All it takes is one note and I reblog

hey does anybody mind if I music geek for a second don’t mind if I do

There’s something really powerful about this piece, or about all iconic themes in general. When a piece of music can take you from wherever you are and transport you somewhere—and you know exactly where that somewhere is, the faces, the locations, the moments, even if it’s not the same moment or location or face for everyone—it’s doing a very, very powerful thing.

I can’t say I’ve ever been the biggest Harry Potter fan, though I did love the series. So when I first heard this start, I thought: “Oh, okay, Harry Potter theme, everyone’s freaking out over nothing.” But then I just went somewhere, and I saw young smiling Harry Potter, new to the world of magic and eager to start a new life, unaware of all the tragedy he’s about to face … and I said: “Oh, wow.”

Kudos, John Williams.

I wish I could read into music like that. I grew up just enjoying music based on how it makes me feel, to the point that I don’t pick up on lyrics unless I concentrate on trying to hear what they’re saying.

Although recently I did take an interest in sort of… conceptualizing the music world. Like the way we tell the differences between objects and then group them up by similarities in order to form concepts. I wanted to try listening to music to do that. To sort of figure out concepts for the “musical world”. (Which probably already exist and are probably taught in every music class.)

I practiced at trying to listen to the way certain arrangements of notes went, and I tried to form some sort of connection between the way the notes traveled and how they made me feel.

A couple of months later, I happened to be casually listening to Pjanoo, by Eric Prydz. I had started to think about my desire to learn about the musical world like that. And I started to focus on the music. And suddenly I realized that the piano notes were the same four notes every single time, and yet somehow they sounded like they were going in different directions every time. I asked myself, “How does he DO that?”

Then over the course of a few hours of listening and re-listening, I discovered a whole new world of depth in this song that I had never imagined existed. I totally am not musical at all. But I nerded out big-time over how much of a musical genius Eric Prydz is. I read so deeply into what he was doing. Not only did I quickly figure out the trick. I concluded that the whole song was him putting on a magic show for anyone alert enough to “watch” it. At first, he performs his trick, making you wonder how he does it. Then he reveals his secret by isolating a buzzing, panging sound and showing you how it modifies the direction that the piano notes feel like they’re traveling in. And then he hides it again and performs the trick, and he still does it so smoothly that you can’t even find the secret unless you’re concentrating absolutely on hearing it.

I swear I’m not musical at all. Just a deep thinker in general, haha. My favorite genre is uplifting trance, because it, well, uplifts me. But everyone else hates it because it’s repetitive or something like that.

I know it’s not the same as nerding out about the harry potter theme transporting you to another world. But it still seemed pretty nerdy to me, haha.
