1. Global impacts
„The 9/11, a global trauma!“
When the two Twin Towers got destroyed by two kidnapped planes, not only the USA, but the whole world was shocked.
On that day about 3000 people died, and thousands more had and still have to deal with their losses and fears.
„After the 9/11 everything has changed – nothing is the way it used to be!“ – you could hear and read this statement everywhere, the whole world was serverly consternated.
In the next months after the terrorist attacks, artists from all kinds of genres tried to work through the emotions and fears of the people. Whether movies, pictures or music, everybody tried to find a way to understand this happening and to help to comfort all relevant people. With this work I will try to explain the meaning of music according to the rehabilitation of the 9/11.
