Subjective projection of emotion is an absurd imposition on works of art.
Yet music evokes nostalgia, particularly that of time, place, and personal experience.
Sound compositions designed to enhance atmosphere and state of mind are not contrived to bring about sentimental effects. It is not "the moment" that is created or captured through art, but rather the perceptivity it evokes or restores. This is art formed by aural imagery in the quest for heightened awareness-- elevation of mind and spirit-- not self-expression, cultural criticism, or political activism.
