Music is known to be associated with mental imagery and visual experiences. When you listen to classical music, for instance, you can imagine a certain scene or a mood. Certain musical passages evoke certain feelings and emotions. I get a lot of this kind of feedback on the music I compose from many fans, such as ‘Here at Last’ “…feels like it’s Christmas and snow is everywhere”, or ‘Chloe’s Ballet’ “…is like I am skating in central square with a bag of presents on my back”, or “Until We meet Again’ “…feels like 2 lovers bidding a sad farewell”, etc..
Some listeners have a great imaginative mind and experience this visual association more than others. It takes practice, but the rewards are stunning.
Just close your eyes, listen to the music, explore the first thing you see, and let that sonorous image develop. Let the music guide you into that secret inner world. What you are exploring is actually nothing but yourself. Soon you will come closer to answer that eternal mystery question: “Who You Are?”
