When do our brains stop/start perceiving something as music?

864 views

For example, if I played a song really, really slowly. Say, one note per hour, I doubt people would be able to recognize it as music and have the same chemical, physical, and emotional response than if it were played “normally”. When does music become just sound and vice versa?

**Have there been any experiments on how slow music can be before we stop “feeling” the music?**

Experiment or art – you be the judge.

The current performance of [As slow as possible](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_as_Possible) by John Cage is planned to last 639 years.
