MAN Wiki

This wiki aims to serve as a useful resource on the multifaceted field of science of sound and mountaineering sport. It will integrate scientific, philosophical, historical, and practical perspectives, encompassing a wide array of academic domains that intersect with the study of sound and comtemplations on mountaineering in both natural and human contexts:

• Science of Sound: acoustics, computational acoustics; its techniques and applications;
• Nature Sciences: biomusicology and bioacoustics (P. Szöke); geological developments and its history (glaciology, geomorphology etc.), history of geological ideas (Gerald Molloy, James Dwight Dana); ornithology and avian acoustics (Charles Hartshorne, Hans A. Traber); practical fieldwork methodologies;
• Art: sound art and modern sound theories; multimedia / computer music and intelligible forms (Iannis Xenakis, Gottfried Michael Koenig); aesthetics (Carl Dahlhaus);
• Philosophy and History: history of acoustics and related ideas, philosophy of music and sound (Riccardo Martinelli); philosophy of sports (Paul Weiss); ontologies, metaphysics (such as Robert Grosseteste); the philosophy and psychology of sensation (Charles Hartshorne, Carl Stumpf, William P. Alston), auditory perception (Hermann von Helmholtz, Ernst Kurth, Charles Hartshorne, Stephen McAdams);
