What is it about music that marks us so much?
We have been listening to music by Edith Piaff and Charles Aznavour ahead of tonight's concert at the Allinace Francaise in Dubai and totally struck by how music transports us to a different time and place. What's more surprising is it is not always easy to explain why it evokes certain seasons, people, tastes, emotions. I noted what images "Je ne regrette Rien" brought to my mind and I share them here.. some are totally obvious but others not so much:
Music creates a response within us...even in the Middle Ages, certain musical chords, when played together were referred to as the Devil's Chords and musicians have long known that the placement of certain musical notes together can create pleasure or pain.
What is your pleasure? What is your pain?
Why am I writing this post, you may be wondering? Well, as a crowdfudning platform, we think musicians are so talented and under served in our part of the world We'd love you all to let your musician firends know that if they would like to record a single, an album or make a video, crowdfunding could be an opportunity for them!
