The Science of Music - How Technology has Shaped the Evolution of an Artform

Andrew May

Beschreibung

Music is shaped by the science of sound.

How can music - an artform - have anything to do with science? Yet there are myriad ways in which the two are intertwined, from the basics of music theory and the design of instruments to hi-fi systems and how the brain processes music.

Science writer Andrew May traces the surprising connections between science and music, from the theory of sound waves to the way musicians use mathematical algorithms to create music.

The most obvious impact of science on music can be seen in the way electronic technology has revolutionised how we create, record and listen to music. Technology has also provided new insights into the effects that different music has on the brain, to the extent that some algorithms can now predict our reactions with uncanny accuracy, which raises a worrying question: how long will it be before AI can create music on a par with humans?

Beauty of the Human Form

Mike Blake

This Poem is Titled 'Beauty of the Human Form.  ::  
It is a poem about the never ending fascination of People with the Human body. 
Some might say, its in our DNA. That maybe so.  
The Greeks knew how to display it, as both eroticism and as an Art form. 
Showing both sexes in the 'Perfect' perfection of Beauty! 
Unfortunately; the human form, especially the female human form has been in the last few decades 
since the new renaissance or as we call the sexual revolution or as is now the 'free society'. 
Denigrated to an object not of art but purely of desire, or descended into the more pornographic exploitive realms of decor art. 
*NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. * As for all his poems & s/stories.*

Heian Period - The Golden Age of...

Rolf Hedger

The Heian Period, spanning from 794 to 1185 CE, marks one of the most culturally rich and politically significant eras in Japanese history. This chapter lays the groundwork for understanding the historical context, political dynamics, and societal structure that defined the early stages of the Heian era. The period officially began when Emperor Kanmu moved the imperial capital from Nara to Heian-kyō, present-day Kyoto. This relocation was intended to establish a new seat of power free from the influence of powerful Buddhist monasteries that had grown too entwined with politics in Nara.
The move to Heian-kyō signified more than a change in geography—it was the beginning of a new political and cultural identity. The city was meticulously planned, modeled after the Chinese capital of Chang’an, with a grid-like structure that reflected a vision of order and centralized authority. However, over time, the influence of the emperor waned as powerful aristocratic families, particularly the Fujiwara clan, rose to prominence. By marrying their daughters into the imperial family and acting as regents, the Fujiwara effectively controlled the court, shaping policy and governance from behind the scenes.
The political landscape of early Heian Japan was one of ceremonial grandeur and subtle manipulation. Real power resided in the hands of a few elite families, and the imperial court became increasingly detached from the provinces. This created a division between the cultured, refined life of the capital and the often turbulent realities of rural Japan, where local warrior clans began to assert their own authority.

Blackbook - Domi

Thibaud Benoit Tchertchian

Domi, a suburban wanker, joins a street marketing company. There, he has a genius idea that will make a mess without limits. If you are curious of French underground culture, graffiti, slang, riots, art & revolution, this is your book. 
"I was in a school called "bourgeois". And in the said school, I was automatically excluded by the associations of young rich white Parisians who had the art of intrigue and treachery in their blood. And all this beautiful world looked at each other in the white of the eye while rolling cigarettes and saying to themselves: "What the fuck am I doing here? Big, big doubt about the merits of decentralization. At least it kept me from getting up at noon, a bit like a civil servant reassured not to be unemployed..."
