Eyes Closed, Ears Open - Is Music More Audio Than Visual?

Follow OBM on Twitter and Instagram - In this episode of the Obsessed by Music podcast, I explore the question of whether music is primarily an audio medium. I reflect on my own habit of dedicating time each week to simply listen to music without any other distractions, as opposed to streaming music on a phone, which is basically a distraction-filled device. I argue that music is primarily an audio medium, but that visual elements like album art can enhance the experience of listening to music. Even so, I suggest that you should try closing your eyes while listening to music in order to deepen the experience - without any distracting visual stimulus. Ultimately, music is a remarkable medium that can elevate us, heal us and enrich our lives, and it can do all of that through sound waves alone. Hosted on Acast.
