I don’t think there’s an issue with whether or not emotion is expressed (or rather received) as much as whether one is intending to express a specific emotion. For instance, in the studio, when one (well, me) connects two sound together, or sculpts something in a particular way, the focus is on how that sound works in respect to the rest of the sounds around it; not in whether or not it is representative of a certain feeling (other than the feeling that those sounds “fit”). My personal opinion is that the emotional content may come from the emotional state in which the composer resides while those choices are being made.
Sound and form was the intent. Emotional content may (or may not) result.
