A mind for music.

  • More on the Paleolithic flute itself (warning: long). The musicology stuff in this link is crap, but there are pictures and diagrams of the flute.
  • Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter, therefore, ye soft pipes play on... Music from the femur of a cave bear -- and whales endlessly rocking in the cradle of the deep -- the world is very rich!
  • A book recommendation for those interested in this kind of stuff: The Origins of Music
  • Another book recommedation: Conceptualizing Music.
  • Here's my concept: use your mind less and your body more.
