Show HN: Foundations of Music (FoM)
2 by ersinesen | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Foundations of Music is an attempt to establish a conceptual and formal foundation for understanding music. Rather than declaring what music is, FoM shows where and how music becomes possible. It provides simple explanations to complex concepts like vibrato, glissando, and portamento to outsiders. It enables new vocabulary like jazzing, jazzing aroung, jazzing along, and jazz translation which are mind refreshing, at least to me. For a sample of translation (Turkish Folk to Blues) you may see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml4pEk2hMM8 Proposed perceptual fatigue concept can be found highly controversial, but I think it may be an inspiring food for thought. In the end, FoM is a work in progress to constitute a stable ground from which new musical questions can be meaningfully explored.
