In the last few years, stories came out about the US Military using music as a method of torture/interrogation. Having to listen to Madonna over and over would be enough to make me confess to anything. What if they were Madonna fugues? I'd still bite on the cyanide.
All theory, dear friend, is grey, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.

Now that Ram's Horns are no longer fashionable it is so difficult to choose appropriate music to accompany a good genocide.
The Nazis used Wagner for that purpose. They also used Jewish folk songs. They forced Jewish prisoners in the concentration camps to sing particularly popular folk songs while laboring to death. Of course, the Nazis claimed that it was to boost morale, but the opposite was really their intention. The Jews knew this, and they changed the lyrics of some of their songs to reflect it. For example, in one song, "Yidl with your fiddle, Moyshe with your bass, play me a little song, in the middle of the street" became "Yidl with your fidde, Moyshe with your bass, play me a little song; they're taking us to the gas" (the Yiddish word for "street" is almost identical to the word for "gas"). In another song, "Under the little green trees, little Shlomos and Moshes are playing" was changed to "Under the little Polish trees, no more Shlomos and Moshes are playing."

space between notes
(I'm sure i read that somewhere--music wasn't notes, but the space between notes. I'm not really sure what it means, though)

music cannot be described in any words. They are too trivial, too small to make its meaning accurate. Even poets who put words so beautifully feels that what they say about music is just a mere void of sth they want to catch, put into language frames but what evaporates within a second
