An invaluable interdisciplinary study that addresses three traditional topics in music

The narrative follows Dr. Strabismus as he attempts to craft a comprehensive theory of music, only to be thwarted by music's inherent self-deconstructive nature and the challenges of postmodernism.

The work delves into the intricate relationship between music and meaning, highlighting the philosophical and theoretical complexities that accompany the art form.
