  • Mind, Melody, Mood and Meaning: An Enquiry into Music

    Jun 21 2009, 21h58 por Mobilicorpus

    ‘Without music, life would be a mistake.’
    - Friedrich Nietzsche
    Well, the old dude knew what he was talking about. Although one may question its truthfulness in these troubled times of the 21st century – when artists like Jonas Brothers have gained an unexpected amount of followers and System of a Down have happily overtaken Led Zeppelin in overall play count - the fact remains that music, as a whole, is such an integral part of our lives, of the mind, of our humanity, that we cannot conceive a world without it. One is compelled to ask why: just what is it about music that makes it so necessary, so natural, that we can’t imagine life without it?

    The question is not an easy one to answer, even superficially: nor is it an isolated one, for as soon as you’ve asked it, you’ve asked several other questions as well. How does music transcend the sensory barrier to become what many listeners and composers call a ‘spiritual’ experience? Why does a song you used to listen to as a child bring back memories in all their sharpness, all their vividness – making the experience akin to almost going back in time? Why do some songs make you want to dance, or cry, or, in the case of My Chemical Romance, slash your ears? How are you able to derive comfort and joy from a sad song?

    All those questions are Big Ones, indeed (although I am inclined to think that none of them are more mysterious than the question of why Miley Cyrus is listened to by 239,419 people; a mystery far deeper than them all). Ahem, anyway. So, in this particular journal, I shall try expound on and answer them. To be rather straightforward: I should like to tell you beforehand that this is not going to be one of those dreary, dull, impossible-to-understand ‘theses’- you know, the ones in which folks with balding heads and grimy faces express a few simple truths in grandiose terms, with sentence constructions so complicated they are likely to cause you to rupture a blood vessel or two. No, I intend this to be simply a general study into the matter. Although in some parts I express views that are strongly analytical and hence arguable, I should like to state the scientific parts dealing with it document well-researched facts.

    I do not proclaim to be any kind of ‘authority’ or ‘expert’ on the subject (I despise those terms). I’m any other average eighteen year old girl and therefore do not assert any authority – I only lay claim to general inquiry and curiosity. So, if you’ve any ideas or views of your own on the subject, whether similar or totally opposite, feel free to discuss them in the comments.

    [/end boring preamble]

    If you managed to traverse through that and are not already asleep over your keyboard right now, I shall now assume it safe to proceed. I’m gonna divide the study of music into three main categories, mainly:

    Psychological – in what ways music influences the brain, how different music manages to invoke emotion from the listener, etc.
    Philosophical/Analytical – the need for music, its role in creative self-expression, why it is the most abstract of all arts, etc.
    Social –how music influences the society, cultures, the interaction of music with the listener, the Artist vs the Society, the contemporary music scene and the role of technology, etc.

    I. Psychological


    Hector Berlioz, the famous French composer, once broke down completely during the performance of a Beethoven symphony. He was approached by a fellow-listener, who, seeing Berlioz sobbing uncontrollably, offered consolation: ‘You seem to be greatly affected, Monsieur,’ he remarked gently. ‘Had you not better retire for a while?’ ‘Are you under impression,’ Berlioz snapped, ‘that I am here to enjoy myself?’

    Berlioz’s statement challenges our ordinary conception about music. The commonly held view is that music is a means of sensory pleasure: intended to provide you with enjoyment. While this in itself is true to a degree, no doubt, the whole truth consists of something much deeper. Imagine pleasure, imagine enjoyment, imagine satisfaction – imagine all these, experienced at all times, taken in blindly externally, the edges blunted, neutralised, done away with. They dim the feeling, suppress emotion, flatten the experience, defuse the senses. Something taken in purely for the sake of satisfaction has to wear out sometime and indeed, it does gradually.
    That is why, the music that endures is the music that invokes a deep emotional response. A response that touches a chord of sympathy within the listener. That said, it does not mean that the response should be sad – it can range from sadness to humour to jealousy to happiness. Happinesss, as opposed to pleasure. Jealousy, anger, sadness and joy are all emotions, and it is these emotions that for the listener make music what it is: it goes beyond the gratification of the senses.

    Why Sad Music Makes You Happy, and vice versa

    I would now like to touch on a sub-question: Why does sad music make you happy? To answer it, we must first fully understand what the question really implies – and it is not what it seems. I think I had better illustrate this by contrasting examples.

    Gary Jules’ cover of Mad World is an excellent case in point. Overall, one would be disposed to call it a pretty depressive song. It is gloomy, brooding, lamenting. My Dying Bride’s TocarFor My Fallen Angel , right from the first second, grips you with its opening violin notes and holds you in unimaginable torment and anguish. There are no lyrics – only spoken words come in later in the song, yet from the start, the music itself tends to invoke extreme emotional response in the listener. Further, Keane’s TocarShe Has No Time , Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here , Porcupine Tree’s Where We Would Be (that solo!), Muse’s TocarUnintended , Jeff Buckley’s TocarHallelujah , The Beatles’ Yesterday , Beth Gibbon’s Show , Anathema’s TocarOne Last Goodbye (okay, enough examples) – all of them serve as ‘sad’ songs. What ‘sad’ here means is, on a superficial level, the lyrics and on the deeper, the underlying element of emotion expressed in the music, in the voice and the notes. Not in words.

    It is this inherent sadness, this genuine, unadulterated feeling of the artist that bowls us along into living the song, into experiencing that sadness ourselves. We assume the place of the artist – we are able to place ourselves in the picture. This mutual affinity, this connection born out of the genuine feeling makes the song more real to us, and consequently, a part of us. That is why we are able to derive comfort from sad songs. And that is why it makes us ‘happy’ – but it is a different kind of happiness, which I would be foolish to even begin to describe, for it is a happiness that cannot be expressed in words.

    On to the other extreme, I don’t know if there are others who actually feel ‘sad’ over supposed ‘happy’ songs, but I personally do tend to get ‘sad’ over particular songs that are clearly not supposed to be sad. For example, Pink Floyd’s Green Is the Colour , Explosions in the Sky’s TocarYour Hand in Mine , Regina Spektor’s TocarFidelity , Anathema’s TocarTemporary Peace , Johan Sebastian Bach’s Air , Balmorhea’s TocarTruth , Shubert’s Ave Maria , Buckethead’s TocarFor Mom - all of these serve as excellent examples. They do not offer depressive lyrics, they do not contain a sad note. Yet the sadness is there – just beneath the surface. Not in the song itself, but in your response to it.

    Beauty is tremulously attached to fragility, and when confronted with true beauty, true art, art that is as close possible to truth as can be – it makes you feel ‘sad’. That is not precisely the right word: because it’s again a different kind of sadness, something that you only experience when you confront that ideal of art, beauty. The kind that makes you stop dead in your tracks, the one that catches you unawares, the one that holds you, pins you down and simultaneously makes you feel lighter than air, the one that makes you aware of something you knew and yet didn’t realise before. It needn’t be music – it applies to all art – Michelangelo’s Pieta, Vincent Van Gogh’s Lovers, all represent the ideal of that very rare and very wonderful, beauty.

    We can now understand why music works in such strange ways. Why art indeed, works in such strange ways. As general, common-sense proposition, happy music tends to make you happy – perfectly logical. Similarly, sad music makes you sad. Again, perfectly logical. But, when the thought, the experience, the emotion are pursued to their depths, to create a musical experience of such intensity, a creation of such artistry, the experience turns around, art reveals itself, the reflection reverses itself to become the real thing, art no more imitates life, art becomes life.

    Does Music Determine the Personality, or Does Personality Determine the Music?

    The question seems simple enough at first glance: don’t get deceived by it, for it is a curiously cunning one. Consider for one moment, two people, let’s call them….hmm, shall we call them Proton and Electron? (Oh well, in tribute to my love of particles.) Right then, Proton and Electron are both your average teenagers living ordinary lives. Proton is a happy-go-lucky sort, she gets by doing fairly well at school, has enough friends, seems content with her life. Electron is too a person for whom things are average enough, but he feels discontent, unbelonged, betrayed. Nothing seems to satisfy him. The world to him looks like a giant, staged play: full of actors clamouring for roles.

    Now, what music are Proton and Electron likely to listen to? At first you may say Proton is likely to listen The Beatles, or U2 or Muse or the like. Electron, you would be inclined to say, is more likely to listen Windir or Slayer or Type O Negative or Chopin. You may be right, but it is just as well that Proton enjoys Slayer or Electron likes The Beatles.

    The tastes overlap, do the personalities too?

    Now you are in a deadlock; for where do the personalities come in, and where the music? In what way do they respond to each other? The answers to these questions seem elusive because our approach towards them is conventional, limited: we tend to think in genres. Genres do not define everything. Which is not to say they are useless. Genres have their uses, of course.

    You can classify sound. Can you classify music?

    Not in terms of genres, that’s for sure. Take death metal and take classical – opposite ends of the spectrum, completely different in sound – but in music? Who can tell? Can you say Death’s TocarOpen Casket does not express, in its own ways, similar sentiments found in Frederic Chopin’s Funeral March?
    Thus, in order to answer this question completely, without ambiguity, we take not only the psychology of the individual, nor only the nature of music – but the interaction of both. Music can make you feel, it can make you happy or it can make you rage. Your brain responds to a particular music in its own ways.
    Thus, personality of an individual to an extent determines what music they listen to, and similarly, the music too affects the personality to a certain degree.

    Does Music Make You Smarter?

    Studies have shown that the human brain responds to a challenging piece of music in the same way as it does to a complex problem in maths or science. The link between mathematics and music has been previously established, of course. It also commonly agreed by educators that abstract concepts such as ratios, fractions, etc become more concrete when applied in their musical contexts.
    A commonly observed, and particularly interesting, phenomenon is the Mozart Effect: the discovery suggests that students who listen to Mozart for 10 minutes on a regular basis perform better in spatial-temporal tests.

    Among other psychological effects:

    • It is proven that people who sing on a regular basis rank higher on the happiness scale.
    • In a study of music as a painkiller, people listening to happy music reported 20% less pain than other patients under the same conditions with no music.
    • Music is beneficial to people undergoing medical procedures.
    • Children taught the piano at the age of six are more likely to witness an increase in their IQ
    • It is scientifically proven that music helps patients suffering from stroke recover faster.


    The Heavy Metal Connection

    Stuart Cadwallader and Professor Jim Campbell of The National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth at the University of Warwick came to the conclusion that gifted students who feel the pressure of their ability could be using Heavy Metal music to get rid of negative emotions. The researchers’ conclusion is that the pressures associated with being gifted and talented can be temporarily forgotten with the aid of music.

    II. Philosophical


    Why Music Exists

    Because music has always been around, it is easy underestimate its presence. Just imagine, for one moment, that it did not exist, that folk songs, Pink Floyd, and that annoying ‘HEY HEY, YOU YOU, I DON’T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND’ blasting out of the radio didn’t exist (although you would be grateful for the last one, wouldn’t you?). There would never be a Stairway to Heaven . Nor would anyone sing at weddings and birthdays.

    And then, of course, it all begins to look too unreal. Too implausible. Just as well, because as long there is humanity, there will be music. It is curious that the human foetus, at 16 weeks, starts functioning in the auditory system, which is the first of the brain systems to function. Ten weeks later, it has a functioning brain system around it, which means that you are musically receptive long before anything else.
    One is led to question, why do we need music? Why this inborn need of a melody? Music, above else, is a manifestation of ideas, a means of self expression, a communication of feeling. Humanity owes its sustenance to these very reasons, and therefore music will always be around.

    Music is also our claim to humanity, what connects us with others: a universal channel of empathy. That is true for all art. Every time a person reads a book or picks up a painting or listens to a song, they become a little less lonely.

    Why Music Is the Most Abstract of All Arts

    Music on its own is the most independent and abstract form of art. Its effects are seen on physical as well psychological levels. It is something that exists separately and independently, for neither does it borrow directly from the material world, nor does it reflect a model in nature. Art on it own is a ‘mirror’ of the world which echoes it depth and its scope, but music is not a reflection, it is the thing itself. – For it is, after all, not a mere imitation of anything in nature.

    You can draw a vase or a running stream, or write poems on the most commonplace things but what do you create a melody from? Nothing, it has to come from yourself.

    Perhaps the most strange and wonderful thing about music is that it’s going on. It’s happening! It’s right now, it’s unraveling itself every second, it’s never static – always dynamic, forever changing. The very mechanism of music is constituted that way. Because life itself is a flow, music perhaps is the art form truest to life.

    ‘Becoming One With the Art’ or how the Moonlight Sonata got written

    It is a common experience, for any musician – professional or amateur – when they put their fingers to the keys, unaware of what they are going to play one moment, and the next moment, it just comes to the mind. It’s almost as if the melody writes itself on the canvas of silence. As if the instrument plays itself.

    Where do we draw the line then, between the Artist, and his or her Art?

    One very important, and frequently misunderstood and misrepresented of the whole thing is: Music is identification. Whether as an artist, or as a listener, in response to the notes that flow out of the instrument or the speakers and reach your ears, you place yourself in the picture, you connect with the melody, and thus, as a whole, you identify with the music. You find that something in the song, and that something makes you want to listen to it again and again. You don’t know what it is – you can’t quite put your finger on it, but it’s there.

    This means, music exists because the artist, the composition and the listener unite as one to produce the overall musical experience. It is this interaction between the song and the listener that constitutes music. It follows then, that music can be interpreted in different ways by different individuals. Our response to the song varies and that is why each song is special in its own way.

    There is an interesting story behind how Beethoven came to write his famous TocarMoonlight Sonata. The story goes that, one late evening, while on his way home, he came across a house from which he could hear some of his compositions being practised. He then overheard a girl’s voice, saying that she wished a real artist would play it.

    He went into the house, and noticing that the girl at the piano was blind, offered to play the piece himself. While he played his beautiful music, the moon steadily shone down on the house outside. Beethoven was so inspired, so much ‘into the experience’ of playing the music, he created his Moonlight Sonata on the spot.

    III. Social

    Legend has it that Napoleon Bonaparte took particular care to see that music played while the troops were preparing for war. He was shrewd enough to realise the effect of music on marching troops: it put them in frenzy, it put a spring in their step, it filled them up with a strange sort of enthusiasm.

    The Beatles stopped playing live in ’66 because the noise of the audience was so loud, their excitement so utterly and completely present, that the band couldn’t hear their own instruments over the din.

    In their earliest days, Black Sabbath were denounced and feared by the general public: their new style of distorted music and unconventional lyrics horrified and outraged them. People were terrified of them and their music.

    Bob Dylan’s songs became the anthems of peace in the 60s and 70s, the protest against the war in Viet Nam was a war on the social front, and it has music at its forefront.

    Music is expression of individuality, individuality is originality, originality is resistance. A refusal be brainwashed the conventional modes of thinking, to fit into the mould of the public opinion.

    Is There Too Much Music in the World?

    Modern technology has given way to cheaper, smaller, and easier modes of creating, listening to, and sharing music.

    Artists are in danger of becoming factories. Music is in danger of being made a commodity. Like cereal packets. Manufacture, package, sell.

    Sure, there is good music around – some of the best there has been in decades, post-rock, metal, prog rock. But the rising popularity of ‘indie’ rock is a worrying trend.
    Music is everywhere. It’s ubiquitous and intrusive. In a world where music exists in all places and at all times, its value gets diminished. Silence becomes costly and is paid for by music, music becomes constrained and is paid for by mediocrity.

    Music, Technology and the Future

    There are those who argue against digital music, saying that it isn’t ‘real music’. One can understand where that comes from; but then it is rather like asking, should I write with a pen or a pencil, or should I type it? Do I paint in water colours or oil pastels? Instrument is only the means, melody is the manifestation, music is the meaning. In the end, it’s music that matters.

    There is a resistance against music piracy: I for one think it’s a lost battle. I think it will only get worse with time.

    When you make music, you’re doing something really quite simple: you’re expressing yourself. You have to express it in your own voice so that it’s not lost in the chorus of a billion other voices under the sun. An artist has to place his or her self in the picture, make connections, join the dots.

    If you lose these links, you lose everything. Originality stagnates into repetition. Innovation into imitation. Music into noise.

    Clive Davis once asked John Lennon what sort of music he was listening to, and was stunned by the Beatle's reply: ‘Nothing.’
    ‘Nothing?’ Davis replied. ‘Don't you want to know what's being played?’
    ‘Absolutely not!’ Lennon replied. ‘Did Picasso go to the galleries to see what was being painted?’

    So It All Boils Down To…

    Listen and let listen. That’s it.

  • NWOBHM Band of the Week - 29th May 2009: Avenger

    Mai 29 2009, 19h42 por GrantRS

    (Previous NWoBHM Band of the Week) / (Next NWoBHM Band of the Week)

    I had previously said that I wouldn't write an article about either Avenger or Satan until after I'd done Blitzkrieg since the band's respective histories are so intertwined. I'm going to go back on my word though as I will now be looking at Avenger this week.

    Blitzkrieg first split up in December 1981 (passing on a contract to record an album with Saxon's original label Carrere and an arranged support slot with Saxon in the process) after putting out a well-received single and a very limited edition live cassette (just 150 copies). Vocalist Brian Ross moved back to Newcastle, having previously moved toward London with the band. There he found himself forming a band called Unter den linden and inviting his former Blitzkrieg bandmate Mick Moore (bass) to join the band. The band was completed temporarily by drummer Gary Young and a guitarist called Malcolm. Three members of the band didn't consider the line-up complete until a second guitarist was added though, so Malcolm (the one opposed to the idea) had to go, Steve Bird was brought in and the name Avenger was assumed.

    By this time it was September 1982 and two weeks after the first official line-up of Avenger was assembled (and while supposedly still looking for a second guitarist) the band were invited into Neat Records' Impulse Studios to record a three track demo tape. Hot 'N' Heavy Express from that demo tape made it onto a Neat Records compilation One Take No Dubs... (youtube). The track features a lot of Brian Ross' falsetto wails (the type that are often described as Halford-esque) punctuating the otherwise typical early nwobhm rock 'n' roll and punk influenced style.

    Avenger soon found another guitarist in John Brownless, but Steve Bird had, by then, left. Nevertheless, back to Neat's studios the group went to record their first single Too Wild To Tame (youtube), a track which was originally intended to be Blitzkrieg's second single. It had been written by Brian Ross and Mick Moore though so they retained the song and reworked it for Avenger. Too Wild to Tame is a racey upbeat track delivered well by Brownless' guitarwork and Ross' catchy melodic but (this time) not over the top vocals. The b-side, On The Rocks (youtube), is another great track earning the single's reputation as "one of the truly great heavy metal singles" (to quote journalist John Tucker). Despite being officially a four-piece band at the time guest guitarist Les Cheetham (who was at the time still at school) actually performed solos on both sides of the single. Depending on which soure you believe, however, Too Wild to Tame was not released until either August or October 1983, by which time Cheetham was an official band member, while Brownless had left (once again reducing the band to a four-piece) and Avenger had bizarrely (and to some extent, famously) swapped vocalists with rival band Satan, losing Ross (who appears to have temporarily fallen out with Moore around this time) and gaining Ian 'Swifty' Swift.

    This line up toured Holland and Belgium where the response to the single was noted as having been particularly enthusiastic before again returning to the studio for their first full length BLOOD SPORTS, recorded in early '84 and released in September. Listening to tracks from the album it's not necessarily immediately obvious that Ross had been replaced by Swift as Ross' vocal style from the verses of Hot 'n' Heavy Express is not that far removed from Swift's consistent style. After a couple of track's listening to Blood Sports, however, it becomes apparent that Swift's vocal range is comparatively narrow and, unlike Ross, never strays near a falsetto. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the re-recorded On the Rocks (youtube Swift version). The original version relied on Ross' high-pitched screech at the end of the chorus for its most memorable (and potentially annoying) hook, in contrast, the album version replaced many instances of falsetto with a distracting echo effect on Swift's voice and others with a much lower note for Swifty to hit. In general the album relied on speedy riffs with accompanying relentless drums as Swift seems to race through the lyrics in an attempt to get to the solo and the end of the track is quickly as possible though often the style of delivery does match the lyrical content (see You'll Never Take Me (Alive) (youtube)). My personal favourite on the album is Death race 2000 (youtube), perhaps the catchiest song lyrically on the album while featuring some great prominent soloing from Cheetham and one of the album's best riffs (almost certainly named after the film of the same name, by the way).

    Other tracks of note on the album include Warfare (the closest Avenger ever get on the album to playing a ballad, youtube) and N.O.T.J. (which I can't find on youtube, but could foresee a viable case for categorising it as one of the earliest examples of rap metal). Blood Sports received a mixture of reviews, but importantly was received well in Europe and sold healthily. A second guitarist was added for the tour (which really only consisted of Holland) but both guitarists left at the end of the tour on account of 'musical differences'.

    During downtime Blitzkrieg reformed and bassist Mick Moore doubled as a member of both bands.

    For the follow up album Killer elite, American guitarist Greg Reiter was hired from a selection of auditionees. Upon the 1985 release of the album praise was made to the variation in styles presented on the release. It was now the era of the music video and (especially now with an American band member) the time for an American tour and heavy marketing push was right. Ian Swift's vocal style changed dramatically, becoming much more melodious and at times now reminiscent of Paul Di'Anno and Bruce Dickinson. No longer did Swift shy away from the higher pitched vocals (arguably over-indulging in them on Right to Rock) and the rate of syllables is much slower.

    Killer Elite's opener Revenge Attack

    ...and the following track Run For Your Life

    and, track 7 of 12, Under The Hammer

    Perhaps a surprising number of promo videos to be filmed for an album from which no singles were released, you might think, but it's not clear whether the band had any time or money to release singles.

    The band collapsed upon the end of their American tours supporting Killer Elite. Neatly (no pun intended) this means all of Avenger's releases during their original pre-split period were released by Neat Records with no label changes affecting their release schedule or capping their potential to any significant extent. Avenger did, however, reunite in 2005 and have toured regularly ever since, although for legal reasons they're no called Avenger UK. The band have yet to release any reunion albums but have promised an album called The Slaughter Never Stops supposedly for this year. There are previews on their myspace.

    Myspace

    On this ocassion, it's been quite difficult to try and reserve my opinion until the end of this article. I'm in two minds about Brian Ross' vocal style and tendency to use some rather extreme falsetto screeches. Nevertheless, I did very much enjoy two of the three tracks he performed and I would happily agree with the statement that Too Wild to Tame was one of the best singles of the nwobhm movement. By contrast, I'm not too keen on Blood Sports, Swift's vocals sound below par to me on that album. The whole thing sounds like it's playing faster than it should do and although I understand there is a following for the album, which has achieved some level of cult status, I think there's more emphasis on playing fast than on producing great music, it's still quite good, but it could have been so much better. Killer Elite sounds like a completely different band, and it's true that there is a great deal of variation on the album. Ian Swift seems to have improved hugely as a vocalist between the recording of the two albums, transforming from a vocalist who was almost there solely to be a token vocalist to a man who deserved to be fronting a band that would tour America with big names, and displaying a versatility hardly imaginable after hearing the first album, almost growling on Steel On Steel ("Strike TERROR Deep in the Heart") and dealing memorable choruses, classic rock style vocals and punk-like nwobhm passages alternately. I'm sure the sudden ability the band displayed to vary styles dramatically may have put off some die-hard enthusiasts of the first album, but it is Killer Elite for me that stands as the strong album the band put out that is worth seeking out. I have to admit it's difficult to seed Avenger amid the great and the good of the nwobhm as they ended up with their two full length releases both falling after the supposed end of the movement, though the band (having spun out of Blitzkrieg) still have very strong claim to having been an integrable part of the movement. Blood Sports is a raw representation of the DIY ethos garage band sound that epitomised many of the nwobhm bands. Killer Elite is one of the most satisfactory 1985 releases by nwobhm bands, most of them having by that time gone way off the marks they were intending to hit. There may be some scope for waving accusations of 'sell out' if you happen to be one of the most elitist metalheads around, but it's far more likely it's just slightly more mature songwriting throwing in some melody without necessarily softening the sound (in places it just gets heavier). I'll let you guys make your own minds up on the new material.
