The thrill

Frisson News

Montreal researchers have discovered that the pleasant experience that comes from playing music releases dopamine, an important neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and more tangible rewards such as food, Drugs and sex. The new study the Institute and Montreal Neurological - The Neuro - McGill University also found that even the anticipation of pleasant music releases dopamine [as is the case with food, drugs and sex]. The results, published in the prestigious journal Nature Neuroscience , argue why music, devoid of obvious value for survival is so important in human society.

Team Neuro measured dopamine release in response to music that creates a "thrill ", ie changes in skin conductance, heart rate, respiration and temperature correlated with the degree of satisfaction of music. The "thrill Music" is a well established marker of emotional peaks felt listening to music. A new combination of brain imaging techniques with PET and fMRI show that dopamine release is greater to listen to nice music versus music neutral, and that the clearance levels are correlated with the degree of emotional arousal and levels of satisfaction. We know that dopamine plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining behavior biologically necessary.

"These findings provide neurochemical evidence that the intense emotional reactions to music involving a former system of rewards in the brain," says Dr. Robert Zatorre, a neuroscientist at the Neuro. "This is to our knowledge the first demonstration of the release of dopamine reward as abstract music. Abstract rewards are largely cognitive in nature, and this study opens the way for future research on non-tangible rewards that humans regard as rewarding for complex reasons. "This groundbreaking study

, who used a novel combination of imaging techniques, shows that the anticipation and experience of listening to nice music release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain vital to strengthening behaviors necessary for survival. The study also showed that two different brain circuits involved in the anticipation and experience, respectively: one related to cognitive and motor systems, so the prediction, the other to the limbic system, so the emotional part of the brain. These two phases also correspond to concepts in music as tension and resolution.

Among the musical selections played by the voluntary study participants, there were several classical pieces, but Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin, Joe Pass and Misty. Finally! Scientific proof that the name of this blog is not usurped ...

Taxing Google to save the dinosaurs

Frisson News

In MIDEM (Marché international record and music publishing), Frederic Mitterrand, the French Minister of Culture and Communication, has revived the " Google tax, "Le Figaro reported here. "I want to be seen again making contributions of major players in the Internet," said the minister, saying they "are indebted to those who create, those who compose it, those who interpret and transmit cultural works. " "I do not accept our inability to leverage the staggering income online advertising that are made in France by actors often operating from territories fiscally attractive," he said, without specifying its action plan.

Taxing cows

And so, after coercion with the recent web laws designed to curb piracy in France, the music industry is now trying to save his skin recovering some of the huge profits earned by the giants of the internet! It is pathetic to note, once again, how this industry is not only unable to renew its business model, but continues to use its powerful lobby to influence governments! The logic is amazingly simple. Indeed, as the innovators of the Internet, Google , Facebook and company are sitting on mountains of cash, why not tax these cash cows to prop up declining sales of CDs and hide dirt and a lack of jurisdiction. And voila! Voila! Search

money ...

Oh! By the way, "Google tax" is a recommendation from the mission "Creation and Internet", chaired by Patrick Zelnik , which submitted its report to the Ministry of Culture. What was its mission? Improving the legal supply of cultural goods on the internet and pay creators. Who is Patrick Zelnik? He is the CEO of the label "Naive . As for the web laws, this project was initiated by Denis Olivennes , CEO of FNAC until 2008. Two players linked directly to the music industry "traditional". That door think, anyway.

Canada, pioneer or black sheep?

To this end, Canada is an exception. Considered a black sheep in some countries like the United States, the birthplace of the majors, he is regarded more as avant-garde in that it already has a legal framework for the music copied for personal use. In Canada, private copying is legal and does not constitute a violation of copyright. The reason is that, for the right to make copies for private use which is given to consumers, copyright holders inherent musical recordings are granted the right to remuneration in the form of royalties for private copying.

is the CPCC (Canadian Private Copying Collective), which represents songwriters, performers, music publishers and record companies, that is to say the all beneficiaries on whose behalf the royalties are collected. But the fees are outdated. It only applies to audio cassettes, the Mini-Discs and CD-R. The digital storage devices such as MP3 players and iPods are not secured. There would certainly need to amend the law to reflect the digital age for the benefit of the creators.

Vijay Iyer - Solo

CD Review

American pianist Vijay Iyer discussed in this video from his latest album entitled Solo . He compares the process of creating a solo album to astral travel, so we seem to see his own body from outside. Indeed, the solo performance is a formula for the most demanding jazz. It is a strip that requires a lot of confidence and humility to accept the surprises of improvisation. As this is a process that leaves little room for error, says Vijay, he offered the services of the best recording studio in the U.S. west coast. He said he was looking for a piano sound enveloping rather than striking, given the nature of this recording.

's Solo Vijay Iyer is penetrating at will, carving his path to the heart of the music. Solo begins with Human Nature Michael Jackson of , a tribute to the King of Pop, a piece he had also performed with his trio Festival de Jazz de Montréal in 2010 . Iyer takes the standard Epistrophy Thelonious Monk of , Darn That Dream of Jimmy Van Heusen / Eddie Delange then Black & Tan Fantasy and Fleurette Africaine of Duke Ellington . Part of Games Steve Coleman closes standards and demonstrates the range of styles and musical influences of Iyer. Added to these standards Iyer's own compositions, equally mastered. Vijay Iyer's solo is a memorable experience! This album has been named among the top 10 jazz albums of 2010 by JazzTimes , the Village Voice, PopMatters, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, the Detroit Metro Times, and several other publications.

I have a dream

Citation Frisson

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a holiday in the United States, declared to honor the birth of Afro-American Baptist pastor, non-violent activist the civil rights of blacks in United States. The pastor wrote the following speech to the Jazz Festival Berlin 1964. According Downbeat magazine, it is now established that Dr. King did not utter this speech there, but the text was only printed in the booklet of the festival. Here is the text in its original version.

On the Importance of Jazz

God has wrought Many Things out of oppression. He has historical creatures Endowed With The capacity to create-and from this capacity has flowed The sweet songs of sorrow and joy That Have Allowed to cope Man With Many historical environment and different situations.

Jazz Speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties, and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph.

This is triumphant music.

Modern jazz has continued in this tradition, singing the songs of a more complicated urban existence. When life itself offers no order and meaning, the musician creates an order and meaning from the sounds of the earth which flow through his instrument.

It is no wonder that so much of the search for identity among American Negroes was championed by Jazz musicians. Long before the modern essayists and scholars wrote of racial identity as a problem for a multiracial world, musicians were returning to their roots to affirm that which was stirring within their souls.

Much of the power of our Freedom Movement in the United States has come from this music. It has strengthened us with its sweet rhythms when courage began to fail. It has calmed us with its rich harmonies when spirits were down.

And now, Jazz is exported to the world. For in the particular struggle of the Negro in America there is something akin to the universal struggle of modern man. Everybody has the Blues. Everybody longs for meaning. Everybody needs to love and be loved. Everybody needs to clap hands and be happy. Everybody longs for faith.

In music, Especially this category Broad Called Jazz, There Is a Stepping Stone Towards all of thesis.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Opening Address to the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival

Of the order and meaning

can particularly remember the words of the pastor (my translation): "Modern jazz continues its tradition of singing the music of urban life more complicated. As life itself seems devoid of order and meaning, the musician creates order and meaning from the sounds of Earth that circulate by its instrument. " With respect to the senseless acts that have tested the United States recently, it is necessary to meditate on these words. If you read

Rabbit binary or ternary

CD Review

today I listened the last album pianist Yaron Herman , entitled Follow The White Rabbit . This reminded me a ticket for the friend Weasel , published here. Flashback. Stone Chocqueuse on Blogdechoc wrote: "Under the name of jazz music and niche parasitized by rock, techno, electro and have nothing to do with gender. The result is a plethora of mediocre records that are found at high speed among discounters. " Then, of course, one might ask. Since the last album of Yaron Herman, The White Rabbit , includes titles Radiohead and Nirvana , which are easily identifiable to the listener, a raw energy to breath, is what this musician is doomed to perish in hell?

Bunnies

age, especially as the style is reminiscent The Bad Plus, another group known for its covers of rock hits. The comparison is not innocent. For, indeed, the only jazz concert I attended where the participants had an average age under 30 years was that the group The Bad Plus . You should know that in 1982 the average age of the jazz audience was 29 years old when he was 46 years old in 2008, according to a study National Endowment for the Arts published in 2008. In addition, participation in performances of jazz has decreased by 58% since 1982, according to that study. A new millennium

binary?

Young jazz musicians are able to attract a new generation of fans despite the raging elitist prejudices against jazz. Not a small feat. Chocqueuse in stone adds a layer and claims that "The ternary rhythms do not seem to attract more these young musicians to distinguish carefully avoid starting what has been done before them. " Well, listen to Yaron Herman, I am sure he is able to play anything, binary or ternary. But seriously, Choqueuse, do you think young (and young at heart) who listen to his White Rabbit and attend his shows are asking this question?
