I think the transcription in question was either by a Polish or Austrian person - which would probably account for it. I used to study music - but never came across this - so that can be my new fact of the day. That's what I like about OV - I'm always coming across new things or bands here. Amazing what you get out of this list.

It happens to be part of my profession (as I am an experimental psychologist studying the perception of music), so part of my task in this world is: to know and to put forward what I know. What exactly did you study in music: any kind of instrument, music theory or both? And was it professionally or as an amateur? The reason I like Del Amitri so much is that the melodies and chords are so deceptively simple, while at the same time so well-chosen. They sound as if one tone or chord more ore less (or changed) does indeed matter for how you perceive it (in terms of happy/sad, as well as tension/relaxation). So now you know how my work and my hobby combines ;-) Bye Erik - -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Erik Jansen Nijmegen Institute for Cognition and Information Spinoza Building, room B.01.28 mail address: NICI, P.O.Box 9104, 6500 HE Nijmegen, The Netherlands e-mail: ejansen@nici.kun.nl tel: +31 (0)24 36 16041 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------ End of oppositeview-digest V2 #47 *********************************
