Abstract

"Of Sound Mind" by Nina Kraus is a book that explores the neurological aspects of sound and the ways in which it affects our perception and processing of information. The author emphasizes the active nature of listening and highlights the multidimensional aspects of sound, including its impact on sensations, movement, thought, and emotion. Kraus discusses the concept of the "sound mind," which refers to the brain's ability to process external sound waves and create meaning from them. The book also delves into the various ingredients of sound processing and their role in our neurological responses. Additionally, Kraus examines the connection between sound and health, including the potential benefits of music therapy for individuals with speech and language impediments. However, some critics argue that the book overlooks the cultural and socio-political dimensions of sound and fails to fully explore the concept of deep listening. Overall, "Of Sound Mind" offers groundbreaking research on the biology of sound and its relevance to our understanding of listening beyond the cochlear. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

The book review discusses "Blind Joe Death's America: John Fahey, the Blues, and Writing White Discontent" by George Henderson.

Author

Fries, David

Subjects
*TIME perception, *TEMPO (Music theory), *MUSICAL acoustics & physics, *AVANT-garde music, *DANCE techniques, *MUSICAL perception
Abstract

"A Musician's Guide to Time" by Rosemary Mountain is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between music and time. The book is divided into three sections, covering topics such as time as a foundational human subject, time in music generation and performance, and innovative concepts related to time. Mountain delves into various aspects of music and time, including tempo, rhythm, and musical structures. While the book primarily targets musicians, it also offers insights for general readers interested in understanding the connection between music and time. However, the book overlooks the influence of popular music and the impact of chemical states on time perception, which could be potential areas for future research. Overall, "A Musician's Guide to Time" provides thought-provoking observations and suggestions for further exploration of the complex relationship between music and time. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Roger Waters (co-founding former bassist/vocalist of Pink Floyd, generally considered to be Dark Side's chief architect): The first thing any of us hear is our mother's heartbeat - and that's what you hear first on The Dark Side of the Moon. Andy Jackson (longtime Pink Floyd and David Gilmour engineer and live mixmaster on shepherding the sound of The Dark Side of the Moon - Live at Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974): We had a lot of things to fix with that one. Richard Chycki (producer/engineer for progressive-leaning bands like Rush and Dream Theater, on what Dark Side did for the scope and promise of how bands recorded music in the rock era): The Dark Side of the Moon incorporated both musical elements and effects, and that was the perfect combination for its day. Nick Mason (Pink Floyd's drummer returns, to wrap things up and give us the final Dark Side cut): It's a wonder in a way that The Dark Side of the Moon came out so well. [Extracted from the article]

The book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of the influence of French music on British culture. [Extracted from the article]

10. New Media and the Rise of the Popular Woman Writer, 1832–1860.

Author

Robinson, Solveig C.

Subjects
*MASCULINITY, *CULTURE, *ART patronage, *SCIENTIFIC literature, *WOMEN authors, *SCIENCE in literature, *MUSICAL perception
Abstract

"New Media and the Rise of the Popular Woman Writer, 1832–1860" by Alexis Easley is a comprehensive study that challenges traditional scholarly analysis of women's relationship to print culture in the Victorian era. Easley examines the use and reuse of texts and illustrations by women writers in popular periodicals, volume publications, and scrapbooks. She argues that the rise of inexpensive magazines and weekly papers provided opportunities for women writers to publish their works, while scrapbooks allowed women readers to engage with and preserve these texts. Easley's work also highlights the importance of studying short verse and prose extracts in Victorian periodicals and reevaluates the literary success and influence of authors like Mary Anne Evans and the Brontë sisters. The book offers new methodologies for researching women's writing in the Victorian era and encourages readers to apply these techniques to their own research. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

The book "Physiological Influences of Music in Perception and Action" by Shannon E. Wright, Valentin Bégel, and Caroline Palmer explores the physiological changes induced by music on the human body, focusing on studies published since 2010. The authors discuss how music influences heart rate, respiration, and emotional responses, as well as its therapeutic potential in pain management. While the book provides a structured overview of the current research in this field, it acknowledges the inconsistencies in results and offers potential explanations for these discrepancies. The authors also highlight the role of familiarity with music in shaping emotional and physiological responses. [Extracted from the article]

Subjects
*VISION, *VISUAL fields, *SENSES, *VISUAL perception, *DEPTH perception, *MUSICAL perception
Abstract

I enjoyed reading both parts, as a vision scientist with a bit of experience in playing music, but especially part 2 on scientific studies on music that are quite tempting to try myself one day. I am less sure for the music scientists, but it would be good for them to see what sort of things vision scientists are up to, which hopefully could lead to more collaborations across these fields in the near future.

Abstract

A Phenomenology of Musical Absorption, written by Simon Høffding During his very productive philosophical life the founding father of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, mapped out the most important dimensions of the project and method of phenomenology. Høffding is focusing on the case of the successful Danish String Quarter (DSQ), on their experiences of being absorbed; something that, as the author states, "most of us have probably never experienced" (p. 238). Høffding's phenomenology-based topology and development on the embodied, habitualized and passive dimensions of expertise might indeed be very useful in this context. [Extracted from the article]
