The Art of Expression

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." -Victor Hugo
Arguably the most creative form of expression to exist in this world, music is an element recognized and understood by every single inhabitant on this planet. From the beginning of time to the Imaginary Future, music has been and will continue to be (cliché yet truthfully) a "universal language."

As a teenager whose best friend (well, one of them) is a piano, I am an avid listener and creator of music. Music has become more than just a pleasant tune, melody line, or bass drop to my ears; it has become a Life Pursuit. It doesn't matter whether or not we pursue music as a professional career - music will accompany us all throughout life. Music will be heard at some point within the 24 hours of each day, and music will accompany our soul to its resting place after death, as our favorite songs play at our Funeral(s). Music has been played before our birth and it will continue to be heard after our death.

The art of expression is eternal. 

Like Victor Hugo stated, it is "impossible to be silent" in this world with music around, for the fact that it expresses every human emotion possible in diverse structures, key signatures, instruments... The list goes on. 

I want you to enjoy the gift of sound and the absence of silence through music. I know this sounds cliché, but sometimes, I like to Imagine what this world would have been without music. Try and think about that. You will learn to truly appreciate this Fruit of human strife to create artistic expression through sound.

Like my fellow creators, I am so excited to share all kinds of music with you. (Feel free to share your tastes with us!) We here at Mousa believe that this blog provides an excellent opportunity for us all to grow in terms of diversifying our taste in and appreciating more music.

Most of all, however, we hope to simply make you happy and treat you with the best multiple eargasms ever.

All the best,
Jee
