Wanneer mensen vroeger muziek wilden horen, moesten ze die zelf maken. En dat gebeurde in groep: zingen en trommelen kon iedereen, af en toe was er ook iemand die een fluit had. Maar optredens waarbij je echte muzikanten aan het werk kon horen waren zeldzaam. Vandaag is dat helemaal anders: we luisteren onder onze koptelefoons naar onze eigen muziek, alleen en de ganse dag door. Welk effect heeft dat op ons mens zijn? En is het een goed idee om je muziek aan te laten staan wanneer je in bed kruipt? Professor Marlies De Munck, muziekfilosofe aan de UAntwerpen, legt uit.
