. The discomfort, the comfort, the happiness, the depression, and the ecstasy. That range of emotion gave me an experience of fullness and completeness.
When I make tracks, I used to have an idea in mind but always ended up deviating intensely. I would almost always end up with something sad or melancholy and then realized that's probably 'my sound'. I'm thinking about starting to just make tracks that have their creation dictated by my emotions, and learning how to possibly make my own synths so I can really obtain the sound and feeling I want.
I want people to listen to the track and feel the absolute heartache or soul-crushing pain/agony/loneliness that I felt when making it. I want them to feel compelled to cry, laugh, or close their eyes and imagining their dream world where everything pure and good has reached its successful climax and extends for all eternity.
I want to use music to make other people feel what I feel so it isn't just a strictly private personal experience, but a collective, interpersonal relationship.
How does this make you feel? Do you feel with your ears as well?
