The Power of the Pentatonic Scale


Bobby McFerrin in "World Science Festival 2009" (Notes & Neurons) [fully!]

Just now watching some of the full one. Long, so I won't get it all in tonight.

Nice clip. I'll load up the long one later tonight and watch it.

If you haven't watched much yet, Bobby mentions a Miles Davis experience. Made me think of you since you've been posting some of his stuff lately.

That was amazing. Funny thing is I just finished a recording session with a blues harp (pentatonic scale).

Big burst of dopamine production

Sounds about right.

Having now seen this video in its entirety, this is a great lecture. When it goes into the Indian classical rhythms and scales, my brain gets really happy.

Cool. I'm looking forward to the rest. Haven't gotten too far past the 'dopamine' yet.

Good, but I was hoping for more of the science.

Me too. I still enjoyed the lecture though, so thank you for posting it.
