Title: New lutherie
Description: "New lutherie, inharmonics, psycho-acoustics: topics and themes that are transformed into keys to understanding and inventing the music of today. The book starts with a modern analysis of orchestration in the 20th century and then moves on to contemporary music, taking into account the technical possibilities of new instruments, and proposing a grammar and an aesthetic outlook based on inharmonics and the new lutherie. A stimulus to think of the western acoustic orchestra simply as a stage in history and culture, a phenomenon that today is perhaps no longer sufficient." -- back cover.
