info@resonance-book.com“The result is a fascinating mix of scientific theory, musical analysis, and personal history that never feels dry or didactic.”
“His humility and curiosity make the book feel more like a shared reflection than a lecture, even as the studies he cites indicate a clear understanding of the science behind sound.”
“This moving, incisive book is a great reminder of music’s power as a universal connector.”
— Kirkus Reviews · Verdict: Get It
RESONANCE: Why Music Moves Us is narrative nonfiction that argues music is not entertainment but a biological stimulus, a property of physical reality that predates anything with ears.
In RESONANCE, Ron K. Miller makes the case that music acts on the body before the mind has weighed in, in the same biological category as pain and heat. Drawing on neuroscience, acoustic physics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy of perception, the book moves from personal experience and cultural reflection into the physiology, structure, and reach of music. Structured in three parts, it is explicit about the difference between documented science, inference, and the trail beyond the evidence.
Open Channel Press is an independent publisher of intellectually serious work at the intersection of art, perception, science, and meaning.
