How Music Does That
Series produced by Dale McGowan
How music communicates in an emotional language we don't even know we know.
Music — just vibrations in the air — can make you feel heartbroken or elated, peaceful or stabby, inspired to save the whales or to invade Poland. Join Dr. Dale McGowan as he explores how music from rock and pop to classical and film to nursery rhymes and video games does what it does.
