I was searching some docs and researches about music on the web, I found this one:

"Is music movement an expression of emotion? Music-psychological research shows that
listeners reliably discern emotional categories (Gabrielsson & Lindström 2001). To take one
example: Melancholy/sadness is, in music as in prosody, the universally best communicated
emotion. In music, melancholy is low register, legato, minor chords, small melodic leaps, low
volume, lack of dynamics, slow, monotone and firm rhythm. Halftone movements
(chromatics) and disharmonic (unsolved) chords are particularly melancholy. The richness of
variables studied (multivariate analysis technique) gives us a hint of how many variables we
“weigh together” in our perception of music without being conscious about it."
Somebody can share more links or docs about this theme?
There are more common themes like: major chords sounds more happy, and minor chords sounds sadness...
I like to read articles about this...
Thanks in advance...

music is the language of cosmos along with mathematics….
our brain perceives different wave length frequencies that affect our conscious state. it is said that our planet beats around 8 cycles per second, and precisely about 8 hz is the alpha brain wave which affects the rhythm, inter-awareness, invention, music, art, meditation, etc, and here in this specific band range, is where our brain hemispheres are synchronized to spin together in a near perfect alignment with the beats of the earth (mind/earth harmony).
but, at the same time, since the source of music comes from natural vibrations of the air, ranging a lot of other frequencies in the herzt scale, when listening to music or creating music we perceive a lot of another sensations which belong to diverse categorizations of the frequency/herz spectrum in the brain. so the music is like a “innocuous drug” able to boost/enhance all our conscious/soul? potential, in a lucid manner yet. music is also like an open doorway to cosmical knowledge.
following the hertz frequency corresponding to different conscious states of the mind.
“
1.0 hz
feeling of well-being; pituitary stimulation to release growth hormone; overall view of interrelationships.
3.5 hz
feeling of one with everything; accelerated language retention.
5.5 hz
moves beyond knowledge to knowing; shows vision of growth needed.
6.3 hz
astral projection; accelerated learning & increased memory retention.
7.0 hz
mental & astral projection; bending objects; psychic surgery.
7.5 hz

centering; the doorway to all other frequencies.
13-30 hz

Music is purely a psychological concept. Mathematics is not. |

I am only curious.
Have you studied music theory? |

Yes. What's your point? |

I think the point is that music is heavily related to mathematics. That's why talented kids often play instruments- because mathematics is the only true field where a child can perform at the level of an adult (as a prodigy).
Also, that first article is really good stuff. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it. |

this be some interesting .
However Id still like to know what the emotion is that you get when listening to breakbeats. its not so much an emotion... more of a feeling.... but there has to be a name for it! |

No real point. I guess I can see how one could call music solely psychological, because you're saying that our minds cannot help but to create subjective perceptions of the music however objective it may try to be? Is this right?
The laws of mathematics apply universally regardless if a mind experiences them. Mathematics is not experienced as is music.
On the other hand, are we talking about music as experienced or music as produced. For example, what about music produced by a computer alone?
Also, as an architecture student, I can tell you that the way mathematics are applied to design is EXTREMELY psychological. Proportions and mathematical geometries dominate architecture.
I would argue personally that music is an application of a universal mathematics, as is architecture and many other "psychological" and "artistic" works. |

Mathematics are used to determine harmious solutions, but the concept of music itself only exists within the human mind. Physically speaking, there is no difference between "musical" sound and noise, it's how the mind interprets it that makes it music. |
