Feel the noise: how music connects us through place and history
Why does your hair stand on end when you hear some music? Why do some tunes stick in your head more than others? Music is an emotional language that allows us to express our feelings, our views on our personal and domestic lives, and our political and social outlook. We relate to each other through the music of our collective pasts and also create music that represents our current state and futures. Join Anna Reid as we travel the world through time and sound, discover how some animals react to music, and make some music of our own.
