Bobby McFerrin... awesome...
That was cool.
The performance by the audience was as interesting as the performer's.
I guess somethings are hard-wired into us.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
That's a great example of the anticipation factor. The last GN colab we did had a spot towards the end of each section where the tune, if it had followed suit, was supposed to change chords. It just kept on going on the chord it was on for what seemed like an eternity, but was probably only one or two measures long. That build up in anticipation could actually trigger anxiety from what I understand, and can easily imagine.
There are two songs I played the other day. Both songs from Pink Floyd's, "The Wall". "Mother" and "Nobody Home". Both songs end not on the song's key, but in mid chord progression. Waters used anticipation and not fullfilling the anticipation on the listener as some form of statement, I guess.
Anyhow, thanks for posting this, Nuno. It was kewl. 8)
