Extraterrestrial Organology: The Study Of Future Wind Instruments

Extraterrestrial Organology is a photobook meant to open the doors to a larger realm. If not the doors maybe it will lead to the keys. It is one man's humble attempt to glimpse a future of musicological diversity. A future not based on tradition but experimentation. A future where man and alien coexist in the exploration of music as well as space. As mankind's knowledge increases he will become less bound by the technological limitations imposed on him in the creation and manufacture of musical instruments. What will wind instruments look and sound like one hundred years from now or one thousand? What will a bassoon look like in 3000 A.D.? How would a race of men destined to be born and die in interstellar space make music? What kind of physiological, cultural and sociological changes will come from our contact with aliens and our migration into space? How will this affect the music we listen too? What kind of musical instruments might an alien with a completely different biology make and play? This book can only speculate. Its real purpose is to inspire you the reader to dream greater visions than what I have presented. To inspire you to make your own unique musical instrument and by doing so maybe bring happiness and joy to the world.
