Okay, so when you hear a song, let’s say In the Hall of the Mountain King – it’s a little bit spooky, a little bit creepy-crawly.
Does the music sound this way, and we feel this way because of the inherent sounds themselves? Or have the particular instrument/note combinations been so frequently used for spooky situations that we now automatically associate it as spooky music?
The same can be said for anything really, ‘space’ music, romantic music, sad music. Which way round is the association?

I believe music came first. The whole gothic sounds that are in say Skyrim and such were once a genre people listened to in church and festivals and such. Then today we feel freaked out. One day Tupac may be the battle music for a dragon fight
It was associated with the era it was in. Gothic and ruins hand in hand. Space in the 70s trying to imagine what the future thought would be cool. It’s just what we imagine each sound deserves. I guess that goes there
