Why do we make music? Why do certain sounds or music so irresistibly resonate with us? Music is a device which we have, over the vast expanse of time, collectively shaped, with which we communicate and share musical feelings. To study this fascinating piece of technology, we will need as many approaches from acoustic and psychoacoustics, to organology (that of musical instruments) and theories of composition. And in this pursuit, the unity-of-action-and-knowledge （知行合一）becomes crucial. Let’s open our ears, use our hands and make noise! We are a part of a new sonic culture and we shape future music.
