In which threshold has music made the biggest progress?
This is a very difficult question because music
We do know that it’s not before the sixth threshold. Animals before humans may have been able to make sounds, or melodies. But this is not really music, because humans created the concept of music.
Historians don't know exactly when music started. Mostly because they can’t find any proof of it. But it’s very likely that music has been around as long as humans have been around. So this means that Music started in the sixth threshold.
In the seventh threshold men went from hunting and gathering to an agricultural society. This caused that the people stayed in one place. Because of this the people could own more things, and people started writing. This is very important for the history of music because it's the first time songs could be …show more content…
People could listen to vinyl records or radio at home! This made music a lot more accessible. There were also huge changes in live music; microphones, speakers, improved instruments etc. All these new inventions made music what it is today. This is why I think that music made the most progress in threshold eight. A much bigger audience is able to listen to bigger artists and not just live music.
Is the complexity of music increasing or decreasing?
I think the complexity of music is not changing at the moment. I think a lot of people might think that the complexity is increasing. This was my first thought as well. Mostly because there are made new tunes and melodies everyday. This leads to tunes getting more and more complicated. But this doesn’t mean the complexity increases. The complexity only increases when the the “ingredients” are ordered in a way that in can do something new: Emergent properties.
Do we have to zoom in or zoom out in order to learn about the origin story of music?
Is there a link between origin stories and
