Thanks!
In there is mentioned the idea that music might be a supernormal stimulus (of attractive speaking patterns and voices) ... which is fantastic to me. Never thought of it that way, even though it's kinda obvious in hindsight given that it's widely accepted that we just like the sound of harmonious sounds. Supernormal stimulus is an interesting and compelling framing of it though!
