musenji Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/episodes/2006/04/21 There is a good summary of the program on that page, and the program is available via mp3 download or streaming media. Of course the presentation is not comprehensive--it just touches down on a few ideas/issues--but it is a step forward into looking scientifically at music, and demonstrates some intriguing results.

exaltron Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Of course the presentation is not comprehensive--it just touches down on a few ideas/issues--but it is a step forward into looking scientifically at music, and demonstrates some intriguing results. Wow, I only listened to half of it, but the implications are amazing. The nature of perfect pitch- the relationship to language, etc. is really fascinating. It's funny, I've always heard people say that my ability to pick up languages and my musical talent were related, but I had no idea how much. That explains why hearing someone speak mispronounce spanish has the same effect on me as hearing an instrument played out of tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
