"Musical emotions"

Section MS1, Thandi Loewenson

Keywords: sound music

This project comes from my love of classical music. I am happy every time I play the piano, music can brings out emotions. Because different tones can bring out different feelings, but how can you show this feeling in a way? It's difficult to put the feeling on display. This is what I have tried to present in this work: a different kind of emotion expressing the piano tunes.

So in terms of presentation, I use the photographic term 'light direction', which means that the same thing in different light produces different feelings. Here I use it in a disguised way in music, where the same piece of music in different keys can bring out different sensations. Although this feeling is sometimes subtle. So I'm going to put the focus on a piece of music to transform this one. I chose Debussy's "Moonlight" as the theme song for the project, adapting it to different tones and then showing it through sound, images.

The sound of the piano is media, and so is the paper score. They are all tightly focused on the theme of music. I will combine sound and visuals in order to better convey the theme to the audience. Although the changes are subtle, they are the essence of the piano and you have to be quiet and attentive to understand the subtleties of the emotions.
