Single tone

Sometimes a single tone can provide more than a whole batch
of sounds. If you fiddle with ONE tone enough, you can get
certain feelings that match those of the subconscious mind.
For example, ELECTRIC PYLONS. They have a certain "thing",
don't they? Who doesn't stare at electric pylongs and feel
something? While looking at one, try making "that" electric
pylone tone with a single synth note and lots of effects.
It'll be a spiritual experience. Trees are good too, though
pylons are more industrial and electric.

only a sine wave is a single tone, all other sounds are
several

Yess, that is what i was thinking of. In any state of mind,
go and take pictures of an Electric Pylon. I'm in HUngary at
the moment, and they're much better here than in England.
Austria and Germany had huge, wonderfully overpowering
electrical pylons (and some windmills, too.) Make some
ambient music out of a sine wave to pictures of electric
pylons. It's a spiritual experience.

nah, sound doesn't hold the information to meaningfully
represent stuff like that, unless you use sound to say its
word in some form of language or morse code or something.
But you as an individual might have sounds associated with
visual objects in your memory through your experience, but
another individual will often have different memories/
experiences (though many will also be similar since we all
live in the same world. ex. everyone knows the creeking
sound a tree makes when it falls) 'n shit

Sorry i couldn't come up to your album launch dude.

: (

I hope it went alright. On topic now though: I do see what
you mean i don't know about the spirituality of trying to
make music from their inspiration though.

Sorry, I don't remember making those posts (very
cringeworthy excuse, I know) BUT there was an element of
truth in them. Electric pylons are strangely majestic, not
the rubbish small boring ones, but those huge ones that
stretch accross endless fields of countryside. I'm surprised
more album covers don't just have those on them.
