DUE CAPI  -  Music Instrument





Albert Einstein

"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger,  who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe,  is as good as dead: his eyes are closed... To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists,  manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms-this knowledge,  this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men."

Major Breakthrough:  Music's DNA Decoded   |   Wired   -   Eliot Van Buskirk   |   "Peter Neubäcker, the German music software engineer responsible for the popular pitch correction Melodyne, has created a program called Direct Note Access (DNA) that can dissect a chord into individual notes so that the chord can be re-formed into something new. For music producers who use computers — which is just about all ofthem — this constitutes a major game changer whose implications forthe future of music are deep and widespread"   |

"If outer space had sound, what would it be?   If you're composer Nolan Gasser, it would be a mixture of high-pitched violins, crashing cymbals, and low-pitched trombones.

    This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession
    by Daniel J. Levitin
    From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. 

    Think of a song that resonates deep down in your being. Now imagine sitting down with someone who was there when the song was recorded and can tell you how that series of sounds was committed to tape, and who can also explain why that particular combination of rhythms, timbres and pitches has lodged in your memory, making your pulse race and your heart swell every time you hear it. Remarkably, Levitin does all this and more, interrogating the basic nature of hearing and of music making (this is likely the only book whose jacket sports blurbs from both Oliver Sacks and Stevie Wonder), without losing an affectionate appreciation for the songs he's reducing to neural impulses. Levitin is the ideal guide to this material: he enjoyed a successful career as a rock musician and studio producer before turning to cognitive neuroscience, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a top researcher into how our brains interpret music. Though the book starts off a little dryly (the first chapter is a crash course in music theory), Levitin's snappy prose and relaxed style quickly win one over and will leave readers thinking about the contents of their iPods in an entirely new way.
