Sound - music - culture: space-time reflection

The article presents reflections on the metaphysics of music, first of all, by posing the eternal question, which is difficult to answer: "What is music?"; Why is it, along with literature, painting, religious creativity, always at the boundary of acute socio-cultural discussions, becoming a stumbling block in endless disputes about the meaning of being? In this series, the definitions of music are clearly read by thinkers and musicians. The methodology of the “sphere of sound-music” concept is essentially as universal as the sphere of culture and religion; that is why scientists and theosophists of antiquity and the Middle Ages often used music as a phenomenon to explain the world order and the complex mechanisms of the human soul. Music in all its aspects, therefore, has already been recognized for many centuries as something exceptionally suitable for building models that help to understand areas no less material than itself. The author comes to the conclusion that in people gifted with exceptional creative impulsiveness, inquisitiveness, volitional struggle means one of the important properties of his work. Pulsating feelings and thought of the creator, passion, emotionality, volitional aspirations give rise to a certain style of musical thinking, individual in its manifestations, but based on the main spiritual and creative foundations of the time. Not an individual, but rather a confessional, intimate-personal aspect of the confessional expresses a special symbolic dominant of culture and is especially clearly manifested in music.
