Music to Fill "The Gap"

In every class so far this essence of the gap has been brought up in conversation. I thought the idea we talked about the other day was quite intriguing. The idea that we choose art to fill in the gap that exists between the experiences we have is a concept that I feel truly relates to the modern and postmodern culture. I viewed our discussion the other day as something that we can all relate to. For instance, art in the form of music is a way to heal a person with a broken heart. The time period between the initial break up and the time it takes until the person meets someone new can be filled with the musical form of art and be used to heal the rough experience. It connects to modern and postmodern culture because we have been using music to fill the gap for years. Also the concept of music is a timeless form of art that can be heard and replayed and copied and changed to create some new form of music, which ultimately could fall under the category of postmodernism. In the quote, “Artists and writers need to be assigned the task of healing the community” I feel that in our culture and our world, everyone is assigned a task to do something. And through the feelings of finding our passion we continue to contribute to the postmodern and modern culture.
