Acoustics and musical phenomenology are like two sides of the same coin. The former analyzes the objective structure of sound, while the latter explores how this structure becomes alive in human consciousness. Together, they help us understand why music is so profound, not only because it is an impressive physical phenomenon but because, through sound, it reaches the deepest levels of our consciousness.
