Another fascinating quote on page 29.

“. . . and music is often described as having two dimensions, one that accounts for tones going up in frequency (and sounding higher and higher) and another that accounts for the perceptual sense that we’ve come back home again each time we double a tone’s frequency.”

I can understand the “higher and higher” but the doubling of frequency (an octave) is quite interesting. I wonder how much this is biological and neural vs culturally learned.

And could there be a 3rd dimension, time, since all music progresses thru time as opposed to a painting which is essentially static and "frozen" in time.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
