I have heard that tempo intrinsically affects us because of its connection to resting vs. active heart rates. That makes sense to me.
That's what it seems like, such as the beat in JAWS or Doomsday Machine. I've heard someone with a pulseless artificial heart didn't feel emotions as intensely, possibly because hormones like adrenaline won't have the same effect.
YOKO ONO said the same thing. She posits that the farther music gets away from.the human heartbeat the more distance from communicating human emotion.
She cites postWebern serialism as music that lost its connection to the audience's heart because of lack of a 44 beat.
Interesting.

Academic analyses is a really bad idea for the Arts. Especially music.
Keep it in the scientific and sociological spheres.
We'd all be a lot happier!

Are you getting another one of them there headaches?
You don't agree, you pointy headed intellectual?

As usual, I find it nearly impossible to figure out who is arguing with whom, and about what.
But it was quite upsetting to see this turn into a food fight (pretty quickly, at that).
I wish people would express their opinions in a more constructive way and be more respectful of each other, and of the subject in this case.

Are you serious? You really and truly think that what you linked to is innocuous?
The first 45 pages or so I skimmed thru were nothing but identity politics and nothing to do with music.
Saw the title, then immediately dumped it.
I honestly missed the title of the PDF. I was going off the title for this thread. So yes I was a little blind sided by what I read. Guess I should have paid closer attention. But I read on because I wanted to give it a fair chance. After 45 pages of so I gave up. The sections Lukas found insightful must be further down the doc.

I hope we can manage this without the thread getting locked. A lot of this makes me sad, but people not being able to talk to each other at all makes me sadder.
I would probably be able to read this thing if I didn't so much time reading threads like this.
