Podcast on Hear here

After posting the little articles about music psychology (see previous post), the website Hear here from royal philharmonic orchestra and classic FM also posted a podcast in which Alex Lamont (at 6'25'') and I (at 8' 36'') are explaining a little about music and its influence on our moods. My piece was cut a little unfortunate, but basically what I am saying here is that people do not always want to be happy as the hedonistic theories claim we do, but they turn out to make themselves relaxed with listening to music. Something I also agree as to be a form of happiness, but a form of happiness that contains less arousal, and is therefore less tiresome to be in.
Especially in comparison with the perfect English accents of the host, my accent sticks out horribly, my apologies for that :-). Even more reason to compliment the host on his lovely pronunciation of my name.
Go to "this month", "podcasts" no. 10. to hear the complete podcast.
