The blue planet our world we tend to describe its beauty in terms of what we see and treat our site as our primary sense. But in recent Years New Research has pointed toward the importance of hearing of the sounds of our world and how we process them. Hearing it seems is more important than we thought. Some even believe its the key to our futures. Music is inbuilt within our d. N. A. Within our genes. Our society becomes faster and faster and faster they have to get information out of the environment they are a quickly the auditory channel is quicker than the visual channel. This big developments happening in technology at the moment and a lot of people soon thats all about the visual but if you dont get the sound right then your sensor motion completely disappears. So i walked to the right lane going to how people react to every day sounds so i go on about the normal day or kind of theres lots of sounds im not really paying attention to and i will be taking my is my brain will be taking unconsciously but my conscious brain isnt aware of it. Some aspects of auditory channel are faster than other senses and thats because we might think of hearing as being something to do with speaking like i am now in communication but actually its an Early Warning system and thats what its 1st evolutionary purpose. Good to see youre welcome to the sound will come its a really noisy place isnt it what you would believe under these railway is the simplest amazing sounds which will made you about this wonderful called coffin it follow me. Most just as a listener around here just. One can hear. You know it comes on maternal line movement. Point you can see we hear. A slight back of the sofa for news on the 1950 s. Rock n roll and musician hip thank you its good its got a great sound effect but he just calls by the you know the brick is just keeping the sound here and that his son is probably skipping around in song of this curve but you have the bottom coming back and its also going along the top of the water and coming back again so its amazing amazing contribution by signs the mystery is how is the sound getting across its give me around the top of the great was it just going straight in bouncing off the wall. And coming straight back to you. Could even be both. I think sun can be both about listening and about vibration so from a purely so physical point if you can think of acoustic ways which a vibration is they dont need someone to listen to to actually exist but actually to be of interest really you could have some of the animal whether its a human or whatever listening to that sound. Think the rounds early nineties i moved from a music listener to. Explore experimenting working on this topic you realize that theres not really a 100 percent but we feel king with his reality existing outside of us. Our brain its only delivering information to be needed in order to survive but you can very much money relate to your brain by giving it attention to a constant listening to right. Its up to you how much of that. Sound itself can. Physically. Change our behavior in a radical way. It can create moods that creates a physical reaction in the body the street noise loss just this is a disability a language which can communicate so much we never speech of actually hearing because every feet was moving everything with this living has a frequency thats a risk even if deep before we are born we have to experience of self. That. One of the interesting things that i picked up on was how different the arches were i mean between them all because they all seem very similar in makeup and shape and size it depends whether focusing point as compared to the ground is above the ground and its not really a cliff but the head you dont hit face right on the ground you get this reinforcement sign goes down and up and down and up and theres all kind of weird accused effects which you know weve all been listening to for millennia i mean this is this coast theorys to rock is placed in places where the echoes are particularly interesting so you can paint a picture of a figure and hes done but by go in the sun will come off and it will look like the persons to a sound of a persons. Its rather strange as an archaeologist to have an interest in music because the past is of course totally sonnet to us. We know that some of the most elaborate painting panels in the caves also in the case where he got the most to mask acoustics. So he spent those paint. Sings were so sated with singing dancing musicality. This is a typical train or tram noise and i wonder what your sponsors to. I wont be long enough i think im so yeah its really been pleasant near how how calm and the theory has it is that there scraping sounds on pleasant because they sound a bit like a scream and in our brains we have a very short will sponsor mechanism to deal with danger thats what having was 1st of evolution it was an Early Warning system so youll find a lot of cities doing things like bringing fountains into squares because it gives you the sound of nature and you can do things the high traffic noise with it and of course we like the sound of nature is good for us you know in evolution returns were used to living not in a city but out in the countryside and when this water is going to be food thats going to be for us to drink so were not for fun a pleasant sound. And was quite curious about sound is actually sound waves a really weak or a physical point if you see tiny little motions of ammo it kills us you know we have these big big emotional feelings responding to this week little force. Thank. When the early ancestors going back to maybe 3000000 years communicated with musicality they did that to express emotions to manipulate emotions to build social relationships because that was before language so we asked what was all this ability to be receptive to sounds what was all being used to have music it was it was being used for making music rather than making conversation is limited. Humans are social creatures it was our hearing that enabled us to build community and to secure the survival of our species through evolution. The importance of our audio functions can be discerned from the moment we are born. Babies are like superman when babies are born they are musical so they can discriminate between the rhythm of their native language and rhythms of other languages but more interestingly and at age of 4 days after birth babies are already crying in the stress pattern of their Mother Tongue its the genes had an influence on brain structure that made us at one point musical and also able to process language. So. I started playing piano when i was 3 i would just and merely sounds that i would hear in the room. And just learning by ear. Overgrown place apocalyptic house. 2. Children are perfect musicians and where they have to superior hearing and superior pitch and then somewhere along the way if those skills are perfected if theyre not worked on then you lose it but and its infancy i feel like were designed to be these perfectly pitched musical instrument. And theres a huge space for innovation within the integration of music and technology that is going to come entirely from the younger generations. And really interested in helping young girls young women get into. Said in the technological aspects of music making. Computers is actually de monetizing the Music Industry you could actually create an entirely new form of music and your own rhyming way of listening and writing music and the traditional approach to learning music is not necessary for that process and im excited to see where its going to go because its limitless. Were using different methods to see where and when the brain processes music so that those methods like functional Magnetic Resonance imaging where we put people into the scanner and see which brain areas consume more oxygen things they are active during listening to music playing music also we use methods like trance of philosophy where we have little sensors electrodes on the scalp to record brain potentials with a millisecond resolution to really tell when things are happening and we have methods where we stimulate the brain to make one brain area more or less efficient to see which effects this has only music perception and production. I started to play the piano i be a ship 3 and my family couldnt imagine that i could be a professional pianists a professional musician. Nobody of my family are musician i realize that music is such a great means for me to have a conversation with the people and to get into the social life will show that i think its in the wall with musicians who use both hands while playing this is done by the 2 hemispheres that need to communicate more strongly than in an old musician the auditory areas are refined musicians are better able to discriminate between 2 pitches. Were fascinated by how musicians perform on stage with reeds speed and accuracy and how they are doing this. Pianist when planning piano movements is always like 5 or 6 tones ahead in his or her mind. We were interested in whether we can influence this planning process maybe boost this planning process by brain stimulation. And i sat here. Just take a seat so today we will do an experiment on music production. And why they are doing this week i asked him of the 81 area in your brain ask located about here and to find this area ill do some near an education with you. What will happen us there so you are see hands of a pianist on the screen playing the piano playing what sequences and your task will be to do exactly the same on the piano on your own piano just be meeting as you see on the screen all right ringback. And what we hope to find is that the stimulation indeed boosts performance boosts the planning process. So one could take this as adopting for the pianist but personally i admit i would prefer natural pianists because they are already performing excellently on stage. I feel like were very very close with this whole group or Center NearingBrain Research and if you can create this blueprint of all the neural connections in your brain and build a supercomputer that would map all of these functions out you can send a very noninvasive allow. Circle stimulus to your brain and be able to manipulate the emotional state the mental state so essentially thats going to change the way that we listen to music because we wont necessarily need speakers to you hear and experience music. One of the power of music for example is that it can have an influence on you and you dont know why. The history of music has not only a happy history. Of pain wall songs to manipulate and music has been used for torture and thats a terrible history. In england its been an Interesting Development marks and spencers a big public stories decided to turn off music entirely and thats a silence which is an interesting choice because most shops are using music to manipulate behavior and so on this will surely harm their sales how is it that some external combination of musical sounds has like an emotional impact on human beings perhaps there are certain frequencies that are more harmonious with the way that our physical chemistry is taking my music and switching it from 440 hertz to 432 and like listening to the differences so on my record i definitely did that a certain tracks and some of the sounded and it just felt more warm and like much more brazen. Its the. 2 experienced with the mafia a group of people who had never before listened to western type of music they hear musical piece and the music really realize this is sad something that seems to be partly universal in this rituals experience a creative musical euphoria so we came up with this technology where we create music in a way that is physically very challenging we fitness. I mean you already have a number off effects just as if an interest in music but when youre actively do it. The effects are approximately. Double the strong. Gym in decreased air and side. Which in chronic pain is huge furthermore we found some you know logical effects where we find them on all sides concentrations so the 1st barrier against infections and is increased off to the gym. We are basically rediscovering all these effects enough probably played a huge role in the development of human civilization. When we make Music Together we are truly in harmony. Each player becomes part of a bigger whole. We feel good when we enjoy music and whether its being played by an orchestra a rock band a samba class an ancient ritual or even a fitness machine the music we make also leads us back to ourselves to our bodies. Studies indicate we have a sense of music even before we begin to use words. One could almost say the human brain is wired for music. And music was a 1st proper language probably but also in our development thurstons were 1st are sensitive to music and were 1st that doing music or musical sounds before understanding or it speaking like morse took to the thames. So brantley for me is a project in which we are translated by. Electrical activity in the brain into sound we create music where motions so the emotions of the brain are translated into musical language part of this project is to provide people with different disabilities like Cerebral Palsy the opportunity to create music through the activity of their brain. Say i just want to hear we can see the signal from f. Ryans brain in real time. This information gets analyzed which indicates if the emotion is positive or negative strong or neutral we can basically watch as it changes yes for that there was an old or the most. Commonly are not used to yes or no and then youll send this to me and well make music with the software. How do you decide what music to play at each moment you know. Some how we experience sounds is cultural. But there is also internet component down there. You know when we play notes the creator harmony is so much better than us as you gives us a sense of pleasure in this but if we play notes that have nothing to do with each other then it feels like this. Sometime in the bus to meet on the code you generate depends on the activity i feel good to get i started with the question is. We have now started to. Starting to use sounds in different aspects in music in music out of technology thats a bad there is still a lot of potential there and were not using it. In the field of music neuroscience is a relatively new research area. And yet we already have technology which can have a positive impact on peoples lives now and new tools are constantly being developed. For music when i was 9 years old that shows the drums because i try not to spend. I start chanting the song and ever feel so in this celebration. Of the end the. Same. Thing. Useful means expresses why feeling it shows what i know i show it shows me off and especially my even last. Thing. With the instrument itself you get a feel for the whole body through it the vibration is different vibrations through the whole body. Adam has a moderate hearing loss so its very its be varying levels of sound that he hears he does live create a lot his personality started off quite shy but then he got into the drone and hes confident started to build up because hes joined music and the death and goes to yorkshire musical hes also now helping all the children in the club because he feels that hes got more to offer. I think with music being able to communicate through music is a good way to challenge your energies through in order to and to to release the frustrations that you might have been at not being able to hear properly but the idea of music is to incorporate everybody you can be deaf you can be hearing you can be blind an equal you can still have the opportunity to play music and create something together as a whole. Otherness become a different person its interesting plain. To see him grow through music it is quite exciting as a parent to see. The kids in a good start in life to to be able to express himself out im going to bring about. That. With all this to do tomorrow night brushfires. On. The club of music. The children at the club have varying degrees of hearing loss. They will be using the new technological device for the 1st time ever to see how it effects how they experience music. Each vibrating backpack will be connected to every instrument in the room meaning it should allow its wearer to also feel the other instruments more intensely when everyone plays together. As a typo or your device that allows people to engage physically with music anything within the frequency range of 130. 00 in the high end by the time the love will be able to feel. In effect bring you closer to music. A lot of people are getting benefit from using it you know not just from a creation standpoint but also performance and putting across your music in the best possible way so people are feeling everything. They have. To do it. A bit. Oh do you do if he is going to be back. Here for this. Film. Because he can feel the big feel the rhythm feel the different vibration coming on the. Pad so the get to it and get people got caught here kids patchogue big movie j. B. Vibration on the enigma shops it was like oh my chick on your back side is hard to describe and. I felt i could really hear myself. In the Natural World every sound has an echo even if these are sometimes hardly perceptible. The echo is not without purpose and comforts us so what happens when its removed the anecdote chamber is well known for being a place just because of the solid sound you make just disappears into the wall. The absence of echo in the Anechoic Chamber can feel unsettling 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 6 2. And indeed if there were no sound and no echo our Early Warning system would not function but then you also have to have meant silence so if you shut up in that space youll start hearing sounds of your own body your brain is continually tweaking the it to make it for better. Could we survive on another planet. In space sound an echo function in a different way. Its the Anechoic Chamber space it depends what your condition is in space gosh if youre on a spacecraft its quite noisy. So its not a quiet place but its i suppose if you went outside the spacecraft enough moment to expect c. H. Before you died i guess you would hear sol its a bit like an echo chamber but i suspect the panic that is surrounding you might mean thats not the last thing youll be thinking about. Every sound in some places in space if you go to venus or mars is now sitting there and sound waves can travel now the properties are very different on those planets because theyre not oxygen rich. Sounds a medium to trouble her so in the absence of a medium there is no sound however its all relative to what you define as space and whats within the space theres an entire spectrum of wave forms so you can use sonification techniques to represent audio in using any of these any of the state or any of these waveform i received these really wonderful sonification samples from these re
