商品描述

Explore the intriguing ties between Pauli's exclusion principle and Schoenberg's dodecaphony, and the echoes of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in Stockhausen and Cage's compositions. This book delves into these connections, revealing the fusion of modern physics and avant-garde music. From philosophical musings on time to the transformation of algebra into musical notation, it uncovers the intersection of mathematics, physics, and music.

With meticulous research, the author demonstrates how quantum physics and relativity shaped both fields in the 20th century. Through historical anecdotes, he unveils the musical endeavors of physicists like Planck and Einstein, connecting their theories to contemporary musical techniques. Accessible to all readers, the text offers a fresh perspective on the convergence of science and art, serving as a bridge for scientists, musicians, and the curious alike. Whether you're new to physics or music, this book provides an illuminating journey into the interconnected realms of creativity and discovery.

"Fascinating details and anecdotes accompany this engaging account of the emergence of dramatic new ideas and forms in music over the centuries..."

David Politzer, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics.

"A thought-provoking, stimulating, and highly original exploration of deep metaphorical links between music and physics...Highly recommended."

Prof. Ian Stewart FRS, author, What's the Use?

"An astonishing book!"

Tristan Murail, composer and co-creator of the "spectral" technique.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

探索保利排除原則與肖恩伯格的十二音技法之間的引人入勝的聯繫,以及海森堡不確定性原則在史托克豪森和凱奇作品中的回響。本書深入探討這些關聯,揭示現代物理學與前衛音樂的融合。從對時間的哲學思考到代數轉化為音樂符號,它揭示了數學、物理學與音樂的交集。

透過細緻的研究,作者展示了量子物理學和相對論如何在20世紀塑造這兩個領域。透過歷史轶事,他揭示了物理學家如普朗克和愛因斯坦的音樂追求,將他們的理論與當代音樂技術相連結。這本書對所有讀者都易於理解,提供了科學與藝術交匯的新視角,成為科學家、音樂家和好奇者之間的橋樑。無論你是物理學或音樂的新手,本書都提供了一段啟發性的旅程,深入探索創造力與發現的相互領域。

「引人入勝的細節和轶事伴隨著這本關於音樂中戲劇性新思想和形式出現的引人入勝的敘述……」

——大衛·波利策,2004年諾貝爾物理學獎得主。

「一部引人深思、刺激且極具創意的探索,揭示音樂與物理學之間深刻的隱喻聯繫……強烈推薦。」

——伊恩·斯圖爾特教授,作者,《有什麼用?》

「一本驚人的書!」

——特里斯坦·穆拉伊,作曲家及「光譜」技術的共同創作者。

作者簡介

Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin is a distinguished composer and a pianist, credited with three operas and over 150 music compositions, including expansive symphonic works. His creations have graced renowned international venues like Berlin Philharmonie, Carnegie Hall, and Wiener Konzerthaus. With three CDs released in Germany, his experience as a composer and a pianist has provided a unique perspective in the realm of music.
Having pursued education in Kazakhstan and postgraduate studies in prominent Italian music institutions, he has mastered advanced composition techniques. Engaging in regular exchanges, masterclasses, and conferences across Europe has fostered personal connections with leading figures in contemporary music, enriching his understanding of the evolving landscape.
Delving into the physical aspects, the author has engaged in discussions with established professors and specialists in quantum physics, presenting in scientific seminars. Trips to Germany have provided unique insights into Werner Heisenberg's connection to music, including personal meetings with his children and access to archival material, revealing the profound role of music in Heisenberg's intellectual life.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin 是一位傑出的作曲家和鋼琴家,創作了三部歌劇和超過150首音樂作品,包括廣泛的交響樂作品。他的創作曾在著名的國際場館演出,如柏林音樂廳、卡內基音樂廳和維也納音樂廳。隨著在德國發行的三張CD,他作為作曲家和鋼琴家的經驗為音樂領域提供了獨特的視角。

他在哈薩克斯坦接受教育,並在意大利著名音樂機構進行研究生學習,掌握了高級作曲技術。定期參加歐洲的交流、碩士班和會議,使他與當代音樂的領軍人物建立了個人聯繫,豐富了他對不斷演變的音樂環境的理解。

在探討物理方面時,作者與量子物理的知名教授和專家進行了討論,並在科學研討會上發表演講。前往德國的旅行讓他獲得了有關維爾納·海森堡與音樂之間聯繫的獨特見解,包括與海森堡的子女的個人會面以及獲取檔案資料,揭示了音樂在海森堡智識生活中的深遠角色。
