http://www.globalchange.com What exactly is music? The secret of great music. Physics of sound and how it communicates. How all great music connects with passion and all great performers provoke a response from those who listen. The elusive magic of a world class musician and why live performance will become increasingly important in a virtual, online world. Comment by Dr Patrick Dixon, futurist, leading authority on global trends, conference speaker -- (bad) player of many different instruments and amateur composer.

  • What is music? Set of mathematical formulae or passion? The maths of all muscial harmonies is elegant and fascinatingly simple. The future of music is about exciting the human brain with pattens of sound which give pleasure as a form of language.

  • haha! this video is great and concise! very informative! what exactly do you mean by the word "canned" though? 

  • @kingraisin "canned music" - slang in UK for recorded rather than live.

  • An octave occurs when the Hz doubles. The note A on a piano is 440 Hz. Our Vsiual spectrum starts around 400 THz. My theory is that as the frequency leaves our auduble range it keeps moving up following the same frequency doubling rule. 440 Hz =A 440 Khz =A 440 Mhz =A 440 Thz= A (which is Red on the visual spectrum) Music obeys the same law as our visual spectrum because our visual spectrum is only the continuation of the vibrations.

  • @ATQCapital Interesting theory on maths of music and vision.

  • I play the Violin since i was four, and i`ve never been able to explain how easily i get to people with my instrument. I can hold it up, play a little Brahms or Tchaikowsky, and an overwhelming silence takes over the room and transport us out of this world. I think Physics is really close to music, i thank you a lot for this video Dr. Dixon!

  • subscribed just like that

  • Awesome advice

  • This was very enjoyable, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

  • Outstanding video.

  • Thanks for sending, very informative.

  • @ATQCapital That's exactly the way I've always thought of music once I started learning the theory behind it. I realized it's all numbers. The modes; the scales all have seven notes(talking about real scales not pentatonics) So maybe there is something to it. Some kind of order hidden behind all the chaos...

  • This is good, real good!

    Thanks

  • Amazing incite!! Thanks for sharing it!!
