Music affects consciousness because of two laws of physics. The first is called the Law of Sympathetic Vibration and the second is the Law of Entrainment. The Law of Sympathetic Vibration works like this: Take two acoustical (string-type) musical instruments such as a piano, violin, or guitar and place them near one another. As the string on instrument A is struck, the vibration from that instrument will resonate and carry across the room, striking the strings on the untouched instrument B and causing it to vibrate. Likewise, this law of physics describes the communication and transference of a song’s emotional message (harmony or melody) from the mind of the composer and its performers to the mind of the listener, thus causing the person to feel and take on the corresponding emotional essence of a song’s compositional intent (happy or depressed, peaceful or violent, hopeful or hopeless, and so on). Similarly, the Law of Sympathetic Vibration explains why a person gets goose bumps when listening to a song.
