Do Dogs Like Music?

Against the conventional wisdom that music is a uniquely human phenomenon, ongoing research shows that animals actually do have the capacity for music. But rather than liking Classical or Techno, Snowdon, an animal psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has discovered that animals march to the beat of a different drum altogether. They enjoy what he calls "species-specific music": tunes specially designed using the pitches, tones and tempos that are familiar to their particular species.

Humans like music that falls within our acoustic and vocal range, uses tones we understand, and progresses at a tempo similar to that of our heartbeats. A tune pitched too high or low sounds grating or ungraspable, and music too fast or slow is unrecognizable as such. To animals, human music falls into that grating, unrecognizable category. With vocal ranges and heart rates very different from ours, they simply aren't wired to enjoy songs that are tailored for our ears.

The Chemical Brothers - Don't Think

For more information about the official release of the new concert film 'Don't Think' on DVD & Blu-ray, you can check out this link  http://smarturl.it/TCBDontThinkRelease.

Hotels Must Pay Music Royalties In Europe

Different hotel federations  have described as outrageous a recent law from the European Court of Justice that hotels should pay royalties for the broadcast of music on TVs and radios in hotel bedrooms. Personally, I believe it would generate extra costs on the hotel guests, and its implementation is a very bad idea.

EU law provides for remuneration for those who produce recordings for commercial purposes, but allows for exemptions for “private use”. The court considered whether such broadcasts in hotel bedrooms were private or public use.The case will now go back to the High Court for a decision based on the interpretation provided by the European Court of Justice.

I ♥ Techno

Loyal readers of Electro WOW, since two days ago, I have fallen in love with Techno music. I just realized it is as cool as House music, and from now on I will support the genre on my blog. It is not easy to find good uplifting Techno songs these days, because it's sadly that most of them are influenced by the boring minimal sound. However, I will try to do my best by researching good tracks and remixes. Keep in mind, that there is always a rainbow after the storm. 

So, what is Techno music?
Techno is generally repetitive instrumental music produced for use in a continuous DJ set. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note.

                                                  Warning! This is a great example of Techno music↓
