More the emotional impact of music.... but..

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Victor Hugo

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is Music." - Aldous Huxley

I recommend his book, 'Awakenings'. It's indescribable.

"The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining...."

Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908), French anthropologist

"Music can, in a few moments, admit us through vast portals into avenues, courts and halls of infinite extent and variety. Music can suddenly raise up an entire structure and, by the device of modulation, lift it on to a podium, abruptly recess its facades and turn them bodily into the sunshine"

John Newenham Summerson (b. 1904), British architect, author.

"Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason."

Albert Camus (1913–1960), French Philosopher in “Essay on Music", 1932

"There is _no_ theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law. I love music passionately. And because l love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. It is a free art gushing forth, an open-air art boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea. It must never be shut in and become an academic art."

Claude Debussy

These quotes are all heavy. THANKS!!!

Can any of you guys think of anything more related to the power of sound in general i.e. not focussing on music.

Like the theory or importance of sound in film or giving a landscape or space character?
