About the work
Music Before Meaning is an essay on musicality understood as a level prior to meaning, elaborated emotion, and cultural interpretation. The work explores the relationship between music and neuroscience through the hypothesis that there are primary perceptual and associative mechanisms that organize sonic experience before it is translated into language, symbolism, or aesthetic judgment. From this perspective, the book examines processes of auditory perception, acoustic stability, subcortical association, anticipation, memory, and pattern formation, in order to propose a structural view of musicality as a biological, cognitive, and formal phenomenon.
