Quantum Mechanics and Avant-Garde Music Shadows of the Void

“For me, its clear chronologies, succinct summaries of scientific developments and detailed bibliographies provide an invaluable reference. A reader with little or no prior knowledge of contemporary music would doubtless gain a significant understanding of the history of Western music. … Quantum Mechanics and Avant-Garde Music is a thought provoking, engaging work, testament to an enquiring mind with prodigious artistic and intellectual ambitions.” (Edmund Hunt, TEMPO, Vol. 79 (313), July, 2025) 

"If you are seeking a book to celebrate a century of quantum mechanics, Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin's Quantum Mechanics and AvantGarde Music could be a refreshing answer. ... this charming and intriguing book takes readers through that entrance and beyond.” (Sharon Ann Holgate, TLS The Times Literary Supplement, the-tls.co.uk, May 16, 2025)

“This book has been published at the time when the world is celebrating the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics and the 110th anniversary of Einstein's general relativity. So, this is the right time for such a book to be presented to its readers. Indeed, this book is for general readers as well as for experts who want to explore connection between modern physics and specifically Quantum mechanics and music..” (Kanan Purkayastha, Daily Sun, daily-sun.com, January 16, 2025) 

“This is a fascinating and unique book about the parallel development of, and occasional interactions between, modern physics and contemporary classical music. … this is a thoroughly engrossing book for anyone interested in the cultural and intellectual overlaps between science and music.” (Popular Science, popsciencebooks.blogspot.com, October 21, 2024) 

“... In dem Buch über die moderne Physik und die Avantgardemusik wird jeder etwas finden, das ihm oder ihr Vergnügen macht und immer neue Einsichten beschert ... Man muss nur richtig zuhӧren, zusehen und zupacken.” (Prof. Dr. Ernst Peter Fischer, in: Naturwissenschaftliche Rundschau, Jg. 78, Heft 2, 2025)
