whenever I listen to music, it always goes beyond a collection of sounds coming together in my head, it always ends up "painting" a picture in my mind.
so...
what I want to know is what images come to your head when you listen to music...more specifically, when you listen to dredg. Just pick a song -or an entire album- and speak about what images you see in your mind.
for instance,
when I listen to "whoa is me" I imagine a series of pictures:
during the "fluttering" trumpet: I evoke the image of a friend of mine playing his trumpet in a pitch black area, not standing on anything. The music he plays comes out as rings, and reverberate around all the space around him, until he just disappears
Once the vocals kick in:
I imagine the band in a room resembling that of the "bug eyes" video (to put it simply), playing the song, quite calmly, very mellow
Once the chorus starts:
The room dims, and everything slows down, while Gavin seems to act as if the opposite of what he speaks is happening (not overflowing, but near empty) to his breath. He moves around, acting out what he is saying, almost as if he's interpreting the song for the deaf
Most of the rest of the song seems to take place in a vista of mountains that looks as if it's taken out of an old asian painting. It switches between the "bug eyes" room and the claustrophobic (sp?) space where I first saw them live (Agora Theatre in Cleveland). I feel almsot as if I'm at total nirvana, while the rom bleeds beige and green. The band keeps on playing. The room is all of a sudden empty, and I'm in the back of the theatre, simply in shock. My ears feel as if they just had a few too many orgasms.
If any of you would like ot share some of your expieriences, feel free
if - on the other hand- you think this thread is absolute bulls--t, then don't be a dick and tell me how much it sucks, just don't post and let it die.
