Royal Music Association - Philosophy and Music.

Of course it would be more accurate to say mostly 'analytic philosophy' and music.  
q.v. should you doubt it this array of
Pictures from aeons ago, taken in 2012, including Andrew Bowie, Lydia Goehr, Roger Scruton, et al and sundry, all rescued from imminent 'closing of the net,' i.e., the shuttering of Picasa. 

Drat on that last.

"Lydia Goehr now raises a useful question by noting what Adorno does beyond what we take him to be saying." 20 July 2012 Tweet. Ye olde.

I also offered a paper there that was in production as The Hallelujah Effect (published in 2013) sort of like the picture below which was taken at the Phenomenology and Media conference in San Diego (I took all the pictures in London ... I also took pictures in San Diego, but not this one...)

  

The book was about k.d. lang, just one song, one version...

In the context of the culture of the cover (as such)

covering the "most famous" song in the world, Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah...

 Which was to be sure about King David. And his song.

By way of the radio face, as Theodor Adorno wrote about the Current of Music 

And Adorno and the Princeton Radio Project (and Adorno) and all that jazz

And the space of sound. And time.

And a fair amount of digital reflection...

Just to get to Nietzsche and Music.  That is to say, literally for Nietzsche tragedy, the Greek music drama...

Here's Orpheus. 

 And the becoming-human of dissonance, that is, of course, compositionally speaking, Beethoven

Just imagine ... Joan Baez and Patti Smith -- in Stockholm, just yesterday
