Music/ Literature/ Television/ Other

for me music is probably top of the list...it can lift you when you're down...music can compliment any mood or any emotion and create its own as well...sometimes you can enjoy music hugely without much effort when compared with other art forms

music can also be more of a journey into the unknown...going a buying cd's just because you like the cover and having no idea what to expect...you could be buying the biggest load of crap...but you could just be buying music by a band that you will treasure your whole life

film lacks that kind of mystery...even when buying a dvd of a film you've never heard of...its reasonably easy to guess what its going to be like

books would be a close second to music for me...the fact that very descriptive books require you to use your own imagination to picture the events in your mind is something that makes the experience more personal than film as a medium...a great example being high-rise by JG Ballard...a genius book for stirring the imagination

Nice. It seems literature is being overlooked elsewhere.

Oh, I love to read. I like to try and illustrate scenes from books, too....I have LOADS of LOTR sketches I've done.

Well the second thing would be reading, but it's most always nonfiction...not using much imagination there, unless it's a good fictional mystery.

Thanks, I even made-up a word of my own...'vividity'. Aren't I special!?!

So, VD...Will you enlighten us with some thoughts of your own, or are you purely here for altruistic intentions?

My guess is that after that 'Ockhams Razor' gag, you've been reading some Pynchon as he's the antithesis of simplicity. C'est vrai, n'est pas?

He reads abduction monthly, bought from Borders in the West End.

-AC

Aha! So you're saying he's a man of The Cough? How worthy...

N'est pas.

Not recently anyway.

Really? I am surprised...

VD, please infect us with your own take on this thread of yours...

I'd rather leave it its innocence.

With which artform or medium of communication do you have the strongest connection?

Or, which medium is most likely to affect you in a significant way?

Perhaps via a direct emotional impact, or through a more thoughtful interaction.

When it comes to music, I just LOVE music I love it but it never... influences me, know what I mean?

Literature definitely. Reading has changed me in so many ways.
Some movies too though.

Yeah. I think you thought about it in a more cerebral sense, whereas most others are referring to sensations or feelings.

I suppose films and music are more likely to influence me. Depends on what aspect of me is being influenced, though.

Surgeon the virgin! Surgeon the virgin!

Eis...Yeah, you seem to connect to music in a very spiritual way. It's almost like...you...are music...right? Well expressed and interesting.
