Due to a recent incident which upset my son in his music class, I set out to reconfirm notes I had taken from John Sloboda. John Sloboda is one of the world' leading music psychologists. Little did I know this when I attended his lecture 2003. Still to this day, this lecture and the research astound and resound with me, especially my notes about the connection between music: emotion, performance, intrinsic and extrinsic motivators within the player. Soon afterwards he started http://www.iraqbodycount.org/
Today while searching, I discovered at http://www.oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk/ where he is the Executive Director. It was Brian Eno's words which motivated me to write you about this book, as I've great repect for him and his understanding of the future.
