I: Play
Every so often I'm amazed music worms taking by assault my brain and that repeat and retell it easy to get rid of them, more stubborn when you get them out more about the head. Sometimes, doing something everyday, suddenly a noise, heard a particular word or a random sequence of environmental sounds that simulate musical notes shoot a song or a piece of it that repeats and repeats in my mind,
sometimes for hours, parallel to my thoughts and functional activities. For example, sometimes when someone says the word "backwards", I immediately comes song The kingdom upside down, Chabelo singing, and the ditty "Let's see the kingdom, the kingdom upside down" with all and Chabelo playing congas caught me and the chorus is repeated and repeated part of the day accompanying me until alone disappears, or is replaced by another song. Sometimes these worms are rare, and when I am assailed by an annoying " do you believe in love love alter" and I wonder where I will be out if I do not like Cher or have followed his career or anything. I noticed that most of my songs are pop music virus. I do not recall ever my iPod brain was put into repeat mode with classical music (with one exception: a time when I had an alarm clock that played Spring, during the day had several hallucinations music to Vivaldi, but disappeared when I changed my watch), but the ditties that come in without my permission to the brain are rather pop songs that I caught the flight on a foreign radio, on television last in a bar in a public event out there.
II: Pop, Lollypop,
Popcorn Pop is not, by far my favorite dish tastes when hearing, but I can not recognize the power they have. One hears on TV, on the city bus in the taxi, in-store and at home, if one is inclined to such tastes, and there is no way to escape from him, is everywhere, sell, pledge, love , pull.
A the premises of this genre is not to think too much to listen: songs are facile, catchy, without any challenge to the brain. Unlike the bossa nova or
j azz, which raised its melodic savvy crossword dense intellect, the pop is simple and hassle free. The pop hits as well as not only being sold by large corporations (Televisa, Myspace, Sony, Virgin ...) but also because, in the musical architecture, with respect to the ratio of the Hertzian vibrations depths with neuronal pop is made for the listener does not put his brain lobes chamber (we speak only of the melodic, regardless of the letters, although they in most cases also meet with the premise). Music is an abstract human construct self-referential (ie, the language of music just talks about the music itself, what we feel for her is another ticket - we speak of letters, not letters) supported by mathematical relationships that can become very complex. The relationship between each note of the musical scale we use today in the West is determined by a particular mathematical relationship, and we are culturally trained since childhood to perceive certain relationships as more harmonious than others. Thus, a sequence of notes do-mi-sol-do played on the piano sounds more "pleasing" that a do-do #-fa #-sun, so to speak. The human condition is a certain aesthetic hearing what the producers of pop and other genres easily digestible used to his advantage to make a song to be successful commercially.
Moreover, the difficulty of a sequence of notes do-do #-fa #-sol is what attracts those who have been educated in his ear (ie your brain) to appreciate the mathematical relationship between these notes, and its resulting aesthetic quotient. Only the latter are a minority in the population.
To put it in numerical metaphor (as we're at it), Alex Sinteks plays 2 plus 2 equals 4, no fights and everyone is happy, while Stan Getz (or Bindu Gross, pa ra
use an example more intimate and close) plays there is going to the square root of the product of the cube b 4ac least two, and there find him - yes, when found, aesthetic satisfaction (which, again, is entirely subjective, because the music does not speak sensations, but of music itself) may also be larger, higher than leaving a singsong song with three chords. III: Endorphins
The mystery is that, the pleasure of giving the music. A cold night bonfire in woods is appreciated by the organization for the clear benefit that gives warmth, a glass of water at noon has obvious benefits for the body and is therefore desired and welcome. The music, however, does not cover biological necessity, and yet humans we have become an essential part of our lives. Voluntarily or involuntarily, every day we have many contacts with the music, and indeed, as a culture, important social activities organized around it. We have perfected the tools to do it, and so there are orchestras, rock bands, mariachis, DJs. Music is woven with many times the ceremonial courtship, so we have romantic dinners with fiddle music and nights disc to the masses who come to hunt and display behaviors to an alien anthropologist would be no less curious than we seem certain behaviors chimpanzees.
music walks among us since the Paleolithic someone noticed that the logs hollowed by termites gave notes to be struck and that a rib bone rang hollow with side holes to be blown, and changed the sound to cover or discover holes with your fingers. Thereafter
