| Abstract | This creative nonfiction thesis is an attempt to create a conversation between personal and collective truths. All four of the essays share the subject of music: one focusing on a band’s strange performance, another on an artist and his album, another on a cover band’s live show, and the last on an unusual hypothetical instrument. I believe our enjoyment of certain music and distaste for other music is more subjective than we usually care to admit; we enjoy songs not just because of quality but also because of deep personal connections. Each of the essays explores what it looks like to discuss music in personal terms. In varying degrees, they all use music as a starting point into further explorations of conditions we confront when we exist, like anxiety, self-exploration, and nostalgia. |
