       Discussion on ‘Physics of Music’

   

How Sound becomes Music? will help understanding, performing and composing music.


With the training in anyone kind of music like Western, Chinese, Carnatic, Hindustani, Malay, etc,

one could extend the training to other kinds of music to explore performing with the artists of the other kind of music, 

or composing music using the music sources in the other kind of music.


Also one must be aware of the following differences.

Like Scales in Western music, Raga in Indian music, every music has its own classification, apart from its own tuning system, pitch standard and musical aesthetics.


‘We are living in a time when many music cultures are in a critical state of survival in terms of support, exposure, prestige, transmission processes, and infrastructure. This is the time for all of us who love, make, or work in music to collaborate with communities across the world to empower them to forge musical futures on their own terms. As we have seen in our research, both small and major gestures make a difference for music practices in transition and at risk, especially if the driving force behind this is not nostalgia or neo-colonialism, but appreciation of the idea that with a little effort and insight, it is possible to negotiate ecologies of musical diversity in a globalized, mediatized world.’ (https://folklife.si.edu/talkstory/sound-futures-understanding-musical-ecosystems-as-a-key-to-sustainability)

The weakening of the globalized, mediatized world is now imminent. Localized and de-mediatized world is emerging with more scope to sense the emerging new music tastes. Many music cultures, in a critical state of survival, will prove to be valuable music sources to create new music. 

Example: Title: Angkor 2020 - http://muxel.sg/ ; Cambodian style Xylophone music involving the music note structures from the South Indian Classical Music.

New music after Covid-19 is forcing new music ecosystem to collaborate to enhance the music skills to create and perform the new music, without sacrificing the musical aesthetic diversity in the world music  

We can discuss the problems encountered as well as clarify the doubts.
