Production, Perception and Cognition

  • First Online:
Signal Analysis of Hindustani Classical Music

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to muse over the basic principles behind the making of music instead of presenting a synopsis of techniques and technologies used in modern day music production. In the introductory chapter we attempted a comprehensive definition of music. Let us add further that music as an acoustical emotive (except for the emotion of anger, disgust) communication, generally universal in nature. The simultaneity of the three elements acoustics, emotion, and universality (not in the absolute sense) is integral to the definition.
