Music Observations

Friday: I'm supposed to be logging my use and observations about others' uses of music this week for NIME. So far, I've listened to my ipod each day - sometimes I let it shuffle, and other times I load a particular song or playlist that I'm in the mood for. For the past couple of days, I've listened to music when walking or riding the subway as well as while I'm at work and need to try to sustain the will to live because it's so painstakingly boring.

Saturday: noticed the orchestral background music in the documentary In the Shadow of the Moon; low pitched instruments, especially cellos evoke emotion in me

Monday: listened to upbeat music to work-out to; I like to sync my pace with the music.

Tuesday: listened to a calming song on the way to meet someone new; then played a song for a friend that I resonate with a lot right now (in terms of the lyrics)
