Is Music Math (and vice versa)?
Physicist Glenn Elert has included a nice exposition on the mathematical basis of music in his online physics text (click here).
From Beck "Sea Change" DVD-A
Glenn keeps the tech description at a “Popular Science” level for much of it, but descends to undergrad-college-level in parts. So there’s something for everyone. (nice illustrations too.)
If you think about the content, I believe you’ll emerge with a thing or two to enrich your listening – at home or in live venues.

PS The pic at right shows some anamolies I’ve detected on a popular DVD-A. I am shocked and amazed at what I find in some “hi rez” material. (At least this one goes above 22kHz – some don’t.)
