Redditor explains music to a deaf person

[Member22]

I stumbled over an interesting explanation of music to a deaf person:

Ironic that it was made by a person named "Badlogic".

[hatori1181]

that response was actually well written. Makes me wonder if that person had dealings with a deaf person before.

I really, really liked this description. Read it last night, and I spent a large chunk of my time at work thinking about it today. Also made me wish I could see a newly hearing person experience music for the first time.

Definite +1 to that guy, that's a really brilliant way to describe it.

To quote Hanna: "Music. A combination of sounds, with a view to beauty of form, and expression of emotions.:

[Bringerof_D]

hmm, thats a very good interpretation of music. I guess one could compare different tones to different families of colors. Just like in paintings where a particular color would invoke a feeling of loneliness or bright happiness, particular tones would make us feel sad, or pumped up.

I'm trying to remember a certain Pratchett's quote, which can be applied here. It goes in the lines of: "It is a good description. Wrong in every sense, but still very useful."

[Rocket Royal]

It is as accurate as the equivalency between two senses can be.
