Spreading Peace and Unity in the World by Uniting Cultures Through the Use of Art and Music
Spreading Peace and Unity in the World by Uniting Cultures Through the Use of Art and Music
In the end I guess art is what you make of it. Art can be simple or complex. It can tell a story or convey ideas. It can even simply express an emotion. Art doesn't in the end really need to be anything, and in fact it may just simply be. As a musician I have always enjoyed combining different styles of music. I try as hard as I can to learn everything I can about the subject, and engulf myself with it. I personally don't understand individuals that spend their whole lives adopting a single style of music and ignore the rest, or brush it off as uninteresting or stupid. I just can't boggle my mind around people who only learn so much then say, "Well I guess that's good enough." It seems that one would soon become bored and give up. After all there is just so much to learn. There's a whole world of music out there, from Rock to Bebop to Classical to Romanian Gypsy music you name it. Once learned, why not combine those styles together to form a new style? By doing so, you create a true unity of culture. After all, doesn't art imitate life? If so, given the extraordinary amount of experience one has in life, a single style of music can't possibly express it all. As a musician, my hope is to explore music as deeply as I can and learn as many contrasting styles as I possibly can, and fuse them together as a symbol of peace. After all, these cultures aren't all that different. Why shouldn't they coexist? What better way to create unity than through the one thing all cultures share… art.
