Your brain is already a musical mastermind

People who don't know anything about how music works hear amazing beautiful masterpieces that they never heard before when they take a very powerful psychedelic drug. That is their brains creating these amazing beautiful masterpieces based upon the musical information that these people have absorbed from the songs of other musical artists. Therefore, this says that you can create the greatest songs in your own mind without having studied up on music theory or anything.

I believe I have created the next greatest Michael Jackson songs in my own head since I have listened to his music. His musical information has become absorbed by my brain and, based upon that informational database, I was able to channel deep within my highly creative abilities and create whole new songs by MJ which are just as great and just as powerful as any of his other songs.

It is like learning the English language. Your brain absorbs all the information and then you are able to create paragraphs and sentences. However, in order to bring these songs into the real world, I have to put actual studying and learning in how to compose since I don't know anything about how music works right now. Hopefully, I will fully achieve my composing dream and get to share all these great masterpieces I hear in my head.

This clearly says that our brains already have the capacity to create great musical masterpieces in our own heads even without having any knowledge of music theory or how music works. You just need the creative ability to utilize that capacity in such a way that you are able to create truly great music in your mind.

Interesting, my thoughts are the music comes from the brain. It would be the equivalent to the programing language of a computer. The rhythm the notes, the scales all make for a wonderfully complex language. Some of us can understand as see it in the mind and then transpose it for the world. Did you know even babies less then 6 months of age will react to the notes or scales of a song being wrong?

[quote ] . . . to create based on information it already has[/quote] It's not really creating as much as it is mirroring what you know / heard / saw. Someone in Zimbabwe is not going to compose, in their head on psychotropics drugs, a period piece from the Renaissance era.

There is no 'wrong' in music / scales . . . what would be 'wrong' and why?
 
Regarding music I feel that the mind automatic expands what it has heard before. It's definitely the kind of art where we can feel more an "automatism", an "unconscious" approach, an "inspiration"...

Sometimes my brain has the same song going through my head, over and over. A lot of times, it's not even a good song.

This kind of situation tends to happen with the worst. Always.
There's even a kind of technical study about it, to compose propaganda "jingles" - how most annoying, and gummy, the better.
