Tools and methods of modern science have been employed to probe into musical phenomena and Indian music history. No other term is perhaps so operatively basic as the tonic-drone in melodic music and today the tambura is the most important drone in Indian music. The physical and auditory tonal spectra of this instrument have bee studied. Further, the immense importance of the emergence of the drone in Indian music history has been discussed at length, in terms of neuro-physiological dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Musical scales - particularly the sruti - have posed enormous problems. It is posited here in that this is due to the confusion of two systems - one of harps and the other of fingerboard instruments. Details of experiments on the measurements of sruti-s have also been given. So also studies in gamaka and its psychological significance have been discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e A fundamental theory in \u003ca href=\"\/it\/book\/Philosophy\/aesthetics\"\u003eIndian aesthetics\u003c\/a\u003e is that of rasa. Profound as it is, its scope in relation to music has to be evaluated. The results of experiments carried out show that this theory may not fit into musical aesthetics, in toto and it is now adumbrated; similarly the time theory of raga-s also seems to be of questionable application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Concept of the information theory and other statistical methods have been applied to study the classification and the forms of raga-s with very promising results.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The book, thus, spans across questions of methodology, dynamics of history, musical scales, non-conscious elements in music, raga-rasa, raga-rupa and musical perception. It is an invitation to an \"adventure of ideas\" and a reorientation to Indian musicology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Dr. B.

The Poona University awarded him a Ph.D. for his research in the psychoacoustics of speech and a summary of his dissertation was published by the Berlin University. For his pioneering work on the tonal structure of the tambura he was awarded the Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal's first Doctorate in Musicology (Sangit Acarya). Dr. Deva has specialized in the psychophysics of the Indian music, ethno-musicology and the study of musical instruments. He had training in vocal music in Santiniketan (Rabindra Sangit) and with Pt. V.N. Patwardhan, Ustad Amanali Khan and Pt. Kesavbua Ingale. The author is associated with many learned bodies and is a Founder Fellow of the Acoustical Society of India and an Associate Founder Fellow of the Indian Musicological Society.
