The Cognitive Continuum of Electronic Music, Hardback Book

The Cognitive Continuum of Electronic Music Hardback

Hardback

Description

The electronic medium allows any audible sound to be contextualized as music.

This creates unique structural possibilities as spectrum, dynamics, space, and time become continuous dimensions of musical articulation.

What we hear in electronic music ventures beyond what we traditionally characterize as musical sound and challenges our auditory perception, on the one hand, and our imagination, on the other.

Based on an extensive listening study conducted over four years, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the cognitive processes involved in the experience of electronic music.

It pairs artistic practice with theories from a range of disciplines to communicate how this music operates on perceptual, conceptual, and affective levels.

Looking at the common and divergent ways in which our minds respond to electronic sound, it investigates how we build narratives from our experience of electronic music and situate ourselves in them.
