Hey Ivan If you want to read an interesting book about music try "This is your Brain on Music: The science of a human obsession" by Daniel J. Levitin. Basically the book is about the science behind how music is created and how things such as intervals and harmony and various other aspects of music effect our minds when we listen to it. The author is both a session musician and a neuroscientist (interesting combo) and writes very well and makes it easy for non-scientists (like me!) to understand. Great book!

Musically related...
Ashley Khan's 'A love supreme: the story of John Coltrane's Signature album'. Great piece about the making of an iconic piece of music and what the artist went through. Khan's also done another similar book for Mile's Kind of Blue. Mark Lewisohn's 'The complete Beatles recording sessions: The official story of the Abbey Road years.' All the session details, notes, logs and also comments from the producers and engineers. Some great stories in there. Glenn Gould's The Glenn Gould Reader. Great insights to how the composer and classical painist thought about music, playing and composing. John Cage's Silence: Lectures and writings. and also Themes and Variations Same as Gould... Jon Savage's Englnd's Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock and also his Time Travel: From the Sex Pistols to Nirvana: Pop media and sexuality, 1977-96. Great cultural and historical resume of punk and beyond. Various: Undercurrents: the hidden wiring of modern music. Cultural contextualisation of various musical genres of the 20th C. David Toop's Ocean of Sound. His view of the cultural context of experimental music A bit more theoretical: Chris Cox and Dan Warner (eds) Audio Culture: readings in modern music. A collection of chapters from various people about modern music. Jacques Attali Noise: the political economy of music (will work well with Marx's Capital or even Guattaris and Negri's Empire) Theodore Adorno's Philosophy of Modern Music A little dated but still a core modernist Marxist view. Paul Virillo's Speed and Politics A somewhat more postmodern understanding of music Martin Heidegger's Poetry, Language, Thought His ontotheological and phenomenological understanding of art as aisthesis (sensuous apprehension) or aesthetic experience Georges Bataille's Inner Experience and also Visions of Excess Bataille's very different, almost antihumanist (in the philosophical sense) and non-phenomenological, take on aesthetic excessive experience. Maurice Blanchot's Writing of the Disaster and also his Literature and the Right to Death in his Work of Fire. Blanchot's discussion of how art informs and is informed by Being. He, to some extent, tries to bring Bataille and Heidegger in to contact. Yve-Alain Bois and Rosalind Krauss's Formless: A user's guide. their attempt to adopt Bataille's informe as a means to theorise modern art (and you can easily transpose that to experimental music and improvisation). Krauss's Optical Unconscious overlaps with Formless quite a bit but without the concept of the informe as leitmotif. Jean-Luc Nancy's Birth to Presence How art (and music) affects Being, being and identity - so quite a bit of reliance on Heidegger but also draws on Derrida and Hegel. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
