Just what the doctor ordered for me!
I've been playing with music and mathematics for a while, and I had a thought that someone far more mathematical and musical than myself could correlate tried and true mathematical constructs to music other than defining patterns via Markov processes, neural or evolutionary algorithms, or simply generating random melodies. Pulling these patterns into 12 point space is really interesting.
- adamnemecek 10y agoYou should check out music set theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory_(music) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory_(music) and also diatonic set theory, they are pretty fascinating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_set_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_set_theory .
- eggy 10y agoThanks! I was just turned on to SYZYGYS's music based on Harry Partch's 43-microtone scale. It is hard to stop listening to it today, but maybe because it's novel for me. Mathematics is all about patterns and relationships, so music is an aural expression of mathematics as has been said by so many others, yet I never tire of seeing (and hearing) examples of this.
