 Anyway, music and emotions aren't necessary
connected. I'm sure you've 
all heard musicians who have remarkable technical mastery, but whose 
playing can only be described as emotionally cold. I think you've 
probably heard compositions, too, that could be described best as 
intellectual exercises in making complex patterns, and also lack 
emotional feeling.   
"_Impetus_" without emotion? Not the message of the music makes the
difference to a machine, the reason to make music makes the difference.

Why does "courtship dance" exist?

It's needed for reproduction.

Why does "trance" exists?

It#s required for self-preservation, healing, recovery.

Why does "..." exist?

Because it's a "function" of/for life.
