I listen to a wide range of music and music plays a huge role in my life. I listen to music at every opportunity and I truly love indulging myself in different music to help me in a sense get away from the reality. I love the sensuous element of music just like Copland discussed in his writing. I love being able to daydream with music, and one powerful element of music is that it brings me back memories bout me or someone about someone I care about. When a musical piece makes his connection with me it has meaning to me in a special way, even though maybe the music itself might have a very different meaning. Although most of that music involves words, I also listen to a handful of EDM(electronic dance music). A significant part of this genre involves no words or very little words in its work. While some of this music such as Hardwell and Martin Garrix help me change my mood and daydream away, a recent artist that I have been listening to in this genre is Porter Robinson. When I discovered his music it seemed so different from the mainstream EDM and instead of hyping me up and giving me a rush of energy, even though some of it is upbeat, I felt more melancholic. It was a weird connection that I had and I couldn’t stop listening, some of his work had extremely little amount of words and somehow it still gave me goosebumps. I have truly appreciated his work from then on and have been listening to him a lot recently.
