    True. We suck at staying on topic... dizzy

    Here was the last thing said that was on topic:

    So anyway, back on-topic.
    I guess everyone has these songs or tracks of pieces of music that they associate with events and people in the past. Sometimes, obviously, these are less happy events (illness, a lost love, that sort of thing), and once said music comes on, you are reminded of that situation.

    However, do you actually also avoid such music? To maybe avoid that memory and its associated emotions?

    To me music is the second strongest emotional trigger (as with many people, the sense of smell is number one). I'm slightly embarrassed to confess there are pieces of music -both good, which is a shame, AND bad- I avoid.

    I'll follow up with an example later.
    I was just wondering if this was something people recognised, or not at all?

    To go back on topic (sorry), I really try to play music that triggers something, because most of my music does nothing for me lately unfortunately...

    shocked
    Gladiator? Conan? Time Machine? Chicken Run? Fire?

    NOTHING?
    shocked
    sad

    it's time for something new! I think I should watch more movies perhaps.

    Or maybe even completely different types of music?
    Some classical? World music?
    Heavy metal? punk


    But mine indeed did not get an answer as everyone was wrapped up in semiotics, metaphors, life choices, religion and logic.
    (I do admit my post was rather dark, which may have put people off replying a bit).

    Ah, in which case:

    Smell is still my number one emotional trigger, by far. For me, music is far too abstract to compete with the instantaneous and all-too real effect of sensing a smell. Each concert I've ever been to I tend to associate with a specific or a mix of specific aftershaves and perfumes since people seem inclined to douse themselves in the stuff before going to a concert. Rock-type concerts, on the other hand, normally just smell of tobacco, sweat, alcohol and weed. biggrin

    But as most of us here I'm sure use music as a 'get away' from any problems we might be experiencing, and, on a more positive note, a way of celebrating something that has made us happy, association is a pretty unavoidable consequence of music. (Which is both a good and bad thing, depending on what is associated.)

    One of the better associations I have with music is my listening to Christopher Gordon's Commonwealth music while coming in to land in San Fransisco. I also listened to it when I was rushing down Mt. Diablo after I'd just cycled up it, and THAT I can assure you is an extremely positive association to have. Fucking magical to say the least.
  14. Oh yeah, smell is my trigger too. Especially regarding the opposite sex

    Thanks for sharing that Steven, that's more what this thread is about ( or has become, since a slight change of title ).

    I once went camping with a couple of friends in Somerset, very close to Chedder Gorge, after a night full of food, drink, a fire and good company the other two went to bed, I didn't feel tired so I played more music, the time of the morning dictated that I play Vaughan Williams symphony # 3 'Pastoral', a perfect choice. Just as the second movement started I stood up to give my legs a stretch and was confronted by the most magnificent scene, rolling hillsides looking like Islands in a sea of thick white mist with everything above crystal clear in a way that can only ever be seen just before sunrise, combined with the music it was a moment of sublime beauty, a truly mystical moment shared only by myself. Everytime I hear that second movement I am transported to the vision of that moment in time.

    Good story, Tim.
    Thing is that I think on those occasions everything comes together, your solitude included.
    I would put odds that had you not been alone, the experience wouldn't have been as powerful as it was.

    Pook's alright I guess. Not as good as discombobulate though. That truly is a symphony of syllables.
  30. Jocelyn Pook? Never listened to her, I'm afraid.
