Music is part of a system of art but it is not representative. Sound music exists, while taste/smell music does not because of the nature of our eyes. Music can evoke "sad feelings" sometimes but it is not "sad," and it won't cry. Absolute music is not representational. Contour Theory: "Sonic Shape" evokes lines.

Bullough
|
To view art, one must assume a psychical distance and view it with no pretexts.
|
|

|
There is no such thing as a mental state, Bullough is a fuckhead. However, you should try to keep an open mind.
|
|
Indescernible Counterparts
