Description
The Music Instinct: How Music Works and why We Can't Do Without it by Philip Ball The power of music has long fascinated humans, with all cultures creating music that reflects their unique experiences and emotions. But what drives this universal desire to make and listen to music? Recent research in music psychology and brain science is shedding new light on the complex ways our minds respond to music. In this engaging exploration, Philip Ball weaves together philosophy, mathematics, history, and neurology to reveal the intricate connections between music and our minds. From the intricate patterns of Bach fugues to the simple melodies of nursery rhymes, Ball shows how music moves us in profound ways. This book will not only deepen your appreciation of the music you love, but also open doors to new sounds and experiences that may have previously seemed alien or daunting.
