Concept and Design in Music: A Comprehensive Approach to Theory

Rating:
Summary: Pushing Musical Limits
Review: I have been playing music for the last 14 years in one form or another. I started out as a rock guitarist and am now producing experimental electronica. I bought this book about seven years ago, started reading it, then had to put it down. This book is NOT for beginners.

Along with "The Advancing Guitarist" by Mick Goodrick, this book is intended to push your musical boundaries. The emphasis is on orchestrated music, but I have found application in all the music I do and love. Sherman approaches music theory in an exciting, creative, and stimulating manner.

If you feel that your art is stagnating, buy this book. It will make you explore facets of music you never considered seeking out, and I guarantee a fascinating journey.
