Because that's what it is, really, frequencies, and rhythms.<br /><br />When I was young, I worked at a mall. I had a customer who was deaf, and we became friends because I was one of the few people who had the patience to take his order by letting him write me a note.<br /><br />One day we were having a conversation (on paper) and I asked him how hard it was for him to not be able to hear music, or the voices of the people he cared about. He put his hand on my throat while we I talked to him.<br /><br />It was kind of embarrassing for me as a teenager, but I swallowed my pride and went through it, and it turned out to be a powerful moment.<br /><br />We lost touch, unfortunately, but he did teach me that there is vibration in all things.<br /><br />I can't write or read to music either. I'm a bit neurotic about it. I can deal with all kinds of other distractions, but not music. It moves me too strongly.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674771134016350625.post-261177835104371282011-10-06T09:27:27.734-04:002011-10-06T09:27:27.734-04:00I'm hopeless at associating music with other p...I'm hopeless at associating music with other people's books (although I love to see what the author has chosen). That being said all of my characters have music that is closely linked to them to the extent that it has often changed them in some way.Helenehttp://www.twitter.com/helene_dunbarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674771134016350625.post-61634073983551415792011-10-06T06:36:46.058-04:002011-10-06T06:36:46.058-04:00Interesting post.

While I usually have music playing in the background, classic r&b mostly, I don't really associate any certain songs with any specific book or character. I can see your point though, the Harry Potter movies have the perfect musical introduction that really fits Harry's character.The Happy Bookerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470714271674260280noreply@blogger.com
