Music is in everything we do, in every one of our senses. Most people are only familiar with music of the ear, but it is much more than that. Music of sight is art. Cool colors are a minor, lower sounding song, while bright vibrant colors are an upbeat and loud musical piece. Music of touch is texture. Each bump is a different interval between musical notes. The more rough the texture is, the choppier the music is. Music of taste is a dish of food. Spicy foods are louder, faster, while sweet foods are a lovely arpegio in the mouth. Music of smell is a fragrance. The more pungent the smell, the more dramatic the music is. A mild smell is more like a soft, slow, beatiful piece.
We as a society label ourselves: "Oh, I'm not musical." However, everyone has music in them. I recently read a book on Quantum Physics called "Taking the Quantum Leap" (which I highly recommend) which explained that all matter is just a pulse on a wave. What is music than a pulse on a sound wave? And does that mean that we are, in fact, a music of a different form?
The thing I'm really trying to strike at, by using music, is that by making a seperation between ourselves and something else, we completely misunderstand it. Everything is the same, just in different forms. And we must expand our mind of thinking to this if we are to go any further into the future.
