Pogorilowski's musical conceptions clearly come across as hard earned, serious and very well considered. The man has really done his homework, and the book's accompanying bibliography could keep you reading for a good couple of years. It offers a great resource. Pogorilowski's contribution adds a systematic bent that might encourage & enable musicians to more deliberately cultivate time in new ways in their own work.
Very thoroughly researched and well presented. This book opens up a world of, as yet, untapped compositional possibilities. If nothing else, the authors exhaustive research into the psychological perception of music, rhythm and tempo, makes this book worth a read. The theoretical discipline of western 'classical' music is perhaps a little guilty of having focussed too much on the harmony side of music with a distinct lack of treatises on rhythm, tempo and time. Here's one book that seeks to address the balance.
