Hidden Charms - It's Time

The first step in entering Contemplation Spaces is diverting beholders from their day to day mind-set. To achieve this, Kettel & Secede composed layers of dissonant intervals upon a chaotic constantly changing rhythm structure. Research done by students at The University of Amsterdam shows the human brain controls its workload by detecting patterns. That explains for example why we can read only a few words of a sentence with our mind filling in the rest of the phrase. By using dissonant intervals (which consist of tones that don’t complement each other), and by using non-conforming rhythm and percussion elements, the mind has a hard time distinguishing patterns. While confused, 
the amygdala and hippocampus part of the human brain (responsible for processing emotions) are being stimulated. This arousal causes the mind to focus on the disconcerting composition, distracting itself from other stimuli and therefor creating focus.
