Musitation: how does one present through music?

[PT: Musitation: how does one present through music? end PT]

So this has been a question at the back of my mind for a bit, because I really like the musitation label

I'm aware that at the end of the day, the answer to this could boil down to 'it's up to user interpretation'. However, I know there's folks (myself included) who like having some frame of reference for things like this.

I think there's different ways one could go about it

1. Song meaning/symbolism. Art is up to interpretation, so this one can be tricky, but some songs are assigned a specific meaning by the creator. Ego Renegade Boy by Flavor Foley, on the surface, is about a boy who is put on trial for killing an innocent girl, but it's clearly meant to be a metaphor for being a trans man. Someone may present as masculine in the specific context of this song. For songs that don't have a clear 'meaning', I would say how someone presents as it is up to how you personally interpret the song.

2. How the song sounds. Things like how a song in major key sounds happy/uplifting/bright, while songs in minor key sound sad/serious/scary, could play into the presentation. This can also be shown through different instruments: pianos/violins being associated with elegance, guitars being associated with being brash or outgoing, etc. Fast songs could pair with a more bright and chaotic presentation, slow songs could pair with a calmer one.

3. Song context. This can kind of overlap with song meaning sometimes. Some songs are specifically made to sound like a particular emotion/sensation/environment, which can play into the presentation. (Ex: snow/winter levels in video games sounding 'cold.' More about this in this video ) Or, if a song is apart of a video game/show/movie/etc, when and why a song plays can play into presentation. I'm not sure how to give examples for this without spoiling plot points in specific medias, but a general example could be a song that plays during a character death could be paired with a grunge-y or somber presentation. An album that's themed around love can be presented through love-core aesthetics and such.

These are all suggestions, not a rule, none of these are set in stone because everyone interprets music pretty differently. At some point I plan on posting presentation ideas/suggestions for specific musitation labels (once I get the energy to).
