Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

I agree that everybody has their own musical taste. And I think it's all good because music of all types "soothes the soul."

@audio-b-dog - Very true, though my soul needs more energizing than soothing! 

I agree that everybody has their own musical taste. And I think it’s all good because music of all types "soothes the soul."

This is a common place true fact nobody can contest...

 All poetry and all music soothe the soul...

But how this fact is supposed to contradict my point about the "spiritual depth" of some musical pieces in all cultures and styles ?

 The fact that i used Scriabin, an important composer, does not means i imposed my taste; i explained why i use him to describe the abyss between tonal music , atonal music and a genius who discover a third region where to live..

 When we discuss we must be of good faith and dont use someone post to return it against him as "his taste"  dictatorship instead of understanding what is the point of his argument...

If we dont understand something we must have the humility to say it and not killing the messenger ...

The fact that this "spiritual depth" in some music pieces is linked to "timbre" perception by our body and his relation to musical time as not measurable, is my main point  to judge musicianship...

Is this means that i impose Scriabin or Ali Akbar Khan taste ?

No.... If you are of good faith ...

I think maybe we should try to define "soul" and "spiritual depth," especially regarding music. I have some very definite and unusual ideas, so I won't begin. They would throw us into a different solar system. But I will go after you do.

I speak for nobody but me, but I think what most people would think of as 'souls' don't exist. I don't believe in any kind of afterlife/afterdeath, other than as recycled atoms. The music of the spheres!

'Spiritual depth' I perceive as conscience. But everybody has their own definitions, I reckon.
