Music. It comes from so many different places; comes in such a variety of forms; evolves with time. Music is a rollercoaster of emotions, some happy, some sad, some hopeful, some hopeless. Music is a mural waiting to be drawn, a blank canvas free for anyone to enhance it with whatever they please. It is a variety of styles spilled into one intangible form of art that joins the most unlikely of things together.
Strings, brass, vibrations, skins, air, wood, echoes; all join together to create a harmony or a melody that soothes the ears it touches. Music is a rollercoaster.
The Evolution of American Music, a mural created by the Pennsylvanian Mural Arts Program depicts the ellegant transformation of music throughout time. The creator of so many instruments, the tree, wrapped by its offspring and those influenced by the original pieces. The artists creates a surreal environment where music is the basis of everything, sprawled across the ground and winding in and around society. The advances in music are shown aswell, from woodwork instruments to technologically advanced recorders, synthesizers etc. Music has changed so much with time, and continues to do so constantly.
