‘Ear-marvellous’: how to enjoy the music and sounds of the world that surrounds us

For me, the world is often auraculous or “ear-marvellous” full of noises, which, to cite Caliban in Shakespeare ’s The Tempest , “give delight and hurt not” Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that life without music would be a mistake.

But I’d expand the frame to include a wide variety of other human and non-human sounds.

The ancestors of all songbirds evolved from common ancestors that lived in Australia tens of millions of years ago .

They now account for about half of the roughly 10,000 species of bird worldwide.

Their brains, like those of many other songbirds, can process sounds about 10 times faster than ours.

Singing together, whether in harmony or unison, can benefit both young and old.
