Music and the Ineffable traces a line through the physics of sound, the evolution and structure of the auditory system, and neurology/psychology of music. With these broad physical, biological and psychologicl perspectives in play, questions about the nature of music, time perception, the limitations of language and representation in capturing musical experience (the “ineffable”), and others. Oliver Sack’s Musicophilia, Vladimir Jankelevich’s Music and the Ineffable, and Henry Bergson’s Matter and Memory will serve as the core texts.
