Pourquoi les Tsiganes pleurent-ils en jouant de la musique ? Que se passe-t-il pendant les funérailles, quand la musique se superpose aux lamentations des femmes ? Par quelles stratégies les musiciens touchent-ils leur public ? C'est à ces questions que l'ethnomusicologue tente de répondre à partir de l'observation de la vie musicale d'une communauté tsigane de Transylvanie.

Nonlinearities are a crucial and founding principle in nearly all musical systems, may they be musical instruments, timbre or rhythm perception and production, or neural networks of music perception. This volume gives an overview about present and past research in these fields. In Musical Acoustics, on the one hand the nonlinearities in musical instruments often produce the musically interesting features. On the other, musical instruments are nonlinear by nature, and tone production is the result of synchronization and self-organization within the instruments. Furthermore, as nearly all musical instruments are driven by impulses an Impulse Pattern Formulation (IPF) is suggested, an iterative framework holding for all musical instruments. It appears that this framework is able to reproduce the complex and perceptionally most salient initial transients of musical instruments. In Music Psychology, nonlinearities are present in all areas of musical features, like pitch, timbre, or rhythm perception. In terms of rhythm production and motion, self-organizing models are the only ones able to explain sudden phase-transitions while tapping. Self-organizing neural nets, both of the Kohonen and the connectionist types are able to reproduce tonality, timbre similarities, or phrases. The volume also gives an overview about the signal processing tools suitable to analyze sounds in a nonlinear way, both in the Fourier-domain, like Wavelets or correlograms, and in the phase-space domain, like fractal dimensions or information structures. Furthermore, it gives an introduction to Physical Modeling of musical instruments using Finite-Element and Finite-Difference methods, to cope with the high complexity of instrument bodies and wave couplings. It appears, that most musical systems are self-organized ones, and only therefore able to produce all unexpected and interesting features of music, both in production and perception.

Through four key themes, this book explores the relationships between language, music, and the brain and the crosstalk between them: song and dance as a bridge between music and language; multiple levels of structure from brain to behaviour to culture; the semantics of internal and external worlds and the role of emotion; and the evolution and development of language. Specially commissioned expositions of current research provide access to experts across disciplines and to non-experts.
