SUMMARY:The Jimi Hendrix Experience – a study of musical expression
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Milton Mermikides \n University of Surrey  \nWhy does some music hit us straight in the gut? Why can a single guitar phrase feel joyful\, unsettling\, or transcendent? \nIn this engaging and thought-provoking talk\, Professor Milton Mermikides unpacks the hidden mechanics of musical expression\, using the revolutionary work of The Jimi Hendrix Experience as his guide. Blending musical analysis with insights from science and psychology\, he reveals how structure\, sound\, and performance combine to shape emotional impact. \nFrom composition and harmony to tone\, timing\, and improvisation\, the talk explores how Hendrix’s music communicates far beyond words. It also examines how subtle performance choices can transform meaning\, turning a familiar piece into a powerful emotional event. \nThis is a talk for anyone curious about music\, creativity\, and why Hendrix still sounds so alive\, urgent\, and emotionally charged decades later. \nIf you are not already subscribed\, subscription is free and you will receive joining details and news about forthcoming Leading Edge meetings https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-leading-edge/
