off road pictures question by Mina: Has a classical piece ever induced any extremely vivid pictures or circumstances in your mind?
Hello, everyone…

I was just browsing Youtube and came along a Scriabin Impromptu I hadn’t heard before. I closed my eyes and listened, and along came the most intense and distinct scenario in my head. I won’t go into all of the details, as I tend to babble on when it comes to describing things, but the main theme of this ‘vision’ was a girl in a black hood walking down a road. She was carrying flowers and had tears in her eyes, but was holding them back calmly. She turned, entered a cemetery, and walked towards a gravestone. Then, right at about 1:25 in the video where he breaks out into that distressful, building tone, the girl burst into tears as she read the name on the grave, and then sat there, crying, and remembering, for the rest of the piece.

Now, I know that this is probably not what Scriabin had in mind when writing this, but the whole scenario was so vivid! It’s odd – I do very often feel emotion in a piece, and sometimes get ideas and pictures floating into my head when I’m listening. But, such a distinct vision hasn’t really happened before! There is a link to the piece below, do you guys get any images when listening to it as well? What feeling does this piece evoke in you?

Scriabin – Impromptu Op. 12, No. 2

Even if you don’t feel emotion for this piece, has any other piece gotten a reaction from you like this piece did from me?

Also, do you think the vision was a direct induction from the piece, or simply the result of a wandering/daydreaming mind while listening to it? I’m leaning towards the latter, as I’ve been doing some creative writing lately, but I still just can’t get over how vivid this scenario was! Please share your thoughts and experiences, if you wish?

Take care,
Mina

It should be found pretty easily!
Sorry for the inconvenience… but it’s worth it, even if you don’t want to answer the question! Scriabin is so incredible and intense, and this piece is practically candy for the ears!
Thanks everyone for answering! Unfortunately I still have to pack tonight, so I won’t be able to reply to everyone. I’m sorry if you didn’t get a response!

Joshua Haines: That’s really interesting… But I see how you can get that from the piece. Great answer!
Tanya968: I found the whole ‘brain connection’ idea and the medical aspect really interesting… I actually just read a medical book (can’t for the life of me remember the name) and there was this bit on synesthesia, or ‘connected senses.’ It said that indeed, sound can create and be ‘connected’ to images, and vise versa. The book stated that we’re all synesthetic to some degree, so maybe that explains the things you saw/heard? I have to read up more on that!
Alberich: That’s what makes classical music so beautiful – its connects to our emotions, with only sound, on a level that nothing else does. I think you’re right when you say I simply must have been daydreaming, sometimes I forget I’m still a teenager! As for my affinity with Scriabin, I think it might be a phase. Although I’ll always appreciate him, I am going through a ‘religious change’ period in my life and am fascinated at the religious influences in his work. I have been scanning the bookstores for a biography on him, but none seem to have any… I might have to order online. Ah well, it’s worth it for music Thanks for your answer!
Grim Fandango:
Hahaha… unclean. Well, you’ll have to put up for the dirtiness for a while, I’m afraid… I just started here!
Your vision was so detailed… that’s pretty amazing! And the stamp thing made me smile. Thank you!
Petr B:
Even if you do feel as ‘the odd one out,’ I do kind of see where you’re coming from. The phrase that popped into my head was ‘A Pure Listener’ – someone who hears and sees only what is there… if that makes any sense? I’m not sure… my old teacher always said that I was like a messy eater mixing foods on their plate – I got my music in my art, and my art in my writing, and my writing in my music… I guess you’re more of a ‘neat eater’? Thanks for your answer!

What about the shoes you are currently wearing? You surely didn’t travel there barefoot… Or go buy a pair, you can get cute cheap flats at Target. They are only $ 20, it’s worth it.

off road pictures question by Quagmire: THIS CREEPY OLD MAN HAS PICTURES OF ME WHAT DO I DO?
This man is 43, and I am 20. He manipulted me and broke up my family because he was “romantic” and tried to be everything my boyfriend was not. He got really controlling, tried to get me pregnant ASAP and took my cell phone away and wouldn’t let me go on Facebook. He moved in with me and wouldn’t even let me go to the bathroom alone. He works from home so he would take me with him to an office once a week or so and the rest he spend watching my every move. One day over a month ago he went to his apartment to quickly grab something and I snuck out and ran down the road for help, and I never saw him again. He has very close up zoomed-in pictures of my face in a seperate album on his Facebook and refuses to take it off. He also has it on his desktop background and told me he looks at it all day every day. WHAT DO I DO??

Answer by hello
go to a police station and dont leave untill they help. he basically kidnapped you, if he wouldnt let you leave and you had to run away and scream for help.

also if he made you sleep with him thats rape.

get the guy locked up.

off road pictures question by Joe: Some guy just drove by my house and took pictures…?
I am kind of freaked out by this, especially since I almost felt drawn to the window when I saw him. I heard the phone ring so I put down my guitar, went up, saw it was somebody I didn’t want to talk to (lol) and then just felt like looking out the window and seeing how the weather was. And as I did this, I noticed right next to my driveway this guy. I couldn’t get a decent view of him unfortunately, but I can definitely confirm that he was a middle-aged man (40s or 50s). He was driving a very nice looking new car – looked like a newer version of a Corolla. So anyways, he took pictures for a second and then drove away – he might have seen me and driven off. I am kind of scared right now. The one thing that REALLY bothers me, too, is that stopping to take pictures on my street is a very committed idea, simply because it is an extremely busy road and you have to have a lot of confidence to stop in the middle and start taking pictures. Also, the house is new. What should I do?

He was probably a real estate agent or something. Don’t worry.

Call the police if you think he was a threat.

off road pictures question by <3: Do you think my car is totaled? [pictures].?
Okay
I was in a car accident this morning (Halloween morning). It was my fault, I rear-ended a lady going through a toll booth who looked like she was moving while the sun reflected off her lights, I couldn’t see her brake lights. By the time I noticed she was stopped, it was too late. I was going about 40-45 mph. I drive a ’05 Jeep Liberty Sport and it’s pretty tore up..

I just don’t know..
BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY.
As you can see the bumper is pretty much destroyed and my driver’s side wheel well has fallen off. I smashed the grill in but you can’t really see it. The picture doesn’t really do the damage justice. I don’t know if the frame has an damage to it or not, I have no idea.. I’m kinda car dumb.. lol.
Also, after the accident I had a massive amount of fluids leaking from the front of my car, pretty much like a water fall. Both red and clear in color. It was EVERYWHERE on the road. It wasn’t drivable or anything they towed it back to my house. My mom thinks I busted a bunch of stuff. The insurance company hasn’t seen it yet but they’ve talked to my mom and said it would probably get totaled. Just want some opinions?

Thank youuu!
Me and the person I hit were okay.
My brother was in the car and he is okay too.

See thats the thing. I don’t know if anything mechanical is damaged, but I guess it would be hard for you guys to determine that on here lol. Just wanted a general opinion, they’re coming for it on monday.
I know I know..
but honestly she was at the tollbooth way before I was, I didn’t see her exit, and I figured she was driving through. She wasn’t at a complete stop. Just an unfortunate situation…

And I know why the airbags deployed but I have heard certain people say that air bags deploying increases chances of the car being totaled.
yeah the hood is crumpled up just a bit too..

Answer by Tracker
Hard to say. I’d need to look at it in person, pop the hood and look @ engine, crawl under & check out the damage, etc. to make a better determination. Wait to see the adjuster first.
