Artwork Review: "SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER SIDE" (The Creative fusion of Art and Music)




Musician Stevie Wonder has said that "music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand." Music is a language, with or without words, serving as a medium for people from all walks of life to express their deepest thoughts and emotions. In fact, author Leo Tolstoy has described music as "the shorthand of emotion".


Personally, I have thought about the dominating music genre at the moment, and how we easily sing along to the songs from these Artistes. One prominent musician doing justice to this on the African scene is Wizkid, which is why I have chosen him as the subject matter in this Art piece. Without doubt, he has proven himself as a polymath in the fusion of contemporary Afro-Pop in grand style.

Of course, the musical experience goes beyond simply listening to it; as an exercise in creativity and as a social activity, music involves considerable emotional and cognitive investment, whether it be composing music or performing it. Despite its widespread presence and importance in many cultures, music's effects on the human mind are only just beginning to be understood.

With or without lyrics, music conveys a message, an emotional message that reaches down into our heart, stirring the deepest feelings and emotions. This has been the point of fruition in conceptualizing this Artwork, with the intention of evoking visceral connection with the viewer.

Music Psychology and Mental Health

Whether music is performed with electric or acoustic instruments, when it reaches the ear, it is transformed through the components of the eardrum through the hearing nerve into electrical signals, and then electro-chemical signals, when it passes into the brain, and processed by the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe (Purves, Augustine, Fitzpatrick). Emotion is also processed, in part, by means of the amygdala, a small almond-shaped part of the brain within the temporal lobe.

Time Perspective 02: This is the story of a helpless woman who is about to become famous, but for the very wrong reasons.

We are all currently going through the coronavirus pandemic, and I can't help but ask the question of whether people have to choose between dying by the Virus or by other means? Means such as fear, hate, racism, ignorance or even starvation. Should there be a need for that question in the first place? World Nations casting aspersions on another, so much to blame on the topic of transparency, and world domination. The negligence of Health institutions. Conspiracy theories floating through the wind, here and there. After all is said and done, what do we make of all these? The idea of legacy may remind us of death, but it's not about death. Being reminded of death is actually a good thing, because death informs life. It gives you a perspective on what's important. It helps us decide the kind of life we want to live and the kind of world we want to live in. Leaving a legacy is a human need. It is in part selfish – we want to feel immortal. The idea of leav

The Voice of the Voiceless - My approach to Light, Composition, and others Elements

Fatola's The Voice of the Voiceless Your understanding and appreciation of this piece "The Voice of the Voiceless" lies in my intent to create. This can be enhanced by asking the questions, "Why was this created?" and What is it's purpose?" My Candid Answer: By replicating reality in the finest detail, I have simply pursued Truth. It's very simple. The reason why I have created this piece is an attempt to reveal the Truth about how the world looks, and how it works.  My aim is to force you to confront Azeez' troublesome gaze. And I sincerely hope the truth I discover (which I believe is endless) provides a valid commentary on his condition as a human. Throughout my Project "Through Heaven's Eye's", I will be reaching outward to describe truths of "others". Truth about humanity - by puting myself in their position, and trying to reflect with a great honesty, their innermost acclaim. experiences and emotions.

She's ART. You don't quite know why you're drawn to her, but you don't question it.

"Eve" doesn’t have a race, color or hair type. Eve is a lifestyle every female lives unknowingly each day, making decisions and sharing her time, self and space with others not because she’s a slave but because she’s the mother of all living. "Eve" is who we are and what we stand for. She’s beautiful, in her flawlessly flawed natural state.
