Join me on this journey as we uncover the artistry behind creating immersive and emotionally captivating experiences through music.
When we watch a gripping movie or immerse ourselves in a captivating video game, the accompanying soundtrack often plays a pivotal role in shaping our emotions. The music serves as a powerful tool, setting the rhythm for these experiences by alternating between moments of tension and relaxation. It breathes life into every scene and sequence, enhancing our connection to the narrative.
The skill of a composer lies in their ability to deftly balance these emotional highs and lows. They must know when to introduce change, inject tension to heighten a scene, and allow relaxation to provide space for the audience to absorb the depth of the story.

Everything old is new again. This saying holds true for Art Deco decorating, which originated in the 1920s and 1930s and is currently experiencing a resurgence in various forms of interior decor. Art Deco draws much of its styling from the popular art movements of the time, Cubism and Futurism. Cubism, led by renowned artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, involved breaking up objects in a painting and reassembling them in an abstract way. Futurism, which started in Italy, emphasized industry and technology and their impact on the world. Now that we have some background on Art Deco, how can you apply its design principles when decorating your home?
Common motifs in Art Deco pieces include zigzags and geometric shapes with bold patterns. Typical materials used in this style of decor are aluminum, lacquered wood with inlay, and stainless steel. Bold colors are essential for achieving this look in a room. Using neutrals for walls provides a clean palette to add splashes of color. Thin stenciling on walls in corners or near the ceiling can make a nice accent to neutral walls. Rag rolling and stippling were also common painting techniques during that era and can enhance this look.
