Feel Your Music
I remember the first time I really felt music.
Sitting in the back of my friend's red Jeep Wrangler, the sun was bright and warm. He started up the engine, even though he barely knew how to drive a standard transmission, and flipped on the CD player. Back then, having a CD player was quite the statement. Most cars still only had radios and tape decks. Some had CD players, and even fewer had a full-fledged sound system including subwoofers. Yes, I'm trying to sound like my grandpa here. Back when I was a kid...
Anyway, when he put Green Day in the deck and pushed up the volume, I was pretty impressed that instead of listening to the music, I was feeling it. The music was basically shooting through my innards, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Well, the coolest thing ever next to Scott's Marithe & Francois Girbaud jean overalls and braided leather belt with the classic "loop and swish."
I'm sure you know how it feels. Every note the bass player hits, and each kick of the drums, it's like having a string tied around the guts just behind your xiphoid process (xiphoid process: that little dangling bone thing at the bottom of your sternum; homologous to the uvula: the little dangling thing at the back of your throat), and every time those notes blast out of the speakers, somebody yanks that string and your entrails rumble in delight.
Since then, I've felt my music over and over, and I've felt it more intense-- but each time, the feeling is the same. And that feeling is part of what we're trying to accomplish at PowerPlay Productions. Because whether you're planning a school dance, outdoor movie, or you need sound reinforcement for your band, when your insides are dancing, it makes it just that much easier for your outsides to dance as well.
