I know what you mean! It depends a lot on the age of the recording, though.
Listen to it more, so the thoughts related to its creation come and
go and then try it again!

lucky one... and the rest of the world? How about some CD-Rs :-) ?

right, this all sounds familiar to me. Its not that I could not feel
it, but I dont *see* it.
[ Hm. Now I realize that Goddess got me. To imagine the feeling is
enough to create couple music. So I was rather interested in the
voyeristic satisfaction than the music <smiles>
I will have to pay for that - just wait, I will come up with
something. LOL... ]
Besides, I am rather looking for another kinds of associations:
God: a deep drone
The Healing Energy: quirling mixture of rather high pitched quick melodies
to Give is a melody down
to Grow: a melody up
to Work: steady beat
Love: romantic melodic
Tension: disharmony
Hate: free tonal melody
Domination: a fat harmony
...
Recently someone wanted music for a war story. I felt the phases:
- the reason: some disharmonic clusters growing
- the motivation: Marsh music, a heavy pulse with euphoric brass
- the act: maybe still the same rhythm but different wild melodies
and screaming dist.
- the result: some muddy drone and shrieking sounds
I mean: Anyone could come up with something similar, because the
music has some absolute meanings to it. We got global musical
archetypes. Lets use them to communicate!
