Music as a Motive


Its quite fascinating how music influences the mind. Recently i, for a change, have not been stuck in one type of music groove for a long period of time. I am usually the person who will listen to an artist or genre until i kill it. But recently I've been switching around quite a bit. I've been into, lately, techno, ska/reggae, and powerful classics deriving from the piano.

I really enjoy the techno when i'm either driving or with the right group of people. Its nerdy i know but its a fun music that just gets you all energetic. Granted some of the songs are cheesy but hey if they have a good beat why not.
Ska/reggae is also another one i like to listen to with friends, driving, or at home doing chores. This is music thats fun to dance to and also get me hyped up. I also enjoy the bluntness of most of the songs. They tell a story about something in life or an emotion we feel. It puts a brighter outlook on the dim.

Finally, the newest addition is this powerful classics via the piano addiction. Music similar to Debussy, and Chopin, and Beethoven. Just powerful emotional classics that move and sway the brain. Contracting thoughts only from deep within the cortex of your brain. It make me feel classy and inelegance with out the lack of either. One that comes to mind is Michael Montes who composed the short pieces called journey for a cannon commercial. Very powerful just wish it was a bit longer.

I love music, the emotions it makes you feel and how it controls you on the most sub conscience level. It can be an evil or a good all depending on the person and what their listen to. So why not listen to happy music, and broaden you spectrum of listening. Who knows you may find something new you like.
