Hello everyone. \n0:05 As a Japanese pianist, 32-year U.S. resident, researcher,\n0:11 and an activist promoting the power of music to heal and unite us,\n0:15 I am so happy to be here with you today. \n\n0:20 I am convinced that music is effective for our purposes.\n0:26 So why are we not seeing music being more utilized for climate action?\n0:32 That is because individualism and commercialism have disempowered music,\n0:39 leading us to discount its effectiveness.\n0:44 To effectively engage the power of music for climate action,\n0:48 we must first recognize some of the misconceptions we have about music. \n\n\n0:57 Before I start on the main topic,\n0:59 please close your eyes for just six seconds\n1:02 and listen to the following sound. (insect sounds)\n1:11 Would you call this music?\n\n1:17 Now, to the main topic:\n1:19 Let\u2019s start with our sense of hearing:\n1:21 how it is directly tied to our emotions and survival instincts\n1:27 Did you know that the brain processes sounds\n1:32 20 to 100 times faster than it processes images? \n1:38 What we see goes to the prefrontal cortex\n1:41 the part of the brain that deals with logic and attention.\n1:47 We think about the images we see,\n1:51 but sound is more emotional to us.\n1:57 What we hear skips the prefrontal cortex\t\n2:00 and goes directly to a more primitive part, the amygdala, \n2:04 which deals with emotions and survival instincts.\n2:08 An alarm gets us up.\n2:11 An explosive sound turns our head to the sound source.\n2:16 If the sound is really scary\n2:18 we may start running before we even know it.\n2:21 Sound is processed quickly by the brain\n2:25 because we are more likely to hear an approaching threat\n2:27 than to sense it with any of our other senses. \n2:31 Sounds travel far and wide, and\n2:34 penetrate or get around\/most materials that get in the way. \n2:38 We can hear from all directions,\n2:41 even when we are asleep. \n2:44 Compare that to vision.\n2:47 We close our eyes to blink and sleep. \n2:53 We can only see things in front of us,\n2:55 and even so, other objects may\/impede our line of sight. \n\n3:00 Now, let\u2019s put our hands on our chests.\n3:04 Let out a loud \u201cAAAHHH\u201d sound.\n3:11 Do you feel the vibration in your hands? \n3:14 This is the power each of us has\/to express, to connect, and communicate.\n\n3:24 Now that we\u2019ve established how essential sound is to us,\n3:27 let\u2019s talk about music as a universally human practice.\n3:36 Music is a social practice.\n3:39 We don\u2019t know of a civilization that existed without a musical culture. \n3:46 Communal experience of music \n3:48 synchronizes our pulse, breath, and even brainwaves.\n3:55 As social animals wired to cooperate and cohabitate for survival,\n4:00 we find this musical togetherness assuring and encouraging. \n4:05 Music reminds us that we share our time and space,\n4:10 and our fate with those around us.\n4:15 Being a part of a musical ritual\n4:17 makes us realize how we are a part of something bigger than ourselves. \n4:25 That is why every social movement in history has had its own songs and chants. \n4:31 Given this historical background,\n4:34 it seems obvious we should use music to motivate climate action. \n4:39 So why has it not succeeded yet? \n4:44 Because modern day attitudes towards music\n4:48 prevent us from leveraging its unique power \n4:52 Let me list a few for our purposes here with Tempo.\n\n4:59 Number one. \n5:01 Until recently in our history,\n5:03 music has always been a communal act. \n5:08 However, the invention of phonograph in the late 19th century\n5:11 and the following advancement of audio technology\n5:14 turned music into a solitary act. \n5:18 Today, we use earphones, headphones,\n5:22 smartphones and laptops to use digitized music \n5:25 as a wall against the rest of the world. \n5:29 What is that doing to our humanity? \n\n5:35 Number two.\n5:37 Commodification of music and musicians \n5:40 segregated active musicians from passive audience. \n5:46 It also proliferated presentational concert formats,\n5:50 and demoted communal musical rituals. \n\n5:54 Let me explain. \n5:56 There are two types of music:\n6:00 presentational and participatory. \n6:03 Presentational music is like a speech at an organized rally.\t\n6:09 It is given by a leader. \n6:12 It is meant to inspire awe. \n6:16 It is specific to the occasion,\n6:18 and is not to be emulated. \n6:22 On the other hand, participatory music invites everyone\n6:27 to take part as musicians and dancers. \n6:31 It is simple and repetitive in style. \n6:36 This would be the equivalent of \n6:38 chanting slogans and sing-alongs at rallies. \n6:42 The music industry devalues communal music,\n6:46 and worships a few marketed musical idols and their rhapsodies\n6:49 in presentational concert format.\n\n6:53 Number three. \n6:55 The power of active listening. \n6:59 Have you ever felt any power\n7:01 over the music you were listening to?\n7:06 It\u2019s probably like asking if you ever felt any power or influence\n7:08 over the issues discussed on world news. \n7:12 I assume the answer is \u201cnever.\u201d\n7:16 The sense of helplessness that demotivates us is\n7:19 perpetuated by our system of communication dictated by IT and the media. \n7:25 We experience a similar lack of agency\n7:31 when we listen to pre-recorded music.  \n7:34 The \u201clive\u201d concerts we do attend are held in massive concert halls\n7:37 and your meager presence is one of hundreds, or thousands. \n7:42 Even our reaction to the music is prescribed \n7:45 by the media, marketers, and \"influencers.\"\n7:52 As the music and the news are played at us in a one-way stream\n7:57 we have relinquished our power that lies in the act of listening.\n8:04 But in the practice of music as an innately human act,\n8:08 music without a listener does not exist. \n8:11 Just as beauty is in the eye of a beholder,\n8:15 music is in the ears of its listener. \n8:19 Music is communication. \n8:21 The root of music is our human desire to understand and to be understood. \n8:28 Music is not a commodity to be consumed,\n8:31 but a practice to savor\/the here and now, together. \n8:36 As a way to practice music, listening is just as important as \n8:41 composing and performing, if not more. \n\n8:45 Now, let\u2019s go back to listening to that six-second sound sample from earlier. \n(INSECT SOUNDS)\n8:57 Is this music to your ears? \n\n9:04 In the 1970\u2019s, Dr. Tadanobu Tsunoda published a paper claiming that\n9:07 native Japanese speakers processed insect sounds\n9:09 in the same brain region as language,\n9:13 whereas speakers of other languages largely processed it as noise.  \n9:19 His popular publication received some criticism over his employed methods,\n9:27 but his son is continuing the study with updated methods today. \n9:34 Regardless of the accuracy of Dr. Tsunoda\u2019s study,\n9:37 Japanese culture cherishes soundscapes more highly than American culture. \n9:44 For example, in Japanese tea ceremony, the sound of water being boiled and poured \n9:48 as well as the tea being whisked are all considered a part of the hospitality. \n9:53 Can Westerners appreciate insect sounds\n9:55 as music, or even language, too?\n9:59 Apparently so. \n10:01 In British Columbia in the 1960\u2019s,\n10:05 a new musical genre called acoustic ecology started using sounds to\n10:09 study the relationship between humans and their environment. \n10:16 They uncovered symphonies of nature and man-made sounds \n10:18 which revealed the loss and damage that we cause our environment. \n10:24 This is a good reminder of the importance of listening. \n\n10:29 The domination of presentational music is a result of the Western individualism. \n10:34 I spent much of my musical career fighting to defy the Asian female stereotype\n10:37 as submissive, demure and inconsequential,\n10:42 by pursuing my own unique musicality.\n10:48 Studying neuroscience relieved me of that pressure. \n10:55 When I realized that music exists to help us appreciate our interconnectedness,  \n11:01 I could hear the music again. \n11:05 When you are shouting all the time,\/you cannot hear the world around you. \n11:11 So, let us start listening to\/the music of our world around us,\n11:14 and join our voices\/in harmony and solidarity. \n\n11:19 Music encourages us in our connection and humanity.  \n11:23 To that end, let us consider why\n11:25 music is essential to our humanity,\n11:27 and why listening is essential\/to our appreciation of our interconnectedness,\n11:32 so that we can be stronger together as we develop TEMPO. \n11:37 Thank you for listening.  \n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"443\"
