Peer to peer återkoppling av musikskapande i BandLab.docx

Using BandLab: Emotions triggered by different instruments

• In general, live instruments are warm and electronic instruments are mostly cold and more melancholic.
• A piano can be mellow and can represent contentment or, from another angle, romance. 
• French horns represent nobility, accomplishment, loneliness, and solitude. 
• The trumpet, trombone, and other brass instruments represent excitement and energy. 
• The violin and other string instruments represent cold, sadness, tranquility, sympathy, fragility, and joy (Vivaldi’s “Spring” for instance). 
• A distorted guitar represents power, aggression, and strength, while a “clean” electric guitar is used to symbolize anguish and solitude. 
• An acoustic guitar means humility and contentment. 
• A pipe organ represents power, fury, rage, and overwhelming joy (as in various Bach compositions). 
• A square-wave synth (like the one used in Pink Floyd’s "Welcome to the Machine") means complexity, chaos, speed, and sophistication. 
• A marimba represents happy music and, finally, a solo cello equals sadness.
