Barney is giving a talk at the Archamps Convention Centre in France today for Seek Research about how different arrangements, styles and musical colours can affect emotions and conjure changes of mood. Using a world famous song by The Beatles, ‘Yesterday.’

The Arrangement explores many different musical styles from Opera to Gregorian Chant, Close Harmony to Power Ballad. There is even a little bit of Radio One’s top DJ Scott Mill’s favourite, Wing!
