...exploring the laws of physics through science and music to directly enhance your life...
|
| For over four decades the author (director) has been interested in music as much as a science as an art. This research project encapsulates the journey that has unfolded with a synthesis of events, theory, practice, people, academic analysis and personal reflections. |
| Part 1 describes the evolution of events that drew him into the area from early childhood, intimately integrated with so many of his life's tapestry of experiences. Pythagoras, Galileo and other giants of the area are fused in the story with personal family experiences in music with an emerging awakening of the immense and ancient literature on the topic that is augmented with modern perspectives and technologies. |
| Part 2 gets involved in the maths and physics of music, in the context of how things are relevant to the new perspectives of the topic in the 21st century. |
| Part 3 discusses how our increasing knowledge of brain function is relevant to our interaction with music; in particular the role of memory and the activation of the mind and body. |
| Part 4 extends into biological phenomena and the biochemistry and physiology of music, both in humans and also in other species of the animal kingdom. |
| Part 5 returns to humans by discussing the wide scope of the social processes within which music can interact in a measurable way. |
| Part 6 explores music and consciousness and how it can play a role in gaining understanding of both areas and their synergistic interaction |
| Part 7 looks at how music can be used in practical applications - it covers many fields of music enterprise: music performance professionals, serious amateurs, hobbyists, casual listeners, even the amusical get a mention - and finishes with different approaches to the business of music |
| Part 8 concludes that the mystery of music is likely to never be contained in robust theory and will continue to be an ultimate emotional and spiritual phenomenon for homo sapiens. |
