Rec'd on 💭 ABSTRACT QUESTION FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN BOTH VISUAL ART AND MUSIC

i’m not sure this is eloquent but i think rhythm = line, because its like the bones of a song. the rest happens within the confines of the rhythm melody = color because it’s what brings the song to life, its the subject of the song. it colors it tone = light because the tone of sounds and instruments defines how the melody is being heard and contextualized

ok love this one. i think i agree about rhythm especially. i think of percussion as a container for a song and the bass or whatever as the lid or “limits”, if that makes sense. i think line functions in a similar way and the confines of the canvas is part of that.

TEMPO, INSTUMENTS, AND LYRICS

As a complete non musician (barring two years of high school viola) with many music friends these are my uneducated two cents. I think these things create the vibe and signature of an artist or composer.
Instruments kinda translates to color, the palette you're working with. Tempo sets the vibe, lighting. Lyrics are not always there of course but I feel like they can drastically change vibe so I would include it but I'm sure some people would not.

CHORDS, ROOT AND RHYTHM

Chords direct the emotion a song is trying to convey. Root notes of the chords sort of bring a song together? Idk how to explain that Rhythm is self explanatory
Ofc it goes a lot deeper than this, as does painting and stuff. If anyone is interested in music theory, y'all can check out Adam Neely on youtube
