World Science Festival 2009: Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale

Try this with single subjects and peer pressure or influence will not be a reason to disprove pent scales in human subconsciousness. Not everything spectacular is true as with everything non spectacular as this comment is will be false. Think twice before you hastily link this with the human subconsciousness.

The CLUE is in ya name, no pun intended.

Then do you have any idea what cavemen have heard or unheard? LOL. No offence but alot of other animals have ears and brain too. If a chimpanzee was trained, but never heard any music before do you think he/she could do it (what the audience did)? I was trying to prove that the test should be extended to more possiblities(audience inexperienced with any forms of music) before a conclusion as big as human subconsciousness and pent scales could be made.

Assumption is made that they can recognize it. My question is they are untrained, nv ever heard any "real" music or harmony of sounds, could they still do it? nobody really knows, and that is what i'm trying to show. peace

I don't get it :( I'm enjoying the creative use of audience participation, but that can't be all there is to this can it?

Very interesting! Shows us a great creativity

This demonstrates we have the music deep inside. Humans are amazing :-)
