DESCRIPTION:In this presentation, the physical and
  cognitive experience of speed in music is explore
 d. Organic to all cultures, music is not only an e
 mergent property of the timing mechanisms of the b
 rain (Craig, 2009) but also a manifestation of who
  we are, how we think and how we feel. The engagem
 ent of brain and body with sound reflects the temp
 oral functions of physical, cultural and personal 
 identities. Thus, much can be learned about anothe
 r by simply listening to their music.  Organic to 
 music is time; without time, there is no music. No
 netheless, the phenomenon of time with its broad i
 mplications in the sciences tells little about our
  experiences. The concept of speed, though, is ful
 l of enlightening character. Take some common term
 s to describe tempo in music: largo (broadly), ada
 gio (slow and stately), allegro (fast, quickly and
  bright), vivacissimo (very fast and lively). Spee
 d is relational and reveals aspects of how we thin
 k and feel. It is innately human.
