Artist Notes:
an ode to the songs that make your spine tingle the first time you hear them. music is liquid, it moves, it flows … it crescendos + vibrates + drops. genres morph together and inspire the next to create something new. music also makes human beings incredibly nostalgic. Neuroimaging has shown that songs stimulate many different areas of the brain + give us a big hit of dopamine while they’re at it. We’re very good at recognising music that we’ve heard before, and associating it with certain memories. Scientists have even found that babies can do it from birth. Perhaps most crucially, listening to music lights up the brain’s visual cortex. as you hear a song, you’ll start associating it with memories or other images almost immediately.
