"The Origin Of Music Likely Stems From Natural Sounds And Rhythms The Human Heartbeat The Songs Of Birds The Rustling Of Wind Through Trees The Thunder And Sound Of Rain The Dripping Of Water In A Cave The Crackle Of A Burning Fire And The Sounds Of Waves Breaking On A Beach Or Bubbles In A Brook. Man-Made Music Echoes These Soundscapes Using Patterns Repetition And Tonality." "A Core Principle Of Music Is Repetition. It Appears In Runs Trills And Stanzas As Well As In Pounding Rock Rhythms And Dance Music.
People Dancing In Clubs And Waltz-Halls Commonly Go Into Trance-Like States. Music Rhythm And Repetition Have A Hypnotic Effect That Can Lull People Into Following A Pattern In Unthinking Ways." "Repetition Of The Material Of Music Plays A Very Important Role In The Composing Of Music And Somewhat More Than In Other Artistic Media. If One Looks At The Component Motives Of Any Melody The Successive Repetition Of The Motives Becomes Apparent. A Melody Tends To "wander" Without Repetition Of Its Rhythmic And Pitch Components And Repetition Gives "identity" To Musical Materials And Ideas. Repetition Is Also Used In Chord Progressions And In Patterns Of Dynamics And Timbre. Whole Phrases And Sections Of Music Often Repeat." Studio Setup MAGIX Music Sequencing
