The Science of Music
Jan. 22nd, 2007 12:21 pmWonderfully, the voice of the lecturer is opposite to the module he is teaching. Joy.
That said, it is almost a contradiction to learn about the science of music. Afterall, it has always been said that music is an art. Then again, it is human nature to attempt to neatly catergorise things, and file them away.
Hmm. Reminds me of Auditors of Reality.
I suppose music is something of a mix, a hybrid, for the lack of a better word. There are rules and regulations governing music composition. Then again, no one can really pinpoint why sounds played in certain frequency with certain wavelengths in certain order can be popular, or fade into obscurity in the many heaps of composers and performers.
On the other hand, there are things physicists do know. That certain frequencies are audible, and that what are comfortable to the human ear.
And he is playing music. I got to admit, this module is one of a kind.
