 Hey, Everyone
 

 Music is really a form of meditation.   A sound is used to transcend thoughts 
and the object is to reach samadhi or bliss. consciousness.  As discussed by 
MMY in the Gita.  bliss can be experienced at the juncture of having no thought 
and the unified field.  IMO, this the departure point of experiencing other 
"worlds".  As such, MMY stated that some TMers have been able to see landscapes 
of the Moon or Mars, as reported by the ancient rishis in books like the Srimad 
Bhagavatam.  Also, Srila Prabhupada suggested that this could be the method of 
going to the exoplanets to live there through transmigration.

there's all kinds of alterations to harmony that can be made to make music more 
interesting.

Nothing as stupid as scientists trying to figure out music.  About as 
stupid as them trying to figure out consciousness. :-D


Every composer knows how chord "color" effects their tune.  There was no 
mention of the dominant seventh chord just the major seventh chord and 
minor seventh chord.  And jazz likes to color stuff up more with 9ths, 
11ths and 13ths to make things more "out there."

Carde,

From what I saw on YouTube, Scandinnavia has its unique brand of 
playing lounge music, that is called "tafel music".  It actually 
sounds more like classical music.  Please, check out the tutorial by 
Gjermund Sivertson on YouTube.


Personally, music is now into using more tonal variations by the use 
of modal interchange as played by popular artists like Stevie Wonder, 
Michael Jackson and Alabama.

 Major and minor sevenths were both more prevalent in happier songs 
, 
the researchers report today in Royal Society Open Science. But there 
were some regional differences: Songs from Asia and Oceania tended to 
be more positive than songs from North America, whereas songs from 
Scandinavia tended to be more negative (thanks to the popularity there 
of darker genres like power and death metal, the researchers say). The 
study also found an overall decrease in positive music and lyrics, 
which peaked in the 1950s. But those good vibes may be making a 
comeback—since 2010, the “happiness score” of popular songs has been 
on the rebound.
