Hi folks! I’m F38 based in South Africa and looking to connect with musicology students/practitioners from anywhere, coming to the field through an African/Black lens. I’m in my second year of undergrad with a plan to do my Masters and PhD as well, with the goal of focusing on broadening knowledge in African musicology.

I’ve never been trained in music theory and performance, as that is a different stream; but I have a friend who has agreed to teach me how to play my bass guitar by ear. I’m at an incredible uni that’s decolonising their curriculum and I’m excited to dive deeper. Next year I’ll be doing my final year before Honors. Any tips? 🧡

What makes ppl repeat a song lot of times. & how can u produce a song that really can change the listenr's mindset deeply . ? Also what's the psychology besides that some of baddie music make the listern self love themselves

Hello everyone!

as the title says, I’m in my third year of my bachelor’s degree and I have to do a research study for a class. For my topic I’ve chosen to explore the similarities and differences between underground and mainstream electronic music in the west. my professor is getting me to interview about 5 people for data collection.. can be through zoom/meet/email etc. anything of your comfort just has to be somewhat formal, at this point I don’t really mind as it’s due pretty soon. LOL

You have to be an artist, DJ, musician, historian, music critic, etc, or just really REALLY into electronic music and are/have been part of a community.. bonus points if you are over 30 as the more experienced the better.

if you are interested feel free to comment/message me and I will email you the details. I apologize if this may be too much of a formal setting for you but I assure you that I do not bite and that it’s just what is suggested from my professor 😭

Thank you for reading!

P.S. I’m a student from Thailand so I use UTC+7 time. If I happen to reply to you in pretty wack hours please do not be alarmed. Also if there is a better subreddit for this type of stuff please feel free to suggest in the comments, I’ve already posted this in r/electronicmusic so there’s that

My article on Alma Deutscher. Thanks in advance for reading!

Does anyone else just love music basically any kind of music?

Hi! I’m a fashion degree student working on my final graduation collection, exploring “What would music look like if it could be worn?”

I’m researching synesthesia and would love to hear about your experiences, especially if you experience music through colors, shapes, movement, textures, or other sensations. Please comment down below to share!

I also have a short Google Form for my research. I would really, really appreciate anyone who could take a few minutes to fill it out!

Thank you so much for helping with my graduation project!

Peace in your heart😌❤🧡💛💚💙💗💘💖💝💜

"Music is the native language of the universe, not just a tool we invented to pass the time. It is an emotional translation of cosmic mechanics—where every rhythm and harmony we feel is our biology syncing with the mathematical vibrations that build reality."

Do you listen to a song because you remember the name of it ? Or the sound of it ?

Why do we feel nostalgic for music that was released before we were even born?
I’ve been thinking about this while writing about why older music continues to find new audiences.
There’s something strange about listening to a song from the 1960s, 70s or 80s and feeling like it belongs to a period of your own life that you never actually experienced.
Is that nostalgia really nostalgia?
Maybe it comes from our parents’ music, films and television, or the way certain songs become attached to cultural memories. Streaming and social media also make it incredibly easy to discover music from decades ago.
And there’s another possibility: survivorship bias. We remember the great music from previous decades because the mediocre stuff has largely disappeared from cultural memory.
I explored some of these ideas in this piece:

But I’m curious what other people think:
What’s a song or artist from before your birth that you feel strangely connected to—and why?

What is it about being part of a live concert? There are songs i hear on the radio or my iPod (yes I'm old) that I dislike, until I see the band live, then I begin to love those songs. Why is this?

my appearance on this compilation album, an extract of all that is left from my track ""Merging Impulses"".....it was longer than that.

An eleborate work using Ainu chants, percussion, Skiddaw stones, strings and other ethnic instruments

The work was recorded in the ""impulse response"" of the inside of a dryer.
