"Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus"
Is our response to music hard-wired or culturally determined? Is the reaction to rhythm and melody universal or influenced by environment? Join host John Schaefer, scientist Daniel Levitin and musical artist Bobby McFerrin for live performances and cross cultural demonstrations to illustrate musics note-worthy interaction with the brain and our emotions.
This segment features an impressive display of improvisational harmony from Bobby McFerrin.
This event took place on June 12, 2009 in the Gerald Lynch Theater at the City University of New York. This is the first of ten segments.

This is absolutely electrifying.

@metaled16 Maybe if I saw this on the street I would say he was a nutcase. But I'd say: "Look at that nutcase. He's a freakin' musical genius!" There's a lot more going on than just humming on a stage.

I do this! but not infront of a crowd lol - Bobby's amazing!
-
@thelipstickfemme It's slang for "WOW!" or, "amazing."
-
@metaled16 how just a simple thing of sitting on a stage can change our perspective from what is classified as a "nutcase" to a "artistic expressionist"

It's all in the dreads.

@passwordpanda If I gave a speech on the street no one would listen. If I am on a stage and people are there expecting to listen to my speech, they would clearly listen. There is a time and place for everything. Doesn't make it flaw in that respect.

Friend of mine asked "what's that instrument he's playing?" to which I replied "It's called a microphone"!

If you were in the streets and did this, you'd be classed as a nutcase
