On repeat : how music plays the mind / Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis

by Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis

This study explores the psychological and perceptual mechanisms of repetition in music, from compositional motifs to earworms. It integrates neuroscience and cognitive psychology to analyse why repetition is essential to musical intelligibility and human communication.

brief_description
What is it about the music you love that makes you want to hear it again? Why do we crave a "hook" that returns, again and again, within the same piece? And how does a song end up getting stuck in your head? Whether it's a motif repeated throughout a composition, a sample looped under an electronic dance beat, a passage replayed incessantly by a musician in a practice room-or an "earworm" burrowing through your mind like a broken record-repetition is nearly as integral to music as the notes themselves. On Repeat offers the first in-depth inquiry into music's repetitive nature, focusing not on a particular style, or body of work, but on repertoire from across time periods and cultures. -- blurb
