Fascinating, Andy!
Will recommend this reading to my Intro. to Creative Process class. Thank you!
The following books are sources in my own book on the semiotic theory of iconic realism. You might find them to be interesting reads since they relate to this topic:
Levitin, Daniel J. This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of Human Obsession. London: Penguin, 2007.
Mithen, Steven. The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, Mind, and Body. Boston: Harvard UP, 2006.
thanks for those titles, Jeanne, will check them out. best wishes, andy
