The unfortunate thing about this bizarre coincidence is that it enables one to see at a glance what ravages the intervening 25 years have wreaked. And it gives the impression that I have not cut my hair during that period, but have simply gone grey and put it in curlers.Philip Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986655706443117158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-41213091198292479642010-05-22T11:16:12.769-07:002010-05-22T11:16:12.769-07:00A heads-up, in case your mum hasn't already to...A heads-up, in case your mum hasn't already told you, but you managed to get your 'pretty' mug in this weeks County Press, twice.<br /><br />Once in a girly wig, and once dressed as Robert Hook.<br /><br />:))JimmyGirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548795180321590463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-36513167537480595692010-05-12T12:50:23.832-07:002010-05-12T12:50:23.832-07:00"The real problem is that the denialists seem...<i>"The real problem is that the denialists seem to have endless time on their hands."</i><br /><br />Imagine the problem if they had the same government funding that the global warming scientists 'earn'.JimmyGirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548795180321590463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-22858207371157642572010-05-12T03:05:08.178-07:002010-05-12T03:05:08.178-07:00Hi,

Having spent 5 years labouring my way through a PhD on emotion and music, I have to say I am very envious of your ability to come a field and comprehend it in one renaissance-man style volume. I think your book is streets better than the alternatives, only matched in some respects by Ani Patel's book on music and language which in any case has a different aim and audience. <br /><br />That said, I think I may be able to offer an answer to the question you pose on page 317 of where the further emotional content comes from, on the basis of my own research (some of which has just appeared in Music Perception, I can send you a copy of that paper). I can also offer a very tentative solution to the paradox of what timbre is, and why it's so hard to define in musical terms. If you wish to contact me on this, my email is ps401ra@gold.ac.uk<br /><br />best wishes - apologies for contacting you this way, but I don't have any other way of doing so, as you don’t seem to have an email address on the net, presumably for the obvious reasons of avoiding spam and crank emails.DarwinRulesOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14764288659773265957noreply@blogger.com
