videos. and that's the latest on d w news this hour i'll be back again at the top of the hour with another update for you i'm marian evans dean for me and the entire team here in berlin thanks for the company. language courses. video. anytime anywhere. w. .

the blue planet our world. we tend to describe its beauty in terms of what we see and treat our site as our primary sense. but in recent years new research has pointed toward the importance of hearing of the sounds of our world and how we process them. hearing it seems is more important than we thought. some even believe it's the key to our futures. music is inbuilt within our d.n.a. within our genes. our society becomes faster and faster and faster they have to get information out of the environment they are quickly the auditory channel is quicker and the visual channel. there's big developments happening in technology at the moment and a lot of people soon that's all about the visual but if you don't get the sound

right then your sensor motion completely disappears. and. so i watch for the right way of going to how people react every day sounds so i go on about the normal day icon of just lots of sounds i'm not really paying attention

to little and i will be taking my is my brain will be taking unconscious. slee but michael just brought us in the web. some aspects of the channel all fostered the senses not because we might think of haven as being something to do with speaking like i am now in communication but it's an early warning system and that's what it's 1st evolutionary purpose. oh yeah good to see you're welcome to the sound will commits a really noisy place isn't it you would believe under these well wait she's the solution amazing signs. about this wonderful call coffee follow me. so i just have to listen around here and just. one can hear.

you know. i'm done maternal longboard missed my. point see we hear. you as a slut back of the sofa muse on the 1950 s. rock n roll and musician here. he is going to great sound effect but he just calls by

the. you know the brick is just keeping the sound here that your son is probably skipping around in song of this curve but you have the bottom coming back and it will be also going along the top of the water and coming back again so it's amazing amazing contribution by signs the mystery is how is the sun getting across it's giving around the top of the great was it just going straight and bouncing off the wall and coming straight back to you. could even be both. i think sound can be both about listening and about vibration so from a purely so physical point if you can think of ways which a vibration and they don't need someone to listen to to actually exist but actually to be of interest really you could have some of the animal whether it's a human or whatever listening to the.

early ninety's i moved from a music listener to. explore experiment. working on this topic you realize to really a 100 percent but the feeling of is really the team existing outside us. our brain it's only delivering information to be needed in order to survive but you

can very much money belayed your brain by giving it attention to. constant listening to the south right. it's up to you how much of the south like to hear. sounds of itself can. physically. change our behavior in a radical way it can create moods that creates a physical reaction in the body history noise laws just this is this already a language which can communicate so much we never speech of actually hearing because every feet what is moving everything what is living has a frequency that's a risk even if deep before we are born we have to experience of self. the.

one of the interesting things that i picked up on was how different the arches were i mean between them all because they all seem very similar in makeup and shape and size it depends whether focusing point as compared to the ground is above the ground and it's not really a case of the head you don't hit face right on the ground you get this reinforcement sign goes down an up and down and up and there's all kind of weird accused effects who you know we've all read this into for millennia i mean this is this coast theories to. is placed in places where the echoes are particularly interesting so you can paint a picture of a figure and he's done but by go out in the sun will come off and it will look like the person's to a hit sound like a person's. it's

rather strange as an archaeologist. to have an interest in music because the past is of course totally sonnet to us. we know that some of the most elaborate painted panels in the caves or similar case where he got the most to mask of cousteau. so he sped those paintings were soon seated with singing dancing musicality. this is a typical train or tram noise and i wonder what your sponsors to. be long enough to think i'm so yeah it's really been pleasant on the ear how how calm

and the theory has it is that there's scraping sounds on pleasant because they sound a bit like a scream and in our brains with a very short will sponsor mechanism to deal with danger that's what hearing was 1st of evolution it was an early warning system so you'd find a lot of cities doing things like bringing fountains into squares because it gives you the sound of nature and you can do things the high traffic noise with it and of course we like the sound of nature is good for us you know in evolution returns we're used to living not in a city but out in the countryside and when there's water there's there's going to be food that's going to be what's for us to drink so we not find a pleasant sound. and was quite curious about sound is actually sound waves a really weak from a physical point a few sweet tiny little motions of their motor kills but to us you know we have these big big emotional feelings responding to this week little force.

the of. were. you. to. her. it was . the.

when early ancestors going back to maybe 3000000 years communicated with musicality they did that to express emotions to manipulate emotions to build social relationships because that was before language so we asked what was all this ability to be receptive to sounds what was all being used to have news good writing was being used for making music rather than making conversations like modern.

humans are social creatures it was our hearing that enabled us to build communities and to secure the survival of our species through evolution. the importance of our audio functions can be discerned from the moment we are born. babies are like superman when babies are born they are musical so they can discriminate between the rhythm of their native language and rhythms of other languages but more interestingly and at age of 4 days after birth babies are already crying in the stress pattern of their mother tongue it's the genes had an influence on brain structure that made us at one point musical and also able to process language .

i started playing piano when i was 3. and the only sounds that i would hear in the room. and just learning by ear. overgrown post-apocalyptic house

take 2. children are perfect musician and where they have to superior appearing and superior pitch and then somewhere along the way if those skills are perfected if they're not worked on then you lose it but and it's infancy i feel like we're designed to be these perfectly pitched musical instrument. there is a huge space for innovation within the integration of music and technology that is going to come entirely from the younger generations. i'm really interested in helping young girls young women get into. said in the technological aspects of

music making. computers is actually de monetizing the music industry you could actually create an entirely new form of music and your own rhymed way of listening and writing music and the traditional approach to learning music is not necessary for that process and i'm excited to see where it's going to go because it's limitless.

we're using different methods to see where and when the brain processes music so that those methods like function magnetic resonance imaging where we put people into the scanner and see which brain areas consume more oxygen means they are active during listening to music playing music also we use methods like electroencephalography where we have little sensors electrodes on the scalp to record the brain potentials with a millisecond resolution to really tell when things are happening and we have methods where we stimulate the brain to make one brain area more or less efficient to see which affects this has on music perception and projection.

i started to play piano at the age of 3 and my family couldn't imagine that i could be a professional pianists or professional musician. nobody of my family are musician and i realized that the music is so great means for me to have a conversation with the people and to get into the social life will show that things in a wall with musicians who use both hands while playing this is done by the 2 hemispheres that need to communicate more strongly than in an old musician the auditory areas are refined musicians are better able to discriminate between 2 pitches. we are fascinated by how musicians perform on

stage with speed and accuracy and how they are doing this. pianist when planning piano movements is always like 5 or 6 tones ahead in his or her mind. we were interested in whether we can influence this planning process maybe boost this planning process by brain stimulation. and i sat here. just take a seat so today we will do an experiment on music production. and why they are

doing this week i asked him of the 81 area in your brain asked located about here and to find this area i'll do some near an education with you. what will happen us there so you are see hands of a pianist on the screen playing the piano playing court sequences and your task will be to do exactly the same on the piano on your own piano just be me taking as you see on the screen all right ringback.

and what we hope to find is that the stimulation indeed boosts performance boosts the planning process. so one could take this as adopting for the pianist but personally i admit i would prefer natural pianists because they are already performing accidentally on stage. i feel like we're very very close with this whole reverse engineering brain research and if you can create this blueprint of all the neural connections in your brain and build a supercomputer that would map all these functions out you can send very noninvasive along. circle stimulus to your brain and be able to manipulate the

emotional state the mental state so essentially that's going to change the way that we listen to music because we won't necessarily need speakers to you hear and experience music. one of the power of music for example is that it can have an influence on you and you don't know why. the history of music has not only happiness or. have been wall songs to manipulate and music has been used for torture and that's a terrible history. in england it's been an interesting development marks and spencers a big problem still has decided to turn off music entirely unethical for the soil

and it's which is an interesting choice because most shops are using music to manipulate behavior and so on this will surely home sales how is it that some external combination of musical sounds has like an emotional impact on human beings perhaps there are certain frequencies that are more harmonious with the way that our physical chemistry is taking my music and switching it from 440 hertz to 432 and like listening to the differences so on my record i definitely did that a certain tracks and some of the sounded and just felt more warm and like more brace a. half .

or. 2 experienced with the mafia a group of people who had never before listened to weston type of music they hear musical piece and the music really realise this is sad something that

seems to be partly universal in this rituals experience a craze of musical euphoria so we came up with this technology where we create music in a way that is physically very challenging we just fitness. i mean you already have a number of effects just specify just to music but when you actively do it. the effects are approximately. double the strong. in decreased during a song. which in chronic pain is huge furthermore we found some you

know logical effects where we find them on all sides concentration so the 1st barrier against infections and is increased off to the gym. we are basically rediscovering all these effects enough played a huge role in the development of human civilization. when we make music together we are truly and harmony. each player becomes part of a bigger whole. we feel good when we enjoy music and whether it's being played by an orchestra a rock band a samba class an ancient ritual or even a fitness machine the music we make also leads us back to ourselves to our bodies.

studies indicate we have a sense of music even before we begin to use words. one could almost say the human brain is wired for music. and music was a 1st project language problem but also in our development thurston's were 1st as sensitive to music and were 1st that doing music of musical sounds before understanding or it speaking like morse took to thames. so brantley for me is a project in which we are translating give by. activity in the brain into sound

we create music where motions so the emotions of the brain are translated into musical language part of this project is to provide people with different disabilities like cerebral palsy the opportunity to create music through the activity of their brain. circuits some of them here we can see the signal from a friend's brain in real time. this information gets analyzed which indicates if the emotion is positive or negative strong or neutral we can basically watch as it changes yes for that there was an old or the most. can be of no use to yes or no

and then you'll send this to me and we'll make music with the software or see how do you decide what music to play at each moment you know. some how we experience sounds is cultural. but there is also internet component. you know when we play notes the creator harmony is so much better than others and it gives us a sense of pleasure in this but if we play notes that have nothing to do with each other then it feels like this let me. jump in there but spend it on the code you generate depends on the activity since i feel good to get us that i mean the question is. we have now started to. starting to use sounds in different aspects in music in music at a technology that's a bad there is a lot of potential there and we're not yet using. the

field of music neuroscience is a relatively new research area. and yet we already have technology which can have a positive impact on people's lives now and new tools are constantly being developed. for music when i was 9 years old i chose the drums because i cannot just be a drama. i start church of the song and ever feel some day celebration. in the end the.

things. yes i mean expresses what i feel and it shows what i know i show it shows me off and especially my hearing loss. with the instrument itself you get a feel for the whole body through you get the vibrations different vibrations through the whole body. adam has a moderate hearing loss so it's very it's the varying levels of sound that he hears he does lip read a lot his personality started off quite shy but then he got into the drone and his

confidence started to build up because he's joined music in the death and goes to yorkshire musical he's also now helping all the children in the cloth because he feels that he's got more to offer. i think with music being able to communicate through music is a good way to challenge your energies through in order to. to to release the frustrations that you might have been not not being able to hear properly but the idea of music is to incorporate everybody you can be deaf you can be hearing you can be blind and you can still have the opportunity to play music and create something together as a whole. other members become a different person since you've been playing an instrument and to see him grow through music it is quite exciting as a parent to see. that gives him

a good start in life too to be able to express himself other i'm going to bring about. with all this to do tomorrow night profit. on. the club music list. the children at the club have varying degrees of hearing loss. they will be using

the new technological device for the 1st time ever to see how it effects how they experience music. each vibrating backpack will be connected to every instrument in the room meaning it should allow its wearer to also feel the other instruments more intensely when everyone plays together. like a taco audiovox that allows people to engage physically with music anything within the frequency range of $130.00 in the high end some love will be able to feel. in effect bring you closer to music. a lot of people are getting benefit from using it you know not just from a creation standpoint but also performance and putting across your music in the best possible way so people are feeling everything. to be able. to

do it. bit. oh do you believe he is going to be back. here with. us. so you know. you can feel the beat feel the rhythm feel the different vibration coming on the static so the get to it and get people back out here kids cacho

big bear moon j.b. vibration on the enigma shops it was like oh my chick on your back is hot so describe. i felt i could really hear myself. in the natural world every sound has an echo even if these are sometimes hardly perceptible. the echo is not without purpose and comforts us so what happens when

it's removed the anecdote chamber is well known for being a place it's kind of the silence of sound you might just disappears into the wall. the absence of echo and the anechoic chamber can feel unsettling 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2. and indeed if there were no sound and no echo our early warning system would not function but then you also have the immense silence if you shut up in that space

you'll start hearing sounds of your own body your brain is continually tweaking the it to make it for better. could we survive on another planet. in space sound and echo function in a different way. is the anechoic chamber light space it depends what your condition is in space gosh if you're on a spacecraft it's quite noisy. so it's not a crowded place space i suppose if you went outside the spacecraft another moment tricks fixation for you died i guess you would hear sol it's a bit like an echo chamber but i suspect the panic space surrounding you might mean that's not the last thing you'll be thinking about. every sound in some places in space if you go to venus or mars is now saying that the sound waves can travel now the properties are very different on those planets because they're not oxygen rich

. sounds a medium to trouble so in the absence of a medium there is no sound however it's all relative to what you define as space and what's within the space there's an entire spectrum of wave forms so you can use sonification techniques to represent audio in using any of these any of the state or any of these waveform i received these really wonderful sonification samples from these researchers at cern. the. sound of 2 black holes colliding.

this page on collider in geneva switzerland they have this huge accelerators so they basically put protons inside crush them together so now i can play it over the scale of. the alchemy project was commissioned by a popular science face eclair they contacted me like hey we want you to make a sound song out of all of these really cool sounds that were collected by these researchers. last. fall i.

see. a. little. music and the brain. it seems we may soon see many new technological devices that can enhance the quality of our lives through sound perception and that this could benefit not only individuals but also societies. the future of hearing is still on britain. but we are ready for it thanks to our ability and propensity for sound and music to. be still in the very beginning to understand what sort of effect we have no idea oh

so yes what you can do the song. becoming a little bit more self-aware about us as a musical species has got to be opposed to fit in how we're trying to show you i'm an individual items. i definitely feel like music will be in the future more into our bodies through the brain that we listen to it so what happens when you can. your emotional state by the click of a mouse there's probably a lot of good and also a lot of bad. and once we are able to really translate. all the knowledge that the real gathering into real instruments real tools
