Can someone explain to me *why* we can perceive emotion in music? It's all kind of magical to me how music really is a universal language. (Erm, it is, right?) We can all recognise a happy tune, a tense tune, an aggressive one, and perhaps a contemplative or serene tune.
Why is that?
I'm not much sure it's that universal.
Probably, globalization has melded some difference, but as far as I can remember, in Kenya music taste was pretty different from our. At least, I was unable to understand most of the messages.
I guess it's all depends on how musically isolated is a culture.
Actually, yawn is the only universal message I can think of.
