Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: Fw: NPR story on music response



As to the Whitman quote, given its age, shouldn't it be ..."the body acoustic?"

I heard this NPR story on the radio. Wiring musicians up to measure their
physical response to music -- yes, it is an old idea indeed. One of the books
about Herbert von Karajan (I can't remember which one) describes how he had
himself wired and then conducted a rehearsal or whatever with his blood pressure,
temperature, et cetera being measured and recorded. That may have been twenty
or twenty-five years ago, however. History much too ancient for the producers
of this story to have known about.

Hey Walt Whitman suggested this  more than a century ago with " I SING THE
BODY ELECTRIC"

fyi


A music researcher Dan Levitin will be attaching physiological sensors to
a conductor, orchestra members, and audience members during a concert
performance. Hear the story on npr's archive. If this link doesn't work
directly, search for Levitin in the past week on NPR's archives.

The page you come up with also shows you links to other music-related
stories.
