What would you do in the music industry? Why is it not being easy a barrier?

From my understanding the psychological (and probably the physiological) effects of music are entirely emotional. If music were void of emotion it would simply be sound. But music isn't the only sound that invokes an emotional response. Think of the ocean, a car horn, a heartbeat, a baby's cry. Sound is a big part of how we connect to the world. I think a work without music would be a world even more disconnected from its soul.

Though I am not a musician, I have a huge passion for music and it too is part of my everyday life. I agree with the first comment to this blog completely; effects of music are entirely emotional. I strongly believe that is impossible to not have any emotional feeling when listening to any kind of music. It makes me think that we would all essentially be like robots if we had no emotion attached to music.

I cannot imagine music without emotion, almost as I can't imagine a world without music.
Without the emotional response, music is simply a combination of noises in a particular order, and even at that, I don't think it's possible: I, too, agree with stochastic_mud about human responses to sound.

Do you mean to ask if music has the same potential to influence people pschologicaly if the maker pours emotional direction into it compared with if the maker does not intend a particular emotional response? If so, what do you think?

Do you reckon that someone who was deprived of music for their whole life would be happy without it, or would they create their own music?
