Richard Parncutt Biography

Richard Parncutt is one of the most popular and richest Musicologist who was born on October 24, 1957 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Richard Parncutt, a native Australian academic, was born 24 October 1957 in Melbourne. He has been professor of systematic musicology at Karl-Franzens- Universitat Graz in Austria since 1998. His research is focused on the psychology and music.

Based on an analysis of the global financial crises, Parncutt suggested a global wealth tax in 2012 to stabilize and reduce national debts and finance official development aid to alleviate poverty around the world. It was also proposed to finance climate change mitigation projects. Thomas Piketty, an economist, proposed a similar idea in his 2013 book Capital in the 21st Century. Parncutt supports universal unconditional basic income, and proposes to combine it with a flat income tax.

In an internet text entitled “Death penalty for global warming deniers? An objective argument…a conservative conclusion” dated 25 October 2012, Parncutt, after declaring his fundamental opposition to the death penalty in all cases including mass murderers such as Anders Behring Breivik, proposed restricting the death penalty to individuals who cause more than one million deaths, and claimed that influential “global warming deniers” could fall into that category if they slow progress toward reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and thereby cause the deaths of millions of future people. The text included a link to DeSmogBlog’s controversial list of climate change deniers. Parncutt suggested that a panel of scientists should decide whether a given individual had caused more than one million deaths. Convicts should also have the chance to reprieve to life imprisonment, if they withdraw, publicly repent and commit themselves to “participate significantly and positively over a long period in programs to reduce the effects of global warming (from jail) – using much the same means that were previously used to spread the message of denial”. He continued: “Please note that I am not directly suggesting that the threat of execution be carried out. I am simply presenting a logical argument” but then finished: “At the end of that process, some global warming deniers would never admit their mistake and as a result they would be executed. Perhaps that would be the only way to stop the rest of them. The death penalty would have been justified in terms of the enormous numbers of saved future lives.” He then doubted his argument, saying “People will be saying that Parncutt has finally lost it” – but in the year 2050 “perhaps the Pope would even turn me into a saint”.

In 2013, a disciplinary process against him was initiated by the University of Graz. Parncutt later responded to criticism on his private homepage[1].

Parncutt is the director of the Centre for Systematic Musicology (University of Graz) since 2008. He founded the conference Conference in Interdisciplinary Musicology in 2004 and became the founding academic editor of Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies in 2008. Parncutt founded the antiracist conference “Conference on Applied Interculturality Research” (2010). Parncutt’s conference was inspired by the Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology, and is organized in a similar way. He also studied the role of music and migrant identity construction in the integration of minorities.

Parncutt studied music, physics, and psychology at the University of Melbourne. He also studied physics at The University of New England in Australia. He was awarded a PhD by the University of New England in 1987. He was a guest researcher or postdoctoral fellow with Johan Sundberg, Ernst Terhardt (Munich), Annabel Cohen, Halifax, Canada, Al Bregman, and John Sloboda, Keele, England. He was a Lecturer in Psychoacoustics, Keele University, UK from 1996 to 1998.

Parncutt’s psychoacoustic model for harmony was developed from Ernst Terhardt’s 1982 general pitch algorithm. This model assumes that all audio input is treated the same way by the auditory system, regardless of whether it’s a single tone or an entire musical chord. The input to the model can be either a single complex tone or a sequence of chords. Before comparing the input spectrum with the “template”, the psychoacoustic effects are taken into consideration.

Parncutt continued that if the death penalty were limited to individuals causing more than one million deaths it might also apply to popes since the 1980s, whom he claimed to be responsible for millions of AIDS deaths for their failure to change the church’s position on contraception in the 1980s and subsequently. The paper remained on the website of the University of Graz until 24 December 2012.
