See the Music
It's not all about the sound
You cognize the phenomenon, everytime you hear music playing in the background you believe about the cartridge holder associated to the song.
Many old age ago, music was just about sounds. Skilled people with beautiful, at times selfmade, instruments entertained other people. Back then, music was a gift.
But with the introduction of MTV and assorted other tv-broadcasters, cartridge holders are now a must for artists. If you don't have got an attractive, high-tech clip you cognize you'll neglect on the billboards. People associate these cartridge holders to the quality of the music. If the cartridge holder they see is bad they'll halt hearing to the song and bend off the screen.
Sexy misses dance with small clothing on, rappers acting tough, ..It's all been done before. Artists now look for computerised video images, with particular personal effects which fit with the sound they produced. It brushes the spectator along for about 3 minutes, enough time to hear the song and perhaps like it.
Music necessitates the images, but needless to state the mental mental images definitely necessitate the music. You could even state that music videos are a modern version of opera. In an opera, you have got music and acting together as a package. It tells us a story, just like most music videos do. As we all are funny at times, people be given to wish stories. Makers of music videos cognize this and seek to make a story with their music videos.
The story typifies the music: if a song sounds sad, the story will not be a happy tale.
In the future, people will have got to maintain on disbursement much time in developing their attractive clips, perhaps even more than time than they dedicate to producing music.
So I'll give you a good tip:
don't always see the music, hear it..
