According to research, we spend around 40% of our waking time listening to music, and 60% of our time we spend listening to music affecting our emotions and feelings. A piece of good music is more likely to put you in a good mood, and sad music is likely to help you spiral down into an abyss of despair. If we compare humans today with the troglodytes’ ancestors, we have a couple of things in common regarding music: our ability to create and respond to music and dance or move to the beat of time. Even babies can hear the mother’s heartbeat inside the womb. It is simply part of us. According to Ant, musicians must communicate effectively by conveying their feelings and emotions through music. Anthony understands how to transmit feelings through melodies and lyrics and make music that touches the listener’s emotions.
