Andrei Covaciu Pogorilowski

Pogorilowski's musical conceptions clearly come across as hard earned, serious and very well considered. The man has really done his homework, and the book's accompanying bibliography could keep you reading for a good couple of years. It offers a great resource. Pogorilowski's contribution adds a systematic bent that might encourage & enable musicians to more deliberately cultivate time in new ways in their own work.

Very thoroughly researched and well presented. This book opens up a world of, as yet, untapped compositional possibilities. If nothing else, the authors exhaustive research into the psychological perception of music, rhythm and tempo, makes this book worth a read. The theoretical discipline of western 'classical' music is perhaps a little guilty of having focussed too much on the harmony side of music with a distinct lack of treatises on rhythm, tempo and time. Here's one book that seeks to address the balance.
