ELI5- Why we associate emotions with music?
In: Other
Music is an art. In general, Art is an expression of emotion that stimulates the senses. Human brains recognize patterns with our senses. Audible patterns will be identified by human brains. Audible patterns are used to communicate. Especially with culture, culture can be identified by outward behaviors that are driven by personal values, the values are associated with personal beliefs. Outward behaviors are recognized via gestures/language. Our emotions are tied to our beliefs.
Sooo like my personal beliefs create my value that influence my outward behaviors-> turns into gesture/language (communication)->communicate with audible patterns(sometimes music)->music is art-> art shows emotion
TL:DR sound patterns make brain feel happy/sad
Music (rhythm, pitch, tone, timbre, intensity, medium) has existed since the beginning when human beings hit one bone with another. From then on it has taken many years and years for music to be introduced into the life of human beings as a form of rituals, festivals, traditions, warnings of danger, communication between two distant peoples, accompaniment of poetry and other arts that have been developing and becoming more complex along with music, such as dance and dance. Hence, our senses, especially hearing and touch allow us to “feel” music and its vibrations through our body. The body (feeling the vibration in the skin and inside the body and in the ears) sends a signal to the brain and indicates if the music has a positive, negative, emotional connotation to laugh, dance, cry, sad, happy, melancholic etc. because in the past these sensations have already been associated and repeated many times and we have apprehended and related them with our own emotions and we have transmitted and inherited them in the genetics, that is to say in our most primitive nature to our children and these to their children and so to us.
