[Music instead of furniture?](https://listium.com/@emiliab/87924/lms-and-parent-engagement-involving-families-in-the-learning-process/1/music-instead-of-furniture) Item ID: `1` - Done: false - Importance: - - Deadline: - - Sub Tasks: - - Notes: Before the twentieth century, people listened to music while sitting in the armchairs of theaters or philharmonic halls. No one could even think that these works could be listened to "passively" while talking to a friend or a pleasant lady. But in the twenties, the eccentric French composer Eric Satie created three similar tunes to be played during intermissions. The audience didn't understand what was going on - there was a call for intermission, but the musicians kept playing... So you have to stay in the hall? The composer had to run between the rows and urge people to talk, eat and drink without paying attention to the melody. He created music that would complement the space like furniture. That's why Satie's three tunes called "Hymnopedia" were called furniture music. A little later, Eric Satie suggested that couturier Germaine Bongar play his music in her store while customers made their choices. This is how one of the most powerful means of manipulation in the business world came about. ### 2. [Drop Your Money](https://listium.com/@emiliab/87924/lms-and-parent-engagement-involving-families-in-the-learning-process/2/drop-your-money) Item ID: `2` - Done: false - Importance: - - Deadline: - - Sub Tasks: - - Notes: By the middle of XX century in the U.S., using surveys found that consumers are more pleasant to shop where some lighthearted melody is playing. Since then, music unobtrusively sucks money out of you. If the tempo of the music is fast, the customer spends less time in the store, as if adjusting to the tune, but he spends more money than he planned. Music creates an atmosphere of haste - the customer quickly grabs goods and goes to the checkout. This music is often played during sales in the mass market. Small prices, crowds of people and energetic music turns the head of fashionistas and fashionistas. Slow music also helps to increase sales, but it works where the goods are more expensive: stores of cosmetics and perfumes, porcelain dishes, Italian textiles, fine alcohol. This kind of music puts people in a trance, immersing them in dreams of a rich life, just like on TV. ### 3. [Is background music also music?](https://listium.com/@emiliab/87924/lms-and-parent-engagement-involving-families-in-the-learning-process/3/is-background-music-also-music) Item ID: `3` - Done: false - Importance: - - Deadline: - - Sub Tasks: - - Notes: "As for me, my music is often put in the background of my videos, mostly by bloggers. I don't have a philosophy of my own because I just write what I like. I try to use something new and just trying out different directions, trying to do always better. A lot of people say that my music is like "fairy tale music" in some moments. I write in FLStudio, analyzing tracks of other composers, watching tutorial videos on YouTube and all sorts of sites. I gather information from all available sources, which I advise everyone who wants to start writing music to do. ### 4.
