Techno, trance and the countless other forms of electronic music divide opinions: for some it is simply ‘pumping’ sound, sounds from the computer, as arranged by the German cult group Scooter in often very creative lyrics, are for others a mental wellness – and recovery program. Spanish scientists have measured exactly which processes trigger electronic sounds in our gray cells.
Anyone who puts on a Scooter classic, whether it’s the evergreen ‘How Much is the Fish’, the techno anthem ‘Nessaja’ or the ‘Logical Song’, is exposing their brain to relatively high beats per minute. About 140 beats per minute (bpm) is the usual tempo for many songs by the German cult techno artists, meaning that more than two beats per second penetrate the listener’s eardrums and into their brain in the form of low-frequency sound waves. .
