After talking to Pat i researched different emotions and how we express them through music.
ReplyDeleteOn www.ezinearticles.com I found some interesting information.
Music is characterized by certain qualities like, pitch, melody, rhythm, and frequency. And each type of music is again characteristic by certain degrees of these above mentioned qualities. A rhythmic music characterizes joy while a melody expresses romance. Again, a melody also expresses sorrows. For instance, Latin music is mostly featured by rhythm and certain genre of tune. Latin music is an expression of Bohemian lifestyle which very much complements Latin culture. Variation in melodies and rhythm leads to expression of varieties of emotions. If we look back to Western Classical, It connects us to something universal about human emotions. It makes us reach a transcendental stage of mind.
I feel that if we choose to use a different method of letting the user express their emotions through music such as using a constructive envoirnment that the user will have to controll using the hardware it will be a more original idea and we will definatly have put our own slant on it.
