The theory of musical equilibration (in German: die strebetendenz-theorie or, literally, the tendency to strive theory) is a psychological theory that argues that music does not elicit emotion directly and that, instead, the listener "identifies with musically-encoded processes of will" and interprets them to produce an emotional effect.
"Music and Emotions - Research on the Theory of Musical Equilibration" is the English edition of the German publication "Musik und Emotionen - Studien zur Strebetendenz-Theorie" by Daniela and Bernd Willimek; it was translated by Laura Russell. The first part of the book addresses the main premise of the Theory.

Get the Theory of musical equilibration mug.The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is a horror-comedy musical released on December 24th of 2018, released by Team Starkid. The musical doesn't stick to a set classification of music, with a wide array of genres presented in a mere one hour and 52 minutes. It hosts a slew of on-stage special effects, and with songs and composition by Team Starkid member Jeff Blim, it is definitely something you'll want to look into.
The musical itself is a bit of a parody of the musical theatre genre, with pokes at "I Want" songs, character motivations, and more.
It covers the story of a man named Paul, who has a great distaste for musicals. His life carries on as normal until a meteor crashes into a theater in downtown Hachetfield, the setting of the show. This meteor begins to transform people from everyday citizens; to singing-dancing zombie hiveminds, that are out to make you join them, at any cost.
The show can be found on YouTube, completely free.
The show carries a large degree of swearing and adult humor, but is certainly a recommended pick for many. You can find more about the show on the Starkid Fandom Wiki, but beware spoilers!
