When you listen to a piece of music, where does it seem to have come from? Whose voice is speaking, and to whom are they talking? To the audience? To themselves? To God? Is the composer hiding? Putting on a mask? Telling you their most intimate emotion? Or does the music seem generated by some kind of non-human process?
In this video I look at this quite philosophical question as well as some examples of the various approaches you can take. I also look at the typical/stereotypical ways each genre handles the question, with the hope it will encourage musicians of all types to think about this subject and how it relates to their own music.
