Thread Name: The Music of the Future?
Subject: RE: The Music of the Future?
Music is wonderful, but it's not the religion of humanity. The religion of humanity is Love. However, primitive music is a great uniter of people and builder of community. I think chanting is the most powerful primitive music of all, because it engages the voice and whole cardiovascular system in the most complete way. It engages more emotion than percussion alone.

Children have a natural gift for primitive music, and so do many animal species. Water and wind also make music of a sort.
