Has the music anything to be with your photos?

[apforever]

Today it's a grey day in my city. It's no usually but I like it. I don't see blue sky. It's a cool day. We have 5 or 6 grades. It's perfect looking behind the windows as the rain was falling .......... but this is not at all. I was hearing music that makes me feel a lot. Prokofiev as example with his classic simphony or others more and my mind fly with a lot of ideas for work with phototography. Do you have the same feeling? It's the clasical music for you a way to inspare to take photos?

When I pick up a camera, Madonna's "Leica Virgin" comes into my head.
If there isn't enough "light" music, I often hear Harry James' frenetic trumpet playing of "Flash".
When I project the image on to the baseboard I usually think of the group "Blurr".
Then when I dunk a 10 by 8 in the fixer, of course it has to be anything by "Prince".

Music has absolutely nothing to do with my photography.

Building darkroom, 3 x 6 meters. Have old 5 in 1 system. will run cables for speakers. JJJ during the day, ABC classic FM during the night. Compose and create, mood and music I feel, go hand in hand. Same deal for picy's.

In the morning before sunrise I like Sigur Ros.
Also, I second Miles.

I would agree, Sigur ros. And maybe Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Music has absolutely nothing to do with my photography.

And I'm not an "Artist".

Music has absolutely nothing to do with my photography.

...or mine either.

I am 60 now and have played music since I was about 6, playing professionally, on and off, from age 14, and like MetaGeorge, music is very visual for me. I see scales, keys, timbre, rhythm, timbre, everything.

But for me a photograph is a glimpse into silence, even photographs of scenes that are noisy. I have never associated music with anything visual, not painting, sculpture, photography, nothing.

And I never listen to music in the darkroom. It is either silence or talk radio. After a long session, I often play some music (not a recording, I mean an instrument) to relax.

Now I am not saying this is better and I don't really understand why a musician would be like this, but there it is. I leave it up to someone smarter than I to figure it out.

It's interesting to see a couple of involved musos visualising music.

I'm very fond of music, although not a player. I would not listen to music in the darkroom, but certainly in performance and via the CD player, where concentration is required.

Synaesthesia may not be rare in non-visual arts; Scriabin in music and Nabokov in literature were afflicted (?) in a similar manner.

I understand that Ansell Adams was a pianist, perhaps he will offer his thoughts from beyond the grave.

"After a long session, I often play some music"

In my case today, alas via CD, Rautavaara's 7th and 8th Symphonies, highly recommended.

I switch between Bonobo and early 90's hip hop Pharcyde always makes me wish I was shooting.
