He asked music lovers to identify passages of songs that reliably set off a physical reaction, such as tears or goose bumps. Participants identified 20 tear-triggering passages, and when Dr. Sloboda analyzed their properties, a trend emerged: 18 contained a musical device called an “appoggiatura.”</em></p> <p><em>An appoggiatura is a type of ornamental note that clashes with the melody just enough to create a dissonant sound. “This generates tension in the listener,” said Martin Guhn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia who co-wrote a 2007 study on the subject. “When the notes return to the anticipated melody, the tension resolves, and it feels good.”</em></p> <p><em>Chills often descend on listeners at these moments of resolution. When several appoggiaturas occur next to each other in a melody, it generates a cycle of tension and release. This provokes an even stronger reaction, and that is when the tears start to flow.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>There’s just about the most detailed scientific analysis of a Grammy-winning song ever <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203646004577213010291701378.html">at the link</a>.</p> <p><em>(via <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203646004577213010291701378.html">WSJ.com</a>)</em></p> </blockquote>http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596187199http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596187199Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:41:47 -0500sciencemusicadelegrammysemotiontearjerkersit's nothing just dust in my eye<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lilnxm4qXz1qzaprbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596153699http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596153699Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:40:51 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz0fd2yvSs1qm3hrqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://artmoderation.tumblr.com/post/17200358056/via-come-to-nothing-art-print-by-dirk-petzold">artmoderation</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://society6.com/product/Come-To-Nothing_Print">Come To Nothing Art Print by Dirk Petzold | Society6</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596151296http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596151296Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:40:48 -0500““You can never be overdressed or overeducated.””<br/><br/> - <em>Oscar Wilde (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mmementomori.tumblr.com/">mmementomori</a>)</em>http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596150725http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596150725Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:40:47 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz1i4yXKgd1qzqp9to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://robincantrell.com/post/17221815884/i-doodled-a-heart-on-jakes-arm-the-other-day">rroobbiinn</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I doodled a heart on Jake’s arm the other day…</p> <p>…and he got a tattoo of it!</p> <p>Best Husband Ever</p> </blockquote>http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596040842http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/17596040842Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:37:49 -0500
