Hey Beato nerds

[Aqua Letifer]

Not really Beato news, but if you like him, you might also like Ted Gioia. (Matter of fact, Beato interviewed Gioia a few videos back.)

An excerpt from his Substack:

As promised, I’m publishing my new book on Substack. I will share it in installments—my current plan is to send out one or two sections each month.

Prologue
Introduction

The Hero with a Thousand Songs
Why Is the Oldest Book in Europe a Work of Music Criticism?
What Do Conductors Really Do?
Is There a Science of Musical Transformation in Human Life?
What Did Robert Johnson Encounter at the Crossroads?
Where Did Musicology Come From?
Can Songs Actually Replace Philosophy?
Were the First Laws Sung?
Why Do Heroes Always Have Theme Songs?
What Is Really Inside the Briefcase in Pulp Fiction?
Where Do Music Genres Come From?
Can Music Still Do All This Today?

Below are the dedication, epigraphs, prologue, and introduction. I will share chapter one in a few days time.

That is doubtful.

Beato was on Sean Carrol’s podcast recently. Carrol is a top physicist and all around thinker about stuff. Interesting to see Beato cross paths with him.
