Toekomstmuziek
Improviseren doen we allemaal dagelijks, maar met muziek wordt het opeens een heel bewuste activiteit waarin niet iedereen zich zeker bij voelt. Toch is het 'gezond' om te improviseren, zegt dr. Artur Jaschke, die onderzoek doet naar de effecten van muziek op de hersenen en ons welzijn in het algemeen. Toekomstmuziek is zijn eerste boek voor een breder publiek.
Mind The Music
Music has a way of minding our brains, and Mind the Music explores the effects that it has on our cognition, emotion, and behaviour. As well as into the fabric of our culture, music is woven into the fabric of our humanity – but where does it come from, and how does it help us to learn?
​
Intuition and improvisation turn out to be critical to understanding our own embodied cognition. We have hunches in a way that computers do not.
But as technology takes over what were once human tasks, there is a temptation and even tendency to enjoy our creature comforts while neglecting our natural faculties. So how do we re-learn the ability to improvise, to help us find our place in the nexus of human and machine?
​
Mind the Music is a reminder that it is important to keep your brain active, and an argument for the glory of intuitive choices. It dares you to improvise and dance to the music of the mind.
