.forum - week six.



During forum student's presented the sound files they have created which are designed to embody each of the Nine Indian Emotions. Stephen mentioned a study which revealed that blind people were more able to perceive alterations in voice tone, and able to discern from that information about their emotion state more accurately than people with unimpaired vision. The findings of our own study conducted today (with no blind subjects) was that cliché motifs - sounds - were easiest to relate to the emotion they were linked with. From this information, in conjunction with the study using blind subjects, I would have to suggest my theory that sampling an idea is one of the easiest, quickest and most direct ways to convey an emotion to modern people. Modern people. The samples I provided for the task were taken mostly from very new music - it came to my attention that 'new' and 'cliché' is not as effective an old cliché. While that may seem bleedingly obvious, it has certainly given me a new perspective to consider when composing music using samples.
