More about the book

Exploring the intersection of music and modern philosophy, Robin Maconie delves into the contributions of influential figures like Einstein, Freud, and Gertrude Stein. The book examines how concepts of time, existence, and identity shape the understanding of music and technology, particularly in the context of avant-garde movements. By analyzing the ideas of composers such as Schoenberg and theorists like Wittgenstein and Duchamp, Maconie presents a thought-provoking perspective on the evolution of music in the 20th century.
