Ok, this is a thread I've been thinkin of starting for a while. The idea is, I've been feeling in the past few months like my music is actually communicating emotion in a way that is much more efficient than speech. Something as simple as a filter sweep at the right time seems to be able to communicate something to people that, well, just can't be expressed in words. Tingles are common, other people just stare at me, especially live, as if I've just said something incredibly intriguing about myself. Is music actually a functional part of human evolution in this respect. Is music our other language?

Peaceout

I know that I can comunicate something through sound in amuch deeper way than speech. for lack of better words, I can 'feel' something to others. I'd say that music is indeed another language.

humans have many non-verbal languages. yeah, music is one.



I've experienced the opposite effect. I say something and people look at me like I've just tweeked the cutoff frequency.

i aint gonna say its ovious (if thats how u spell it)but guess what it is ovious.artists, musicans are all trying to communicate something "EXPRESSION" just take film music as example i.e (lalo scrifron)happy ,sad ,angry,ancious can all be communicated....and thats just with simple chord,amagine what u could do with a track
