Why do we dance and enjoy music?
    #19099778 - 11/07/13 10:42 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Some bird species apparently 'dance' to attract a mate. Can this fact alone explain why humans dance? Human dancing seems to be more diverse and complex than dancing seen in other species and it is optional for us, whereas the male dancing bird of paradise MUST dance in order to impress the female. I don't think this evolutionary/biological explanation satisfies the question. Why do we enjoy music? Why are music and dance so commonly implicated in spiritual practices all over the world?

In my view, there is a divine aspect to both music and dance. The universe is unfolding and we are its outermost extremities in terms of complexity. We are the unfurling tip of the petal of the flower that is the universe. The universe is fractal in nature and our music and dance are merely extensions of this universal patterning. When we dance we are bringing the universe closer to completion by 'filling in' the next pieces of the pattern. When we create music, sing and dance we are in literal harmony with the universe and its goals.

You left out 'on earth'. Not very logical to extrapolate the pinnacle of one planet to a trillion-trillion-trillion planets. :nono:

It's true that my statement is loaded with implicit assumptions. But for the sake of brevity, and the hope of keeping the discussion contained to its original topic, I think it's wise to stop short of speculating about other intelligent lifeforms. ^^

Music speaks directly to the soul as it turns off thoughts
many activities can turn off thoughts... drumming,guitar,singing,drawing,trance,vision quest in nature

were not our thoughts, so we are more in contact with our divine when they are turned off

be, experience

when thoughts are turned off, time ceases too usually

its interesting about the music,soul connection
seems you can know many people by their music taste, the state of their soul often to some extent

We perceive rhythms and cadences.
They are equivalent to smells and textures.
When they are environmental, we  are happy to see others notice too.

Dance derives from that I thinks.

In my opinion, dancing is referred to music for the masses, a collective entertainment.

I don't dance to quality music, it's too deep for physical movements, all about the brain and understanding of the music:

QUALITY:


(3:05, 3:32)

Ultra modern quality:




(chopper at 0:51 - highly intelligent)

Obviously, I could move my body to the rhythm of the music but it will merely be with my hands, head or hip intact with the rhythm of an element in the track, like a drum or piano.

Music is perceived in the mind and it will be deeply analyzed there with little focus on my body.

There are many types of music and it goes without saying that different musics serve different purposes.

Music without a pulse is imo purely an expressive and intellectual activity. I can't think of any times I've listened to rhythmically free music and become immersed in it to the point of it being my entire consciousness at that time. Perhaps it is possible, I don't know. I do know it's definitely better facilitated by pulse driven music. Take trance music as an example; the rhythm is obvious and continuously stated yet the music is named after it's ability to put one in such a state. I believe this goes for many kinds of music and dance and is one of the main appealing factors, if not the main factor

Then there are musics which combine both such as western art music (classical, jazz, etc). Much of which is only appreciated by those with musical training as a lot of the language is otherwise not understand or recognised.

Music can tell a story. It can move you. It can be a full body experience of rushes and tingles on par with any. It can induce immersive experiences that ground you in the present moment just as strongly as any form of meditation (ime of course :tongue2:)

I did not read through the entire thread but I have read a book about music and the brain.

One theory is that music and language were once one. There are a lot of tonal languages left in the world that could be an argument for this theory.

There are also a lot of similarities in terms of rhythm, melody, harmony and flow.

Viewed from this theory, it is not hard to see why music is so important.

We are social creatures, if music is language and language is music, it is a form of communication, connection, direction, guidance, bonding...

It then establishes our social dynamic which is key to our survival!

Music is language, there's hardly any debate about it, other than that :thumbup:

If science is advancement, communication is what's driving it.

Now tell me this is driving humanity forward:

Are you serious?

Gaga is commonly misunderstood. I think she is highly intelligent and takes a piss at art, fashion, fame and pop culture all at once.

She's on the same page as Inez van Lamsweerde's work who combined fashion models with dolls and renderings to make a statement about the objectification in fashion.

Gaga's videos are jam packed with references. Guy Boudin for instance:



I'm 100% sure she is conciously ridiculing everything superficial in the arts and fame.

She doesn't call her fans monsters for no reason.

She sure as hell isn't singing about romance on an interpersonal love level either.

The Beatles had messages to spread as well... it is just a shame that people get so tangled up in idealising the artist instead of working with their message... But on the other hand, the idealisation is what makes it eternally available to whomever needs to distill a lesson out of it.

I am deadly serious.  :hehehe:

Gaga is commonly misunderstood.

Gaga is not misunderstood, she and her profile is a money machine. Just like Madonna and Marilyn Monroe.

She puts her hand infront of her eye like every other Hollywood profile does.

I think she is highly intelligent and takes a piss at art, fashion, fame and pop culture all at once.

Highly intelligent?



Her music sticks to my own and others brain like nothing else, repetition is not intelligent, is it? The following post is relevant to Lady Gaga and intelligence - how much does she spend on the whole scene (PR, costumes etc.) around Bad Romance compared to Pat Metheny on his orchestrion? Does the focus lie on MUSIC or fame?

She's on the same page as Inez van Lamsweerde's work who combined fashion models with dolls and renderings to make a statement about the objectification in fashion.

Is fashion intelligent regardless of whether it's rebellious or not?

Gaga's videos are jam packed with references. Guy Boudin for instance:

Aren't Gaga's videos packed with focus on capturing the masses and make money through a "rebellious" profile?

I'm 100% sure she is conciously ridiculing everything superficial in the arts and fame.

She might be ridiculing the general Christian outlook, but what is she representing?



Just like Kesha and Miley Cyrus are hating on behaving according to society. Are they really hating on society or creating it?

She doesn't call her fans monsters for no reason.

Monsters. Is that a cool thing?

She sure as hell isn't singing about romance on an interpersonal love level either.

Why would she not sing about romance but instead bad romances? Makes no sense to me.

The Beatles had fame and through this, money to make.

Just like the next generation One Direction.

Gaga started as a jazz singer, couldn't get recognition. Holds a grudge, wants to make a statement to the stupid public that doesn't recognise good music.

She then starts using pop music and a carefully constructed image to reach the exact audience she wants to educate!! (How is that not intelligent?)

She ridicules pop music, fame and idealisation and calls her fans monsters because she thinks it's a monstrous sin to like the empty, vain pop music she ridicules and replicates, even exagerates!

It is clear as day!

But her music is, definetely, an attempt to move people away from being sheeple and towards appreciation of purer art forms.

She was not good enough to make money on jazz? Show's her skill as a musician IMO.

Here's jazz:


this might be too advanced:


Would you ever picture Lady Gaga being skillful enough participating in something similar?

She then starts using pop music and a carefully constructed image to reach the exact audience she wants to educate!

So the focus lie on her image instead of the music? Like Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Queens of pop. Pop cultural, music for the masses? Masses being the ones electing Barack Obama?

She ridicules pop music, fame and idealisation and calls her fans monsters because she thinks it's a monstrous sin to like the empty, vain pop music she ridicules and replicates, even exagerates!

She is pop music. Today's queen of pop, hence the masses listen to her, this is very simple. Gaga might call herself rebellious and some sort of opposite to pop culture, just like Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain and Red Hot Chili Peppers did. Marilyn Monroe was crap but caught a lot of attention, Madonna was more crap but caught as much attention, Lady Gaga is worse but gets even more attention. You could call Lady Gaga the opposite to Monroe and Madonna but ultimately they're very much alike based on how the masses look at them with their drooling faces. Gaga sounds like a direct copy of Madonna as well, she looks up to Monroe, doesn't she?

It is clear as day!

That Gaga and her followers are a pest? Yes.

Artist? A person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill:



SEX SEX SEX?


Have you ever heard a rapper not rapping about bitches, niggers or fucking combining jazz, soul and rap? Why doesn't Lady Gaga sing about reality like the last track here (39:06):


?

IMO the only people worth having a voice are honest rappers, there is only one, or two if we include Ronny Jordan, but he's more about instrumentals. There may be artists I am not familiar of obviously. Sure there are a couple of rockers out there as well.

They are not musicians.

Duchamp put a urinal in a museum to ridicule modern art.

Malevich painted a black square as a supreme act of abstraction.

Do you consider those acts works of art?

Well, we are debating musicians here and Lady Gaga is a musician.

Duchamp put a urinal in a museum to ridicule modern art.

I don't care. No actual changes has been made.

Malevich painted a black square as a supreme act of abstraction.

I don't care.

Do you consider those acts works of art?

Art to me is novelty and through this actual changes in the mess we live in.

How's the organ @ 2:16?:



Remind you of 4:25?:



Flying funk.

I was asking you about Duchamp and Malevich because I suspect we have a radically different view on what art is.

I am under the impression that you require art to involve a highly developed, unique skillset.

In my opinion, art is about communicatiing ideas. This must be done in the most efficient way for a work of art to be succesful.

I thereby lump all of art together (even music). I'm sure if it were up to artists to chose their own labels (painter, sculptor, musician, designer), most would chose none.

It is about the message, not the medium or the physical representation of that message.

That is why I suspected you would not feel strongly about Duchamp or Malevich. They are doing the exact same thing Gaga is doing, except on different topics.

Duchamp: modern art
Malevich: abstraction
Gaga: pop culture

I'll rest my case now.

On to enjoy good music because that seems to be something we can both find great delight in!

Love that beeboss funky rhodes! That's fantastic.

I love music that can surprise and be playful or maybe even manic? This is what I look for in classical music as well. Rachmaninoff for instance:

Or Hudson Mohawke (to oppose the classical):

Jazz Liberatorz sounds great, I will delve into that!

I tend to like it a bit darker as well:



Or this:






First track was listenable but boring. It lacks catchiness. The drumming was decent.

Second track is good. I miss some groovy fundamental though. In the same category as Jazzanova, they usually miss out on that groovy element in their track but definitely worth a listen in a set or mix. The start of 2:17 was pleasurable but then it turned boring.

The Rippingtons, check out Key To The Forbidden city, in particular 1:29, this part has 'the mature drive':



The Rippingtons might be too happy or light for you, I recommend liquid lounge if you're into DARK jazz:

I was asking you about Duchamp and Malevich because I suspect we have a radically different view on what art is.

What do you think my approach on art is?

I am under the impression that you require art to involve a highly developed, unique skillset.

Art is novelty to me, just like what everything else should be.

In my opinion, art is about communicatiing ideas. This must be done in the most efficient way for a work of art to be succesful.

How should these ideas be communicated though, through the same ideal every time, like Monroe, Madonna and Gaga?

I thereby lump all of art together (even music). I'm sure if it were up to artists to chose their own labels (painter, sculptor, musician, designer), most would chose none.

Even science is art then? Just like Pat Metheny creates his orchestrion based on 1 + 1.

It is about the message, not the medium or the physical representation of that message.

Everything is physical, even verbal messages. :nono:

That is why I suspected you would not feel strongly about Duchamp or Malevich. They are doing the exact same thing Gaga is doing, except on different topics.

Duchamp: modern art
Malevich: abstraction
Gaga: pop culture


Creating no change, Lady Gaga is making it worse, what do you think?

I'll rest my case now.

I find this enjoyable, please continue challenging my position on music if you want to.

On to enjoy good music because that seems to be something we can both find great delight in!

How's SOULFUL DRUM AND BASS?

Decent but it's too much classical over it, no novelty.

Bossa novelty, follow the flutes:

I am not sure what this is, but it sounds very techno-ish, not good in my opinion. It sounds like the father of 'Sensation White/Black'. Here's my sensation:



It was nice corresponding with you, sleep well:

Listening to music causes a release of dopamine. That is scientifically WHY we enjoy music

And why does listening to music cause a release of dopamine?

This goes back to the music & language similarity.

Language fortifies social bonds thereby increasing survival chances.

This needs to be promoted through natural reward systems such as the dopamine and endorphine systems.

This is why socializing, talking, releases endorphins and dopamine as well.

So if language and music were one at some point, it makes sense that listening to it would release dopamine.

It's function is then to be shared between us as a fortifier of social bonds increasing our survival chances as a species.

Children love to dance

I think I know why, because adults have to rationalize everything, children are experience

What do you mean "adults dont why".  Some adults do, apparently you may have lost the eyes of a child.
