“Feel the Music” Music & Science Expo | North Beach
Most of us have experienced joy, sadness, or fear while listening to a live musical performance or the score to a film. What can science tell us about how music and sound affect our brain and induce feelings?
“Feel the Music” is a two-day forum on music and the science of how it produces emotion, happening at swissnex San Francisco.
Over the course of two days, swissnex San Francisco and the NCCR Affective Sciences research center at the University of Geneva bring together renowned psychologists, neuropsychologists, engineers, literary theorists, artists, musicologists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and historians from around the world to discuss the latest research on music and emotion.
swissnex San Francisco and the Consulate General of Switzerland in San Francisco invite the public to attend an original music performance and to push open new doors of perception.
Free, but an RSVP is required.
To close the two-day forum, “Feel the Music: Sound and Emotion,” sound artist Jorge Bachmann presents his recent creation, in which sound waves and rhythm trigger emotion in listeners.
According to Bachmann, “It is a soundscape where the audience gets immersed into sound, where unconscious resurfaces into new sensorial experiences. The samples come from different sources, mostly field recordings of nature and urban places. They are sometimes natural, sometimes processed in order to create a new sonic narrative.”
