Thoughtful Music

Welcome to Alex Ruis' website.

He hopes you like his music in sound and image. Therefore, you will find music as well as sheet music. Of course, under Thoughtful Music there is additional information about the music and its creator.

Thoughtful Music is the name he proposes for music that, in addition to all kinds of thought constructions and feelings, also takes into account the influence on the psyche that it exerts. Consciously, people experience music very differently. He particularly emphasizes that people should be careful about the obviousness of subordination and superordination in music as in other fields, because nothing has been established about this yet. Possibly, most music, consisting of melodies with accompaniment, supports dictators, oligarchs and other big shots. Maybe a little bit, maybe similar to pollution of our environment, who can tell? Listeners may eventually come to take it for granted that there is a dominant voice, supported only by background voices. Please note in this regard that outside the West there is hardly any contrapuntal (melody with counter melodies) tradition.

Until it is shown to his satisfaction that such an influence does not exist for more than one person, he will spread antidoses syntunes over listeners. So you could also call his approach precautionary music. Just in case and for those who do not like deification of loners and certain groups. Not to mention listeners who don't care as long as it sounds to their satisfaction :-). Although he will not let sound more than 4 voices at a time, he grants the approximately 7 billion people as well as animals and plants their influence on their circumstances and that of their loved ones.
