A Perfect Harmony
A melodic odyssey through the interwoven worlds of music, physics and mathematics From the earliest of civilisations, humans have found ways to make music, whether through makeshift drums or artfully drilled bone flutes. But how did music - effectively little more than a series of certain tones and rhythms - become so integral to the human experience? Untangling the curious links between notes and number, musical perception, psychology and physics, David Darling examines the fascinating science behind music, from its Palaeolithic origins to the present. Revealing surprising connections and busting pervasive myths, A Perfect Harmony asks: Why do musicians tend to be better at maths than non-musicians? Why do we find some pieces sad and others happy? Will playing Mozart to babies predispose them to genius? Could an AI write the perfect symphony?

Music and the Performing Arts in the Anthropocene
Music and the Performing Arts in the Anthropocene offers a series of thought-provoking chapters about music and the performing arts viewed from current Anthropocene-aware perspectives. From the use of gas, water and air in 19th-century stage practices to the ecology of musical instruments and sound reproduction technologies, waste and carbon print in experimental music and theatrical production, knowledge of precariousness and empowerment through music in a changing world, each chapter aims at highlighting an issue that has always been here but never looked at thoroughly, due to the divides and hierarchies of the modern cosmogony.Gathering 16 scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds (history of literature, opera and theatre studies, musicology, sound studies, sociology, information science, etc.), this volume reflects on the relationships between the performing arts, music and environmental issues. It also explores a number of tools for changes and sketches how we will understand the arts, their history and their future beyond ecocriticism.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the humanities and social sciences, as well as a broader readership involved in art and environment policies.

Little Notebook
Composed as the thesis for my masters degree in Pedagogy, these illustrated miniatures are greatly inspired by Stravinsky's "Les Cinq Doigts". Using the pedagogical approach of making music for 5 Fingers in the same position, the goal is to make great music with very little. Stravinsky did the same with his own cycle achieving a balance between pedagogy and art. Although they don't require a lot of movement on the keyboard, these pieces are quite polyphonic, which is a real challenge for the young musician. With a great variety of characters and atmospheres, from dreamy, to radiant, to hectic, these pieces are sure to capture your imagination. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Tirza Vogel, who drew the illustrations and made this book that much richer. It was a joy composing these little pieces and I hope they will bring amazement and awe to your inner child.
