“Music is extremely important, especially in times of Corona”

Lockdown, exit restrictions and closings – the Corona period is a very difficult phase of life for most people. But even if Corona has put many plans and wishes in the sand, some people have been able to discover a whole new side of themselves through the extra time at home.

Being at home all the time motivated many people to get to know themselves a little better and to be creative. While there was more time available again for old hobbies, many people became active, especially in the musical field.

Music teacher Kstner from Bamberg: “Right now, music is particularly important for people”

Fritz Kstner, A music teacher and music education student from Bamberg has also clearly noticed this phenomenon: “Overall, more and more people are turning to music to express themselves. I notice this very strongly in my environment. Many people buy a guitar or other instruments.” The music teacher is certain that musical creation has become a real outlet that many people use to deal with the current situation.

“I think music is particularly important for people now in the lockdown period. Since many ways of interaction and communication are currently restricted, music is the best way to interact with yourself and other people,” Kstner told inFranken .

Researchers are certain: Music is a universal language that everyone understands

For many people, music is much more than just a hobby. Samuel More of the Harvard University in Cambridge examined how music is comparable in different cultures. The researchers found that music is a universal language that is spoken across cultures. Even at the beginning of the lockdown period, people made music from their windows or balconies to give a signal not to be alone. Music is therefore an important part of human coexistence and a component of every culture itself. Surprisingly: how wissenschaft.de communicates, the differences within one culture are usually greater than between different ones.

During its lockdown period, Franconia also produced its own line of musical artists. And even if they usually differ greatly in their styles, they all found a way to express themselves through music. Above all, everything is currently present Hip-Hop Musicwhich has long since ceased to function only as a youth culture. Because in 2021 it’s hip-hop more versatile than ever before and presents itself with an unbelievable number of facets as enormously attractive for a large number of people. This also intersects with the assumption of the researcher Mehr, who found that the musical differences within a culture are usually greater than between different cultures themselves.

Franconian artists, for whom Corona was by no means a creative crisis, were, for example, the Bamberg rappers Prince Polo, Pino Pacino and Berex. The musicians who let their creativity run free in German rap know exactly how to use the lockdown time for themselves. The young musicians mainly film musically Emotions and feelings. “I wrap up my feelings and want to bring them closer to the listeners through the music. Maybe it will help and I will be responsible for creating a good atmosphere.”, Prince Polo said in an interview with inFranken.de.

But even artists who were active long before Corona have now picked up again. So has the Bamberg rap artist Dizzlwho skillfully combines singing with rap and has meanwhile become for more than 21 years Writes texts, one completely within the lockdown time new EP produced. He himself asserts that Franconia has a lot to offer musically and that he sees a lot of potential in young artists. “There is a lot of musical talent and potential here. I would like to see people network a little more intensively with one another. Certainly interesting things would emerge,” said Dizzl.

Music as an outlet to communicate with each other

In Nrnberg Another interesting group of artists has come together. The Spaceboys “SP4CE8OY2“consisting of a total of 4 members between the ages of 18 and 20 years produce English rap. In a conversation with inFranken.de the artists confirm that music has become an important cornerstone for them to immerse themselves in another world.

But not only in the area of ​​rap has a lot happened during the lockdown period. Likewise coming from Bambergdescribes the Dj STKLA the Corona time as very difficult but important phase: “At first you noticed that the people were really motivated and wanted to use the time at home, but at some point that flattened out pretty quickly.” Even in the first lockdown, the DJ regularly played via live stream, even with the support of several friends. “Playing as a DJ is something else than producing your own music. DJing lives from the interaction and the return of the audience. Of course you’ve tried something new and stayed active, but it’s completely different from when you did you really interact with people directly. “

Djane Senaria from Nuremberg: “We are returning to our human existence – to art!”

The 23-year-old sees it similarly DJane Senaria from Nuremberg. “You are often demotivated because you always have the same everyday life, but by and large you try to carry on.” The young artist welcomes the fact that more and more young people have started to act creatively. “In general, it is revolutionary that everyone should do something creative, because we are returning to our human existence. Art! “

The lockdown time has therefore not generally had a bad effect on young people – even myself as the author of this text – I admit that the additional time that has helped me to take time for things by not doing other leisure activities that found no space in everyday life. The fact is that the pandemic definitely didn’t make life easier. Nevertheless, this could not slow down the thirst for action of creative minds. Thus, in addition to the severe restrictions, the corona pandemic also presents itself as an opportunity to find yourself again. And as a springboard for many people to develop their creative potential.

“It is also true that many people had to get to know themselves again a long time ago through their time at home. That is definitely a good thing. Because many no longer knew that they actually like to sing or paint, for example. Even if Corona currently forces many cultural offerings to its knees, the growing hunger for creation of many people has set the course to be able to revive them. ” , says Kstner.
