Does the reality of sound have a chance to define our longing for the answer outside of our selves as the answer from something bigger that we know we are part of?.
The Acoustics of the human body and the resonance frequencies generate electricity. But this generation may be occurring because we are alive and in the circumstance of existance in the world that gives us this energy. Would there be some way to synthetically simulate this, well then the whole question would be answered and the reality of sounds and their physics could open up totally new dimensions of our emotional search for the answer.
As seen in the movie TRON there exists some frequency of human perception that may build the world of it's making to later on enter into that world and experience the same reality of being alive but on a larger and more stimulating level.

BLUES MUSIC as SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT to observe any cognitive responses to the reality
of sounds as arranged in some specific way that defines the SAD REALITY of HAVING no chance
to define the INCLUSIVE CHARACTER of our questions and answers about being alive.
Some group of students of physics related to sound, started an experiment in the 60's using computers in New Orleans
that would be the DIGITAL JAZZ of the future ,with the rythm as perfect and the beat as perfect, in fact totally scientific
in it's approach to the mathematics of the wave lengths of everything to do with the human body and it's responses
to sound as answering the age old question about "the meaning of existance".
The setting would be New Orleans because it was tightly populated by black JAZZ musicians, to observe if any
of the musicians would sense that the music was not natural, rather artificial. Noone have as yet answered this
question, so the disclosure of it is stated here.The search was on for the electricity of the human body as the
driving force in the sense perceptions of the human body and how it could aquire more energy by perception
of sound physics.
We might be more electronic than we think.

I remember one afternoon I was sitting in my college dorm room, listening to some music over my sub-woofer boosted speakers as I often did when I was procrastinating doing my homework, when suddenly my roommate burst into the room and paused as he took in the sound that was stemming from my Winamp MP3 player.
“Why are you always listening to this sad garbage??” he harangued. “This depressing crap is your favorite kind of music!”
He was kind of right. I was always listening to sad music. Not literally always, of course, as there were plenty of upbeat tunes across an array of genres that would play at any given time. But I was particularly drawn to the somber side of things. Not that I was a particularly sad person – I was friendly and liked to have a good time with my dorm-mates, and I wasn’t sitting around sobbing myself to sleep morosely in the corner all the time or anything. So why was I magnetically drawn to this music that was so often mired in misery?
If you’re into the blues – and if you’re reading this blog you probably are – then you yourself are no stranger to musical heartbreak and gloom. We enjoy music full of angst and existential despair, gravitating towards musicians that sing of heartache and misfortune. When it comes to music, we got the blues, baby.
I just recently came across an article by Melissa Dahl in New York Magazine that shed some light on our predilection for musical misery. And guess what – science is on our side! Our penchant for depressing dirges is a shared human tendency rooted deeply in the way we relate to music on a fundamental level. It even has health benefits! As Dahl writes, “The authors say that melancholy music helps with emotional regulation — that is, it helps us process our emotions by prompting reflection and contemplation — and that this study could provide the groundwork for new ways to use music as therapy.”
The ancient philosopher Aristotle believed that the reason we enjoyed tragedy as a dramatic art form was to purge ourselves of the negative emotions that we ordinarily harbored deep inside of us. One could expect a similar line of reasoning when it comes to sad music: we listen to sad music so we can experience deep sadness and then banish such feelings from our soul. But the funny thing about it is, the research shows that downhearted music doesn’t just make us feel sad, as one might expect. Rather, it taps into an entire range of emotions. Dahl notes that some of these include, “wonder, transcendence, peacefulness, and nostalgia. (Nostalgia was the most frequently mentioned emotion)” and these are referred to as “sublime” emotions.
And the sublime, after all, is almost the opposite of how we feel when we feel sadness: the sublime is what we find inspiring, moving, uplifting, and transcendent. Indeed, the great 18th century enlightenment philosopher Kant wrote much on the relationship between aesthetic experience and the sublime, although he associated the sublime with our interaction with awe-inspiring nature rather than with art, which was merely the realm of the beautiful.
The study from PLOS ONE is not the first investigation launched by science into the moody terrain of melancholic music. A New York Times article pointed me in the direction this study from last year published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology which found that sad music induces pleasant rather than negative emotions. The abstract from that study explains, “The results revealed that the sad music was perceived to be more tragic, whereas the actual experiences of the participants listening to the sad music induced them to feel more romantic, more blithe, and less tragic emotions than they actually perceived with respect to the same music.”
My experience of sad music largely coincides with these findings. Not always, of course. I can distinctly remember a time, after an excruciating breakup with a romantic partner, I was out walking by myself in a park in Inwood, Manhattan, an isolated spot in the city that feels light years removed from the busy, bustling streets of midtown, when a song about a couple splitting up came on my iPod. It made me begin to sob and it was one of the saddest moments of my life. And maybe it was a Kelly Clarkson song. Please don’t tell that to anyone. But blues music and other sad music in general doesn’t give me the blues, but rather raises me up, invigorates me, and uplifts my soul. I don’t listen to the blues to wallow in depression, but rather to feel the sublime emotions that great sad music engenders in me.
Sound is caused by something emitting energy in the form of a vibration. Areas of high and low pressure move outwards creating a form of longitudinal wave (a wave which vibrates in the direction of travel)
It is called acoustics. From Wikipedia [1]: Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound
Sound is produced when something vibrates. The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) around it to vibrate. Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.
So then, the blues music has been translated into science as a scientific experiment that uses all the characteristics of sound as
1) aucoustic
2)vibration
3)medium
The sound science as expressing the inner human 1,2,3 responses to there being "something more".

Acoustics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician while someone working in the field of acoustics technology may be called an acoustical engineer. The application of acoustics is present in almost all aspects of modern society with the most obvious being the audio and noise control industries.
Hearing is one of the most crucial means of survival in the animal world, and speech is one of the most distinctive characteristics of human development and culture. Accordingly, the science of acoustics spreads across many facets of human society—music, medicine, architecture, industrial production, warfare and more. Likewise, animal species such as songbirds and frogs use sound and hearing as a key element of mating rituals or marking territories. Art, craft, science and technology have provoked one another to advance the whole, as in many other fields of knowledge. Robert Bruce Lindsay's 'Wheel of Acoustics' is a well accepted overview of the various fields in acoustics.[1]
The word "acoustic" is derived from the Greek word ἀκουστικός (akoustikos), meaning "of or for hearing, ready to hear"[2] and that from ἀκουστός (akoustos), "heard, audible",[3]which in turn derives from the verb ἀκούω (akouo), "I hear".[4]
The Latin synonym is "sonic", after which the term sonics used to be a synonym for acoustics[5] and later a branch of acoustics.[6] Frequencies above and below the audible rangeare called "ultrasonic" and "infrasonic", respectively.
