You know how their faces contort when hitting certain notes or rhythms? Why is that triggered in the face? Is it an emotional response? Communication by facial expression? Vestigial from some other process?

I always assumed they were just getting into it, assuming you aren’t talking about expressions caused by just playing the instrument in general (like with brass and wind instruments).
I was initially going to call it guitar face, but drummers make some wild expressions too. Though as a listener, I will also sometimes involuntarily make them too. Seems most of us aren’t immune.
