Is music only sound? This is something very speculative. When we listen to music, does it matter if we also ‘see’ music? Is the visual aspect more important than the audio? It sounds very strange really. Especially if we try to look at how we consume music. It is hard to just listen to music as I typically use my cell phone. And there is the video that goes with it. However, I also like to listen to music while driving. That is not the video as well – trust me. So let us turn to science. This is from an article I found here Quote: In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Chia-Jung Tsay had participants predict the winners of musical competitions based on recordings – some audio-only, some videos with audio, and some silent videos. The results were surprising: Participants who saw videos, even without sound, were able to identify the winners at a significantly higher rate than those who only listened to the music.
