Synopsis
Unlock the science behind music and sound. This book synthesizes early 20th‑century acoustics with practical demonstrations to show how tones, pitches, and harmonics are made and heard. Clear experiments and illustrated diagrams illuminate how instruments, voices, and recording tools produce the sounds we enjoy every day.
In these Lowell Institute lectures, you’ll discover how sound waves behave, how pitch is measured, and how tone quality arises from harmony and resonance. The text blends theory with hands‑on methods for recording and analyzing musical sounds, making complex ideas accessible.
What you’ll experience
- A grounded introduction to sound, pitch, and loudness
- Ways scientists measure and interpret harmonic components
- Insights into how horns, diaphragms, and resonators shape recordings
- Visual demonstrations of vibration patterns and tone quality
Ideal for curious readers of science and music alike, this edition gives a practical window into the art and science of sound.
