Music is the food of the soul because it has the power to transform it since it transmits very diverse and deep emotions to those who listen to it, it tends to mix a lot with visual art since they allow us to explore and experience sensations and ideas from of what we feel, we see in the conceptual art of the artist whether in a live presentation, in his digital or physical work to the point of inspiring us to do or create many things. Emotions are reflected and cause some effect on the senses of the listener due to the emotional bond that exists in the realization and interpretation of a work, whether in music or visual art.
Many times the lyrics tell you something, or the melody of an orchestra, like going to the theater and hearing a phrase in old Spanish, or watching a Tarantino movie, I would say that many of these things make you somehow develop your creativity and take the pencil and make a sketch, create a space, write about something that catches your attention, color something, elaborate a digital illustration, exercise in the best way possible etc. There are many ways in which music can influence you to the extent that it inspires you to do something.
For me music is an extremely crucial aspect in my daily life, music is one of my biggest inspirations to create something, it seems to me that music and visual art are inseparable parts. As soon as something new revolutionary and interesting appears in music, styles, directions, a lot of works of modern artists appear that some are recognized and some are not so recognized, but they represent a big change regarding music and art in different ways in it.
It should be noted that depending on the moment sometimes it can become distracting and I can't start or work. But most of the time I need it to get into that kind of "trance" where I barely notice the world around me and soon forget that the music is there, when a song makes me feel/move, without a doubt, I am more predisposed not only to create or imagine something but everything becomes easier and more understandable. The melodies in a song look for the most incredible way to connect you with many internal sensations, a simple sound of a piano or sample can make you feel, nostalgic, happy, sad or even confused.
Among the artists that I listen to and that truly inspire me to create something are quite inspiring artists, who try to do something different from what is currently in the music scene, artists like Daft Punk, The Artic Monkeys or even Foster The People, but on the other hand there are also others who are quite underrated and many people do not know and still do quite brilliant things focusing much on the musical part composing songs harmonically and lyrically excellent, but without neglecting the visual part and the artist image they want to represent. Creating unforgettable concert experiences with their live visuals, and giving an excellent aesthetic to their studio albums. Below, I will recommend you some.
Porter Robinson
For years the EDM industry has felt and is stagnant only focused on songs formulated with timed compilations and beats, designed to excite people at festivals and clubs. A very generic formula that already tires many people among them "Porter Robinson" .
An American DJ and producer of electronic music who in 2013 felt that the EDM genre did not evolve anymore and was stuck in the same, limited by formulas and rules to people just jumping and going crazy at festivals he felt that his songs failed as EDM as it did not have the most important piece which was the concept "music" itself. So he decided to be true to himself by creating more honest, more sentimental, harmonious and artistic music, music focused on the escape from reality, the beauty in fiction and the alternative, all of this opening a door to creativity, showing influence in Japanese culture and video games.

Another very important aspect is the live experience that this artist provides, is truly impressive vibe that transmits live, achieving the escape from reality with truly original music, placing in their visuals, anime and video games, feeling coarse, beautiful and surreal for the viewer. To summarize this artist is an escape from reality, an opportunity to enter a different world at least for a few minutes, it becomes nostalgic music, something sad and inspiring, and I admire that about him. He has just released his second studio album Nurture.

Madeon
One word to define Madeon's music would be Minimalism combined with electronic music. His style is influenced by genres such as French House and Nu-disco, especially in tune with the French duo "Daft Punk", whom he recognizes as his mentors and teachers. His music is Art in every sense from his logo or the cover of his album to the live performances, he has very clear the concept of his music and his career artist what he wants to be and what he doesn't want to be as an artist, the songs are quite sentimental through their sounds can make you transmit many emotions, in combination with his music videos. His debut album Adventure which is an adventure of emotions as and also tries to take you to an escape from reality. In 2019 he released his second album called Good Faith which its meaning is quite poly semantic, as it has many meanings, you can appreciate interpretations both as sentimental and spiritual relationships.

Their live performances also leave you in shock, their stage is quite unique because it is their logo, with visuals that make your head explode of how great they look, accompanied by very well done mixes with several remixes of their original songs, in short their presentations are perfectly musical, but without neglecting their visuals.

The Midnight
The Midnight Tim McEwan as producer and Tyler Lyle in composition and vocals, Among drum machines, synthesizers, electronic drums and samples characteristic of synthwave, they portray their sound and visual display on stage, within a style so susceptible to playing with color. And the cinematic aesthetic is especially great with the synthesizers, all seasoned with delicious and extremely suggestive saxophone lines, showing their maximum splendor. In 2020 they released their latest studio album titled Monsters in which they make us understand that in some way or another we are connected. We will never be alone as we have stronger connections than broadband.

Finally, it is inspiring to hear people create new and interesting things, and that stimulates my desire to create things of my own, be it visual or musical. Music can inspire me subconsciously, playing in the background while I work, and it can also influence me in very specific ways, if I listen to it intentionally. Sometimes I listen to music that can be directly correlated with something that I am designing. I always listen to music when I work. It's kind of part of the design project in my opinion! It's a great way to shut down "the other world" in my mind while I'm working and helps me focus 110% on the artwork itself.
"Music is the type of art that is closest to tears and memory" - Oscar Wilde

La música es el alimento del alma porque tiene el poder de transformarla ya que transmite emociones muy diversas y profundas a quienes la escuchan, suele mezclarse mucho con el arte visual ya que nos permiten explorar y experimentar sensaciones e ideas a partir de lo que sentimos, vemos en el arte conceptual del artista ya sea en una presentación en vivo, en su obra digital o física al punto de inspirarnos a hacer o crear muchas cosas. Las emociones se reflejan y causan algún efecto en los sentidos del oyente debido al vínculo emocional que existe en la realización e interpretación de una obra, ya sea en la música o en el arte visual.
Muchas veces te dice algo la letra, o la melodía de una orquesta, al igual que ir al teatro y escuchar una frase en español antiguo, o viendo una película de Tarantino, diría que muchas de esas cosas hacen que te alguna forma desarrolles tu creatividad y cojas el lápiz y hagas un boceto, crees algún espacio, escribas sobre algo que te llame la atención, colorear algo, elabores una ilustración digital, te ejercites de la mejor manera posible etc. Son muchas las maneras de que la música te puede llegar a influenciar al grado de que te inspire a hacer algo.
Para mi la música es un aspecto extremadamente crucial en mi vida diaria, la música es una de mis mayores inspiraciones para crear algo, Me parece que la música y el arte visual son partes inseparables. Tan pronto como aparece algo nuevo revolucionario e interesante en la música, los estilos, las direcciones, aparecen una gran cantidad de obras de artistas modernos que algunos son reconocidos y otros no tan reconocidos, pero que representan un gran cambio en lo que respecta a la música y el arte de distintas formas en ella.
Cabe destacar que dependiendo del momento a veces puede llegar a distraerme y no puedo comenzar o trabajar. Pero la gran mayoría de las veces la necesito para entrar en esa especie de "trance" donde apenas noto el mundo que me rodea y pronto olvido que la música está ahí, cuando una canción me hace sentir/emocionar, sin duda, estoy más predispuesto no solo a crear o imaginar algo sino todo se me hace más fácil y más comprensible. Las melodías en una canción buscan la forma más increíble de conectarte con muchas sensaciones internas, un simple sonido de un piano o sample puede hacerte sentir, nostálgico, feliz, triste o hasta confundido.
Entre los artistas que escucho y que me inspiran verdaderamente a crear algo se encuentran artistas, bastantes inspiradores, que tratan de crear algo diferente a lo que esta actualmente en la escena musical, artistas como, Daft Punk, The Artic Monkeys o hasta Foster The People, pero también hay otros que están bastante infravalorados y mucha gente no conoce y que aún así hacen cosas bastante brillantes enfocándose mucho en la parte musical componiendo canciones armónicamente y lirical mente excelentes, pero sin descuidar la parte visual y la imagen artista que quieren representar . Creando experiencias en conciertos inolvidables con sus visuales en vivo, y dando una excelente estética a sus álbumes de estudio. A continuación, recomendare algunos.
Porter Robinson
Hace años que la industria del EDM se siente y está estancada solo centrada en canciones formuladas con compilaciones cronometradas y ritmos, diseñadas para entusiasmar a la gente en festivales y clubes. Una formula muy genérica que ya cansa a muchas personas entre ellos, “Porter Robinson” .
Un DJ y productor estadounidense de música electrónica que en el año 2013 sintió que el género del EDM no evoluciono más y se quedó atrapado en lo mismo, limitado por formulas y reglas a que la gente solo salte y se vuelva loca en festivales el sentía que sus canciones fallaban como EDM ya que no tenía la pieza más importante la cual era el concepto “música” en sí . Por eso el decidió ser sincero con el mismo creando música más honesta, más sentimental armoniosa y artística, música enfocada en el escape de la realidad, la belleza en la ficción y lo alternativo, todo esto abriendo una puerta hacia la creatividad, mostrando influencia en la cultura japonesa y los videojuegos.

Otro de sus aspectos muy importantes es la experiencia en vivo que brinda este artista, es verdaderamente impresionante la vibra que te transmite en vivo, logrando el escape de la realidad con música verdaderamente original, colocando en sus visuales, animes y videojuegos, sintiéndose basto, hermoso y surreal para el espectador. Para resumir este artista es un escape de la realidad, una oportunidad de entrar a un mundo diferente al menos por unos minutos, llega a ser música nostálgica, algo triste e inspiradora, y eso admiro de él.
