The sound of the SDG's
LocHal, Tilburg
Although a whole industry would like us to believe music is entertainment, our brain actually conceives music as communication. Music has been around for over 100,000 years and has been very important in our evolution. Music binds and connects us, not in the least with other people.
As science has proven, our brains are very musical: children under the age of three will sooner remember a song than spoken word. Moreover, our brain gives us dopamine, the “happiness hormone”, as a reward for listening to interesting chords. Therefore Erwin believes that music is the best tool for communication, since it has almost no boundaries and no ‘language problems’.
We all have a musical brain
