Attending a live music performance can reduce a person's levels of stress hormone cortisol, a new study has shown.

Researchers studied 117 volunteers attending two concerts of music by composer Eric Whitacre at recent events.

The volunteers provided saliva samples before the performances, and then again during the interval an hour later. Testing the samples for levels of cortisol and cortisone, researchers recorded across-the-board reductions in the second samples.

Cortisol is produced by the body under physical or psychological stress.  It can have a positive effect in small doses, improving alertness and well-being. However, chronically elevated cortisol levels can worsen medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and impotency.

"These results are in line with 22 previous studies showing that listening to music in the controlled setting of either a laboratory or a hospital can reduce cortisol levels," researcher said.

"It is of note that none of these biological changes were associated with age, musical experience or familiarity with the music being performed. This suggests there is a universal response to concert attendance among audience members."

However, they noted that the study focused "solely on the effects of relatively calm, classical music; more research will be needed to ascertain whether other genres of music elicit different effects or whether attending other types of cultural events has different endocrine impact.

"Nevertheless, this study opens up the question of how engaging with music and the arts in cultural settings can influence biological and psychological states and, consequently, the potential of cultural events to enhance people's broader health and well-being."

Duncan Daniels as you've NEVER HEARD HIM. He has the ability and talent to produce great music, as we all know but this song takes you to the “love island” like Sade would set you on sail.
Easy, sexy music that you can sink into. It grabs you immediately and pulls you in!

Duncan has mastered the key to making a successful love song that passes a clear and concise message, making the audience (women in this case), feel that the song is solely written for them, and always assuring them of love that knows no end. With no surprise Duncan Daniels manages to make a beautifully written ballad that’s fresh, yet uncontrived”.

The Ghetto Kids need no introduction. But here goes; The kids first came to light when they featured in Edris Musuuza (Eddy Kenzo)'s Sitya Loss music video, 2014. According to them, 2014 is a year they will never forget.

They danced to the song that translates into "I don't fear defeat", with no fancy costumes and no care in the world. They were themselves in a way only kids can be - dropping into splits, crumpling and even perfecting deadweight drops, all in endearing dance moves.

A composer by the name of Jim Wilson has recorded the sound of crickets and then slowed down the recording, revealing something so amazing. The crickets sound like they are singing the most beautiful chorus in perfect harmony.

"I discovered that when I slowed down this recording to various levels, this simple familiar sound began to morph into something very mystic and complex ... almost human." 

This recording contains two tracks played at the same time: The first is the natural sound of crickets played at regular speed while the second is the slowed down version of crickets’ voices.

“This turns out to be a recording of crickets slowed down by Tom Waits, an approximation of what they might sound like if they lived as long as humans. “What you hear is like human voices, or choirs from heaven,” Wilson says.” – The Guardian

The program format lets viewers vote for contestants via mobile apps. The Turkish version has been running for years and EMU Graduate, Chuchu Movain has steadily risen in it's ranks to become a very popular contestant in Turkey
