Acoustics, Music, and Science

Most of these articles are technical, but are great reading. If you are a student doing research on modern acoustics, music, or the physics of music then this is a great place to start. If you just want to gain a greater understanding of why you horn plays wonderful melodies instead of honking like a goose, then have a read!
