Do you know if there are parallels between landscape design and music? Can you give any resouces that prove it

Kinda new at this but here I go...\nAs a landscape architecture and music major myself I found that both involve highly creative detail oriented shorter projects that in the end contribute to creating something much bigger, an environment or atmosphere for people to be alive in. Both music and landscaping alters people's emotions and both have problem-solving and eye/ear 'manipulating' aspects involved... both are arts that are perhaps looked down to as the 'other ones' (architecture -> landscape architecture and visual arts-> performing arts) Does that help? =]

Hmmm.  I vaguely remember a folk artist who believed that he was directed by G-d to build quite a bit of art depicting biblical themes, especially apocalyptic art.  Digging about a bit found the article referenced below.  I can't be sure that this is the artist you're thinking of, but it's still worth checking out.

Some classical music have an extra ordinary effect on me. I have to stop what I'm doing and listen to it.  I feel it  filling up my body it's so beauty.  I don't know why music has that effect on humans.  There must be a scientific reason.

Yeah, i know some hard rock that uses pianos and violins... not like some gay emo crap but some good stuff, My Dying Bride is a good example of the violin, check out their 'The Angel and the Dark River' album. very very good album!

Yes. And lakes, land masses, nay number of thing. (The larger the object the greater the effect, the less viscous the object the greater the effect.)\n\nLots of details at source below.

Unequivocally, yes.  Hitler's obsession with Wagner's operas was a very good example of this. Their connection and campaign for Nationalist art, as well as anti-semitic propaganda is fairly well documented.  \n\nAnyway...  There are a lot of people in the world who don't believe that music is or should be used as propaganda, but since so many aspects of music imitate life (as all forms of art have been known to do) this is a circumstance which cannot be avoided.  That fact has it's benefits and its drawbacks.  \n\nI personally believe that music is a very powerful form of propaganda as well as artistic expression.  What better way to ensure that a message travels far and wide and is heard by an incredibly large audience - regardless of whether or not they intended to absorb that message?  Music is extremely portable, especailly in this day and age.  Think about all the things you do in a day - would music prevent you from doing any of them?  I believe that if an artist wanted to express something, it'd travel much faster as music than say, that same 'message' on display at a museum exhibit behind velvet ropes.  \n\nSometimes it's not the message, it's the medium used to 'deliver' the message.

Math is used in music everywhere. A lot of the theory behind music deals with math. My theory professor in college was big into using math-like equations to solve theory problems. It can be used in the circle of fiths, finding intervals, chord progressions. About anything! A more recent math/music related thing is Schoenberg's 12 tone system. He uses math and notes to come up with all the different ways to arrange the 12 different notes on the keyboard. You can create a whole matrix just using a certain progression of notes. It's really interesting! To find more information try looking in some college music theory books. Or contact a theory professor at a local college! They could give you lots of good examples.

Yes!  Take a look at the following site and listen to the examples through the ages.  You'll need Real player.  Every 50 years or so there are some pretty major developments... harmony, new instruments, the concerto, the symphony, opera, sanatas, rondo form, minimalism, serialism, oratorios, symphonic poems, etc...  When you REALLY get into it, you'll find classical music an amazing journey.  It's very diverse and continues to change and add new sounds and ideas.  Ex. I'm hearing a lot of classic rock style in chamber music latley.  That seems to be one popular "thing" for classical composers now.  Listen to Michael Daugherty and Elvis Schoenberg (Ross Wright) for eaxmaples of this.  Enjoy!\n\nhttp://www.ipl.org/div/mushist/

Yes, I think most people who play musical instruments (esp a stringed one) like classical music since we learned to play using it.  I'll check out the group. Thx!

I believe so. Studies show that music by Mozart helps people to concentrate and think more smarter. Also, hard core metal music supposidly makes people less focused and not concentrate so well. By personal experience, I've noticed that by listening to certain songs and music that are positive and benificial, I am more peaceful and feel good about myself as well as view the world in a good natured way. Hope this helps. =>

Music is created just like art.  Look back, and you will find such old old songs that we still share, appreciate or even remake through the years.  These are to be treasured. And we thank the creators, for setting these songs to life, that at one point in time, we hear and enjoy. Even with todays' technology, the true beauty of good music is not easily created. Copied, yes, distributed, yes, imitated, yes.... but created, no.  I feel this way for many solo singers and groups from many era, eg, U2, Sting, the Beatles, Carpenters and even the simplest tune of twinke star from young Mozart.

The use of invariants to study and understand the world around us is the heart of education! We are biologically determined to have set "templates" in our minds which we use to define objects and ideas, and we then meld, use and make minor modifications to the templates in order to define everything else. Read Pascal Blaise.\n\nInvariantology itself, however, which you yourself define on your webpage (and interesting use of Yahoo! Answers for advertising, btw) as "investigating invariants", is probably best left to university level, or at least advanced secondary school. Younger children instinctively use invariants, as we are neurologically constructed that way, but would have difficulty with the articulation in the way you use it.\n\nAlso, I think there are problems with definition. It's all well and good to say that to experiment on music, all you have to do is "vary the music by aesthetic factors." But look at that for more than a moment, and you are left with significant difficulties in defining, rating, varying, and even agreeing on "aesthetic factors." Is John Cage really more appealing than Debussy? Is Bach more or less "aesthetic" than Schoenberg or Holly Cole?

You need to get to a university library with a music program.  They will have subscriptions to article databases like RILM, Music Index, and IIMP.  There are thousands of articles indexed there.  Also, Google scholar will find some of the articles.  But not like the real thing.
