Episode notes

Ellen says there are interactive dynamics built into the babies and parents communicate, which helps connect them strongly together. Part of the bonding is this givean take where the parent and child are actually shaping each other's emotions. Parents can't be constantly feeding and holding a baby to give them undivided attention all the time. The parent has to get some grown up stuff done. One tool for that was the lullaby. And even as we were first thinking about lulla as, it occurred to me that i knew someone who would really appreciate getting her hands on a really effective lullaby right about now. Ha, ha, ha. T's a very excited baby noise.

We hear a lot about “vibe” these days: Vibe check, a shift in the vibe, catching a vibe, don't kill the vibe. With the help of scholars and researchers Ellen Dissanayake, Connie Bainbridge, and Maria Witek we’ll define this feeling by drawing a fun, evolutionary line from the sweet sounds of baby talk and lullabies, all the way to adults vibing to the music they love. To put our findings to the test, musicians Phil Cook & Ally J help Saleem write a new lullaby, and DJ Zephyr Ann & DJ Rang demonstrate the power of experiencing “distributed emotion” through music.
