Daniel Levitin - Your Brain On Music

Daniel Levitin, Author of 'This is Your Brain On Music' studies how the brain makes sense of music and how it responds to it. Our brain is a music machine, with music engaging nearly every region of the brain. Watch to see Daniel's musical experiments.

He's wrong again. In the Beatles track you can clearly hear the cello notes and rhythm , 3 notes, the chord structure, the 3 voices and the word 'I'. And if you have my ears and brain, the pitches also give it identity.

[@qjcomposer]

What are you talking about? Of course there's pitch in the Beethoven.

[@tonyl4264]

Yeah he can't say it has no pitch. I heard a physics prof claim something similar about short bursts of some types of noise. What they mean is it has no absolute pitch, no distinguishable pitch that can be agreed upon outside of the relationship to the other pitches. So I guess it has relative pitch but not absolute pitch and yes for him to say that song is without pitch is incorrect

[@tamarameinecke4282]

Yeah, I thought that was unfair too. And same with the Beatles -- stuff was happening down there in bass clef land.

THIS IS SO CORRECT
