ELI5- Why we associate emotions with music?
In: Other
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.
