  • Description: The article expands on Joseph Margolis idea of artworks as physically embodied and culturally emergent. More specifically, how music emerges from the “precultural” sound in which it is embodied. This emergence of music is shown to follow a similar route as the development of a “sense of self”, as proposed by Daniel Stern, thus substantiating what Margolis suggests is a “strong analogy” between the emergence of artworks and of persons. The common precultural source is vitality affect, which we suggest is best seen as a form of protomusic. This common source explains music’s aptness to emotionally reinforce cultural and individual identifications in human cultures around the globe.
