About this listen

Vic Tandy was a level-headed scientist, but there was no denying it: at this late hour in his lonely lab at Coventry University, he kept seeing a grey apparition out of the corner of his eye. Bathed in a cold sweat, his heart pounding in his chest, he questioned his own rational mind—could this really be a supernatural encounter? What on Earth could be sending such an eerie shudder through his body?

Strange frequencies are all around us—in fact, there may be no limit to the marvellous power of vibration. So catch a wave with musical adventurer Richard Mainwaring and take a wild ride across the keys of his infinite piano. Along the way, you'll join the quest for the world's loneliest whale, whose tragically out-of-tune song has haunted oceanographers for decades. You'll discover what strange melodies are hidden in rats' whiskers and rainbows. And you'll find out how vibrations good and bad govern more or less everything around you.

The focus is on vibration in its mainly forms, contexts and human uses, both mechanical and electro-magnetic, presented in an approachable manner from a musical perspective. Having been given the hardback of this book as a present, I next listened to it on Audible, as it is read by the author himself. I enjoyed the book in its written form, but on Audible it truly comes to life, not only because of its vocal narration but because of the additional soundscape!
