Reliving past heartbreak. Picturing a serene future. Imagining a fantastical scene. Across genres, music has an uncanny ability to carry us into distinct inner worlds.
In Transported, acclaimed music cognition researcher Elizabeth Margulis explores the phenomenon of musical daydreams--the vivid, spontaneous, emotionally charged images, stories, and memories we lapse into while listening to music--and argues that these everyday reveries offer a powerful and underappreciated window into how we think, feel, and connect.
Combining cutting-edge neuroscience, psychology, ethnography, and revelations from her own teaching and pathbreaking research, Margulis shows not only that musical imaginings are widespread and meaningful--but also that daydreams which seem deeply personal are often widely shared. Music can alleviate anxiety, ignite creativity, and foster connection in our increasingly fragmented era.
At a time when attention is perpetually under siege, Transported makes a powerful case for music as one of the last spaces where the mind is still free to wander--and reminds us that these wanderings are more meaningful and more important to our individual and collective well-being than we've ever realized.
