Spring 2023 Issue: Outside the Music Box

Music has the power to move us in ways few other things can. It can evoke deep emotions, transcend borders and shape identities. With the advent of new technologies and methods of research, the intersection of music and science also offers fascinating insights into the nature of human perception and creativity. This issue of UC San Diego Magazine explores music in a variety of forms as well as musicians on campus and off who are making new discoveries and creating boundary-pushing art — and some who make us want to get up and dance.
