In the 17th and 18th centuries, music was not just an auditory experience; it was a vivid and physical one. This historical perspective is the focus of a new academic project that seeks to explore how we might reconnect with that intensity.
The project raises questions about the emotional and physical responses music can evoke, suggesting that modern listeners could benefit from a more immersive engagement with sound.
As this initiative unfolds, it invites us to reflect on our own experiences with music and consider whether we should allow ourselves to be more profoundly affected by it.
