Music’s power to affect our emotions is one of its most essential qualities, but also one of its most beguiling mysteries. Just how do melodies lift (or lower) our mood? and why is it that certain chord progressions somehow lasso our feelings and drag them in-step?

I'm sympathetic to these arguments about how irreducible wholes exist, and are evident in our own experience. Still, I do think this view has empirical consequences.

One huge positive to away from Jorge Gutierrez retracting his deal with Amazon is that it showcased the raw power of the people’s voices against AI in media, and how truly resolute we are about the industry craft.

Wild week, but FAR from a loss in the end, thankfully.
