Create article draft: Music and Magic
Magic and Music

Music and Magic might have been one single concept in the original Proto-Indo-European language.

Mircea Eliade, in his book about Shamanism, sets an anthropological perspective into the reconstruction of our mythical original spirituality. Eliade differentiates between "magic of noise" and "magic of music" in that the first is used to expel demons and the second to lead the spiritual world: "The shamaninc drum is distinguished from all other instruments of the 'magic of noise' precisely by the fact that it makes possible an ecstatic experience." In contemporary musical terminology we would tend to think of both manifestations as "music" but Eliade points to a systemic differentiation of meaning. The irregular noise is used to break the connection between the demon and the possessed body, while the regular beat of the drum establishes a path for the ecstatic shamanic journey of ascension to the sky or descent to the underworld.

In the Introduction to his book “A Geometry of Music”, Dmitri Tymoczko discusses the analogy of “music as magic” as opposed to “music as language”. Of the two analogies presented, the reader is invited to think of music like a magic act, where the magician herself may not be so interested in an audience of specialists, who understand each trick; but instead, she really wants an audience that will be mesmerized by the experience. Assuming this analogy to be valid the author develops its consequences into some of the musical premises of his theoretical work.
