As the authors and contributors dive more deeply into each other’s Western traditions of expertise, a surprising commonality emerges between music and technology – a commonality rooted in ignorance toward the power of indigeneity. This is an unexplored area of inquiry in both engineering and music. Each discipline follows rigorous traditions in Western academic institutions that have not only disregarded but have demeaned ancestral and indigenous traditions. By bringing together diverse artists and engineers, this exploration examines how engaging with non-Western knowledge can alter the understanding of Western experts in any field UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58399-5 ER -
