I was speaking to someone who was telling me about a podcast about the neurological effects of music while under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms. They were saying that researchers began playing ârelaxingâ music, like classical, for the subjects of the study.
This kind of perked my ears up, because though Iâm not an expert in classical, I donât think of classical as ârelaxingâ most of the time. My experience listening to Haydn, Bach and Beethoven has been intense at times. I would not call it relaxing. They were arguing that I am looking at the âextremeâ end by saying that classical is not overall relaxing.
I think that saying âclassical music is relaxingâ is a generalization.
Would you say that overall, classical can be considered âpleasant, relaxing, softâ?
Thanks.
