PULSERA: Musings on music and emotion

More often, people find themselves swarming with all sorts of questions about various things. Just recently, PULSERA talked about emotion and music, and then along the conversation came a potential artistic argument that has yet to be supported by facts, "art can exist without emotion."

Art can be described in several ways: a study of creative skill, a process of using the creative skill, a product of the creative skills, or the audience's experience with the creative skills. When something is driven by creativity, can human emotion be detached to it? First and foremost, what drives creativity?

How do people come up with an artwork? Whether be it music, painting, poem, it is surely inspired by something.

PULSERA continues its pursuit of creating music based on artistry and never for commercial viability.

An art is the personification of thoughts and emotions, using personal experience, witnessed event that lead to empathy or sympathy, as its possible sources. In fact, this goes not only to people who are doing the art, but even those who are appreciating it. It is said that the common response in viewing artwork is the sense that the space in a work has meaning, both because it meant something to the artist, and because it means something to the viewer, who takes the time to look at it and respond to it. The response of finding meaning is never without emotion.

So to say that art can be created without the slightest hint of emotion is an absurd idea, probably said by someone who cannot detect the connection or is in some emotional turmoil that leads to denial of sort.
