MUSICOPHILIA
The music is a bridge across the abyss, it is often the final means of human connection, our closing form of comfort. It is what we have when we have nothing else.
In this brief video the writer-doctor/ Neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks discusses his book, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain an investigation into the strange power of music to transform our bodies, minds and souls right down to the neurological substrate on which all lived experience rests. And plays a little Chopin, too. Notice the Periodic Table sofa cushion behind Robert Hilferty’s right elbow.
