How can we associate a musical act with an image? A few years before, I heard the sound of a cello and I could imagine a cello. I was even forced to see it because it was there. But this situation changed drastically. Now it's not easy to determine what is made in the computer and what is not. How is it possible to make today a link between a determinated timbre and a "cognitive image"? Musical perception and visual perception work usually together. People tend to associate faces and voice inflections.
I should say that today the sinthesized sound is an important emotional vehicle in pop music. What emotional value is expressed in those fake cellos that are used in cumbia and reggaetón music? We could take a step further and ask ourselves: what is the relationship between the fonological and the semiotical aspects of musical language? What does timbre means and what emotions does it deliver in relationship with the image of it?
