 Desire and Knowledge: the Dead Seize the Living — Ars Industrialis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
My concept of general organology would be rather the equivalent of Simondon's mechanology, but in which the living is itself included in the totality of transductive relations.
Furthermore, this relation to technical objects depends on, or rather is inscribed in, a relationship to social organisations, constituted by the other systems, and in which the rules of a superego inscribe themselves such that the brain has no other choice than to interiorise them without playing a part in their constitution.
I recall this point by way of insisting on the fact that the emergence of this non-living memory is also that which opens onto the Freudian question of the emergence of desire as a defunctionalisation of natural organs, or “organic repression” linked to the conquest of the upright position.

 Victor Mahillon (1841-1924)
Selected music scholars (including musicologists and ethnomusicologists) whose works are analyzed and contrasted herein are: Victor Mahillon and his successors Curt Sachs and Eric von Hornbostel (as one main group), and ethnomusicologists Chaitanya Deva and Margaret Kartomi as the second and third respectively.
Kartomi classifies individual instruments as well as ensembles, which I believe, is not a practical system and could lead to more confusion in understanding organology.
I believe the sounds produced by the human body, animals and birds are more suitably classified in the field of organology than in the category of ensemble.

 Miller Flute Collection: His Life, Work, and Contributions: Introduction
The contributions Dr. Miller made to organology are without parallel; his collection is the finest of its type ever assembled.
As a whole, the Miller collection is remarkably complete from every aspect and constitutes a musicological unit covering all phases of the flute, obtained in many countries and ranging from the prehistoric pipes to the latest models.
Therefore, it is probable that his work in science was, to him, inseparable from his avocation of organology, and that one was nurtured by the other.
