Aeon Essays: It’s easy to think about music as just a sequence of sounds – recorded and encoded in a Spotify stream, these days, but still: an acoustic phenomenon that we respond to because of how it sounds. The source of music’s power, according to this account, lies in the notes themselves. To pick apart how music affects us would be a matter of analysing the notes and our responses to them: in come notes, out tumbles our perception of music. How does Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah work its magic? Simple: the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift…

I think that Psychology is so interesting. The human’s ability to cognitively recognize and process things linguistically, auditorily, and kinetically is incredible. Music perception and its connection to the fundamental human experience was very strangely explained in this article. The fact that music stimulates more that one sect of a human’s brain is very important to consider when creating a play or musical or film. The intersectionality between visual cues and auditory cues makes it a multi-modal. The space a performance can occur in is just as powerful as what is being performed. I think that the studies this article talks about that are about sad songs with happy videos are interesting - however happiness and sadness are relative emotions. Overall, the use of visuals along audio is very important, whether it’s a music performance or a play or a symphony performance - the space is just as important as the performers.
The way your brain perceives and reacts to music is amazing. The way that music does not just trigger the function of one part of the brain but multiple parts is ridiculous. This goes to show the power that music has on people. Music has the power to manipulate so many parts of the human existence. And it is so cool how the technical aspects of music also effects the perception of it. The pitches and tones themselves are just a compilation of frequencies, but they evoke the feeling of different moods. For example, minor chords with a lot of dissonance create the feeling of uneasiness and depression. Why do we associate these sound with these moods? That is something that I wish this article went into more detail about. This is defiantly a phenomenon that I am going to do more research about because it really interest me.
