Lonan3 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Cognitivist theory holds that the experience or intrepretation a particular musical sound engenders is a result of a conscious process of inference. Implicit in this line of thought is the idea that music has expressive properties which listeners recognise.... The idea for these cognitivists is that there is a resemblance of music in pitch, volume, rhythm, melody and structure to the natural human expression of emotion in voice, demeanour and behaviour. According to Emotivist theory, music is both a cause and an effect of sentiment. In perceiving music we react to it affectively. Emotivists are persuaded that the direct arousal of emotion, such as being surprised, disturbed, satisfied, relaxed etc by the music, is a clue to its emotional expressiveness. Ushedo, Ben.

thebees Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Winner! Lonan3, thank you, thats the kind of answer I was looking for. Theories but with 'knowledge' the question now is, which one will I go with? Cognitivist, feels more apt for the situations I have experienced.

Dr Fish Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 To much MDMA when you were young. Thats the problem. Bit harsh Molly, Music has a profound effect on the human senses, Whether its the sound of the angelic string or the pounding drive of a kick drum, Music is the 4th dimension. Which we're still only learning about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
