Can you recall a song or the way a loved one speaks to you? Do you hear it in their voice? Do you notice the instruments? Have you ever gone for a walk or jog while listening to music through your headphones? If you can remember or “hear” songs in your mind, why rely on external tools to generate the sounds?
While most people can recall sounds – voices, instruments, and more – these memories are often unfocused, blending with other sounds, visualizations or other senses. An external source helps focus it and filter out distractions. Similarly, monotone or repetitive sounds provide grounding and enhance focus.
What is melody
AI definition: Melody is a sequence of distinct pitches arranged to form a recognizable tune, focusing on what notes are played (horizontal, linear flow). Rhythm governs when and how long notes or sounds occur, organizing time through beats, accents, and patterns. While melody relies on pitch variation to create identity, rhythm structures temporal movement, often underpinning melody but existing independently (e.g., drumbeats).

- Inner monologue
- There are at least 3 variations of this skill in people:
– No inner monologue at all. No internal sounds/voices of any kind.
– No sounds/voices of any kind, but just the idea of a word/sentence/”thought”. For example – if you try to say something, but just before the sound is actually generated by your vocal cords, you stop – you have the idea of what you want to say, but no sound was produced – either external or internal. That’s the no-voice monologue.
– The ability to produce sounds – one or more voices, and/or sounds of instruments or objects.We’re counting only such abilities that feel effortless to do – not when focusing or putting a bit more effort is required to reproduce sound/voices
Individuals without an inner monologue are often highly focused and less prone to self-distraction. In contrast, those with an active inner voice (or any such auditory stimuli) may struggle to maintain focus, especially as the inner sounds becomes more pronounced. This constant stream of quasi-external auditory information can lead to overstimulation, making concentration more challenging.
[TODO] two types of effects on us:
– allows recall or semi-recall of past information
– creates more robust environment for our cells’ processes
Why music has effect on us
Music is fundamentally a pattern of sound vibrations. These vibrations, depending on their frequency, can potentially influence the structures our cells and their functionality, by allowing the quantum effects essential for their functions. The resonant vibrations may create a stable environment or amplify specific frequencies that align with cellular processes, aiding in their optimal performance.
Our surroundings are rich in vibrational energy. For example, crystals naturally vibrate at specific frequencies. These vibrations likely played a role in the evolution of early life forms by providing a stable and isolated environment necessary for the delicate quantum effects that underpin biological processes.
Music is just a sound vibration effect. Depending on its frequency it can assist our cells’ structures to maintain the quantum effects they need. The vibrations create a stable environment and/or a resonance effect that assist the cells’ goals. Our environment is full of vibrational sources – for instance all crystals vibrate on a particular frequency, which probably assisted in the ability of the early life forms to be able to adopt quantum effects that need really stable and isolated environment to be able to exist.
