Synopsis

Mathemusical Conversations celebrates the understanding of music through mathematics, and the appreciation of mathematics through music. This volume is a compilation of the invited talks given at the Mathemusical Conversations workshop that took place in Singapore from 13‐15 February 2015, organized by Elaine Chew in partnership with Gérard Assayag for the scientific program and with Bernard Lanskey for the artistic program. The contributors are world experts and leading scholars, writing on the intersection of music and mathematics. They also focus on performance and composition, two topics which are foundational both to the understanding of human creativity and to the creation of tomorrow's music technologies. This book is essential reading for researchers in both music and mathematics. It will also appeal more broadly to scholars, students, musicians, and anyone interested in new perspectives on the intimate relationship between these two universal human activities.

Revue de presse

I would recommend this book as a general introduction to various ways in which mathematics and computation might be combined with music. The lack of requirement for prior mathematical knowledge would make it well-suited for use as teaching material for university courses in music theory or music psychology ... Empirical musicologists should find that Mathemusical Conversations provides a stimulating change in perspective from the usual scientific literature, as well as suggesting some interesting potential directions for future empirical work. --Empirical Musicology Review

The value of this book is as a document of a clearly interesting event. Those who want to know what happened at the event will get a good account from reading the book. Those who are interested in what mathematics and music might have to say to each other will find many examples here. --Musicae Scientiae
