Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this beautifully crafted meditation on sound, time, and human ingenuity, Taras Kovaliv invites readers to trace the lineage of music itself-from the hunter's bow to the birth of the stringed instrument. The SINGING BOW explores how the tools that once served survival evolved into tools of expression, weaving together art, physics, and evolution in one elegant arc.Written with lyrical precision and illustrated through vivid thought experiments, this short work connects the core geometry behind resonance and the shared DNA of weapon and instrument. Along the way, it introduces the Convex Arc Formula-the breakthrough geometric principle at the heart of Kovaliv's VP-1 Superguitar, developed under his innovative brand TARAS GUITARS. This curved-neck design redefines the relationship between hand, string, and sound, enabling outward string bending and unlocking new frontiers of polyphonic playability and tonal expression.A visionary companion to RETHINKING INTELLIGENCE, RETHINKING SHAPES, and Diary of a Digital Intelligence, The SINGING BOW celebrates the harmony between design and destiny-an inspiring read for musicians, makers, and seekers of form and meaning. - This item is printed on demand.
