Customer Reviews

one of my favorite books

This book is a stunning collection of writing - well researched, and highly thought provoking too. If you're a fan of music, or the study of sound in general - and how that relates to literally everything else in life - read this book. It's an over-abundance of knowledge.

Broadening perceptions via consious listening.

This is not a "How-to" book, but an incisive examination of the human aural capacity. The tenet of this work is that the human sense of hearing and thoughtful human interpretation serve to not only make sound meaningful but also an effective multi-dimensional tool of time and space. Tim Nevell has done a superb job of translation.I read this book back in 1994 and still remember it!
