Background

 

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music-

        Jimi Hendrix

Music is a fundamental part of our evolution; we probably sang before we spoke in syntactically guided sentences. Song is represented across animal worlds; birds and whales produce sounds, though not always melodic to our ears, but still rich in semantically communicative functions. Song is not surprisingly tied to a vast array of semiotics that pervade nature: calling attention to oneself, expanding oneself, selling oneself, deceiving others, reaching out to others and calling on others. The creative capability so inherent in music is a unique human trait.

Music is a core human experience and generative processes reflect cognitive capabilities. Music is often functional because it is something that can promote human well-being by facilitating human contact, human meaning, and human imagination of possibilities, tying it to our social instincts. Cognitive systems also underlie musical performance and sensibilities. Music is one of those things that we do spontaneously, reflecting brain machinery linked to communicative functions, enlarged and diversified across a broad array of human activities

Music is an affectively opulent activity, whether it is being created or consumed. Moreover, music is rich in information processing as we work to appreciate the subtleties of beat, form, melody, and harmony. The affective and intellectual complexity of the musical experience speaks to the underlying neurological structures in place to ensure human appreciation for, and creation of, novel music.

Music makes clear that there is no mind-body separation. The rhythmicity of the brain, along with the development of cognitive capabilities, illustrates clear how inherent music is to our evolutionary and social success. This social link demonstrates that biological and cultural evolution is intertwined in music.

 

  • Museum of Music is a place for human cry, where lost, sacred, elite, general as people from all sort of tastes can gather to listen their deep want.
  • This platform is a place for sensible human as well as a demented body, a bridge between guided and non-guided soul.
  • Museum of music is a string attached for all sort of tunes as a space for all kind of human.

 

Concept

 

Only some genres of music and daily life favorite beats were all I had for my musical expedition. A blind journey towards music ignited my initial ideas solving this project indeed.

After having knowledge about Music, Humanity & our local genres, i tried to emerge that essence into the spaces and surroundings of this platform. Focusing this architecture as a labyrinth of mind-body inseparable phenomenon of music and human, I created the datum- blended with nature and it’s very own sound.

The entry plaza defines the Melapak (starting), the datum defines the Ontora (need to feel) and the note plaza defines the Drhubok (Transition) point of this project.

 The structural study of music guided me to a path where lots of qualities come with a general music. Thus spaces like Rhythm plaza, Beat plaza, Melody Plaza placed around the datum of a visceral experience through the corridor, just like the stuff notations on the musical bar and a grand note plaza completed the want of aesthetics. As -

When I see architecture that moves me, I hear music in my inner ear
