Whenever I listen to music, I would imagine something, or more precisely, some scenes will enter my mind automatically.
Whether it is river reflecing clouds in the blue sky, or rising sun shines on the ocean, or epic wars on an infinite plain,
or heros standing on top of the mountain… Even for some of Bach’s abstract materpiece, I can still see some slowly
rotating geometries suspended in the air.
But there are exceptions, exceptions I once never expected. Whenever I listen to them, there is virtualy nothing concrete
in my mind image. The best way to explaine this is through an example. The following is Toccata & Fugue in d minor by
Bach.
I fall into darkness when listen to it, there may be wierd lights/lightening flashing in the remote remote distance, or deep color
clouds/fogs constantly changing its shape in the sky, or…
Also seems I have no resistance to this musical instrument (the only one too), it is so magic and can enchant and
control people’s heart easily, this renders it even a little “evil” (don’t mean it, just can’t find stronger word). A good
analog here is incantation, they are not normal words linked to real world existences as the music I mentioned in
first paragraph. But incantation belongs to same category as the music in the video, both are at the mysterious
spiritual level.
