mapping music


The first thing that comes to mind when i think of mapping music is the different type of jazz music during the harlem renaissance of the 1920's. it was a very popular era in time for many jazz musicians with all the speak easies and the prohibition of that time. The music spoke for the people and how they were feeling about the time and the things that were happening, this almost gave you a sense as to where they have been where they came from, where they are and where they are headed almost like making a map of thier journey. The words that the musicians had used in thier words were found more powerful than anything else. It gave you a true sense of who they truly were, this can easily relate to a map because it maps show you where you are, where you need to go if you have a destination,how you should go about getting there and gives you a great sense of direction on how to get there and what routes to take.
