statement of interest
In my self-directed music study, I am particularly interested in Gothic style of music. I found that this kind of music has specific themes. It presents a romantic idea and theme in the darker style which is very emotional. For the example, using specific tone of sound with specific music instrument. Even the traditional style has changed over the time, its themes remain. As music has developed based on an existed style throughout the time, I would like to do a research and analysis of how Gothic music inspires modern music in nowadays. To conclude, I will make an analysis about Gothic music’s effects within the 4th quarter of my 12th grade as my self-directed project.

Reflection
In this project, I have researched about the deep and creative history of Gothic style music. It has long history since the 19th century in England. I found that the development of the music instruments and techniques using in this genre are unpredictable and full of creativity. I compared the original form of Gothic music in the past with modern music that is popular in nowadays. It is obvious that the modern music is inspired by Gothic music, both the rhythm and the theme. For the example, the lyrics which is very obvious.
I found that the hardest thing in researching is find a difference between Gothic music and Gothic rock music. However, it is quite same.
I found that there is a surprising amount of similarities between traditional gothic music and the modern music. The exact one is the theme. Romantic and Supernatural themes are found everywhere throughout the history. I think it is a classic theme. Another factor is an instrument. It has developed continuously. However, the main intrument remains. For the example, guitar, bass, and drum. The music video is also created according to the gothic theme. Most of modern music video includes dark coloured environment or monochrome colour.
