【演講題目】Towards an Intergalactic Music Theory of Everything 【講 者】Prof. Daniel Chua(香港大學音樂系教授兼系主任) 【演講時間】05/24 (Fri) 15:00 【演講地點】音樂學研究所 105 室 【演講摘要】
This paper explores the possibility of a music theory for aliens, inspired by NASA’s Golden Record of Earth’s greatest hits rocketed into space in 1977 on the Voyager mission. The question is: why? Why explore such a posthuman-proalien idea? Is this just pie-in-the-sky for a distant future and a distant galaxy? I suggest that such speculations bring music theory back to earth and back to the future.
