My question is, what is its emotional impact and its emotional meaning in the context? How does being in a street parade, church, airport terminal, or at home in your lounge influence your musical experience — its emotional impact and meaning? its emotional impact and meaning? I think its emotional impact and meaning is its emotional impact and [its emotional] meaning. My question is, what is its emotional impact and its emotional meaning in the context? emotional impact says that we have emotional impact, we can cry, tear, laugh, smile... and emotional meaning says that we have emotional meaning, we can feel happy, sad, something like that. It it right?It might be argued that the particularities of place are central to understanding music. Outsiders might enjoy hearing or attempting to perform various musics, but presumably the experiences and sentiments provoked will be rather different. Maybe everybody’s relationship to place is important, if not critical, to his or her experience of music — whatever its form. How does being in a street parade, church, airport terminal, or at home in your lounge influence your musical experience — its emotional impact and meaning? Would all musics be equally effective, or environmentally “at home,” in these places? Is it mere coincidence that music with an electronically produced repetitive beat is the product of modern urban environments, where machines and cars are ubiquitous? To argue this in terms of a simple causal relationship would be ridiculously naive, but to entirely discount acoustic ecology would also seem unwise.
