This is an interesting article about how music affects the brain. I do think that structured classical music (think Handel) is more of an active listening experience, requiring attention, while other, more melodious genres are more passive. blog.bufferapp.com/music-and-the-brain
(I remember inquiring once why a tune being listened to repeatedly stops having the same effect; and an answer I came up with was that a tune will stimulate same brain regions/cells in the same sequence, and after listening for it these stimulated brain cells become overused and tired, and so the piece eventually loses the effect on the brain).
m.youtube.com/watch?v=M1VhkCOHbRw The official video is more controversial than the words but I wouldnāt have hesitated to post it on a UK site, because the controversy is not ourās. but in any caseā¦ Iāve got those beats stuck in my head.
I just love the array of differing arrangements all contained within one songā¦ an ode to J Coleās own make up and educational and cultural influences and diversity perhaps?

Beethoven is overrated as fuck, but he is a man who put in a lot of hard work.
Beethoven has a modernized yuppie feel to his tunes, that is why it is fitting in modern commercials.
Classical music from Beethovenās time is mostly just fiddle farting around with procedural generated formulas.
Videogame music is more ancient/pagan sounding, better classical than Beethoven, the problem with videogame music is that it is so short, the songs are only 2 minutes long, which is a disadvantage, and partially the reason they are able to make the songs so good. If you analyze the structure of many videogame songs it is the same as classical music, for instance this song.
Musical hedonism occurs because different songs elicit different ācomplex emotions.ā Complex emotions are not easily categorized like the simple emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger etc.)
Each song activates various chakras and fills them various colors of fluids.
Once the song is looped to the point where the chakra is satiated, it loses itās satiating effect.
What I refer to by āmusic suxā is something else entirely.
ā¦try and do something nice and Trixie doesnāt appreciate itā¦ itās not the genre of music, but the music itself that matters in this situation and scenario, but in this case obviously not.
If this doesnāt make you happy, I donāt know what will
ā¦seems like a mix of MJ moves, and the current trend for African-inspired expressive danceā¦ I plan to see her at a festival coming soon near me, by which time I plan to understand all of that songā¦ not just a third of it.
ā¦but it was more about the song and musicality than the video.
