The Warning - Escape The Mind

This indefinite role of the creator further complicates the role of the artist and what impact they may have on the creation of particular works... their impact comes within a particular historical horizon. The artist is limited by his or her place in the world and to some extent is at the mercy of what they can create. The artist may have the knowledge of how to create these works, but their impact cannot be known without the communities that make the works possible... because they cannot control the impact of the art that they create after it is completed. They may be responsible in part for the work’s revealing qualities, but are not the sole reason why a work may impact the world as it does. The truth or its unfolding has a much richer process than simply applying paint to a canvas or in playing particular notes. These creations must resonate within a community in order to make a profound impact upon its people... Often times, it is not one, but many artists who create multiple works that make up a style which defines an epoch... Therefore, the unfolding of truth is not simply a matter of creating a work, but creating a work that impacts a whole community in a profound manner.

The process of creation has no real bearing on the outcome, which is the point at which revealing occurs. What is missing is the dynamism that art can have in cases of music. Even if we are to put aside the process of creation, in music we find a more difficult task of pointing to where we can find revealing. Is the point at which revealing occurs in the recording of a song, in its playing, or in its written composition? The answer to this question alters the evental nature of art and music tremendously. If we limit events to the playing of a song, then all recorded material has a different kind of eventful nature and is thus a different form of revealing.

The Psychotic Reactions - Skip To My Lou

It expresses the emotions of angst, anger, and lust in some of the only ways that are accepted by society. The history of this edgy music genre dates back to the 1950s. It was formed by a combination of the blues, gospel music, and country. Throughout the decades, rock ‘n roll has evolved and become famous for being the genre that’s continued to push the boundaries of music, and, sometimes, the cultural boundaries of society itself. In the 1950s rock ‘n roll could be defined as rhythm and blues. In the 1960s it was partial to new musical styles such as folk rock and soul. And in the 1970s hard rock was born. From the 1980s to the present, technology has had an enormous impact on the music industry. Good taste is the enemy of the revolution. This remark epitomizes the spirit of rock ‘n roll. You’re not expected to conform, you’re expected to be yourself… no matter what anyone thinks. You are admired deeply for expressing emotions such as anger, heartbreak, and sadness through music in a...
