Weird theory about music.
    #26903402 - 08/28/20 01:59 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

So, over the years ive had to listen to a lot of radio usually when at work.
Its terrible....
It really sucks listening to it all day...
But...
Ive noticed in a lot of modern mass produced type music, many of the beats almost sound similar to a heart beat...
It is weirdly universal.
So my question is, do you think maybe music with a rhythm similar to a human heartbeat might have some kind of effect on people?

I am of the belief that a big part what makes art commercially successful is relatability.

What is more relatable than a human heart beat?

*turns on radio and tunes to station playing disposable, passionless music*

*listens*

*hears the heartbeat in the rhythm and slowly starts liking the music*

*brain is being washed and now on spin cycle*

*starts Fan Club/website/shrine for Artist Du Jour*

*one month later, Artist Du Jour is no longer in style and I end up bankrupt and homeless*

There is no easier music to make than using a laptop to create the repetitive, disco heartbeat and then having a dozen producers tweak it for optimum disposable factor.

I listen to a lot of Dance Music and the tempo is definitely near the Human heart-beat rate.

Heres a cool article that goes into detail between heart beats and Pop Music BPMs: https://medium.com/@Spotify/groove-is-in-the-heart-matching-beats-per-minute-to-heart-rate-271a79b7f96a

Quote:

The upper end of the “resting” 60 to 100 zone shows a decent spike, particularly in the 90–100 range. But more songs land between 120 and 130 bpm, a range that includes massive 2016 hits such as Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For” (124 bpm), Galantis’ “No Money” (126), Nick Jonas’ “Close” (124), and Lukas Graham’s “7 Years” (120).

It happens that scientists already figured out this sweet spot for beats per minute. A 2002 study found that people have a “preferred tempo” in this same 120 to 130 bpm range, which aligns roughly with average walking speed and even the tempo of crowd applause. A Brazilian project which looked at the history of songs on the Billboard charts and within the Million Song Dataset found a similar clustering of popular music around 120 bpm.

Coincidentally or not, most songs also fall somewhere in the span of 60 and 200 beats per minute. However, when you graph the frequency of bpms for the top 10,000 streamed songs, the most common tempos are not in the resting heart rate zone, when you’d expect most people are listening to music, but slightly higher, between 120 to 130 bpm.
