All of us who are acquainted with the piano know that the keyboard consists of a series of white and black keys.

The naturals, which make up most of the keyboard, are white, while the sharps and flats, which make up the rest of the keys, are black.

It was noticed that increased compression in MP3s led to a change in the “emotional characteristics” of various instruments. The research showed that motions considered neutral and negative (mysterious, shy, scary and sad) tended to be heightened, whilst more positive emotions (including happy and romantic) appeared to be diminished.
