  2. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)

    Monaural beats are combined into one sound before they actually reach the human ear, as opposed to formulated in part by the brain itself, which occurs with a binaural beat. This means that monaural beats can be used effectively via either headphones or speakers. It also means that those without two ears can listen to and receive the benefits."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_and_mathematics

    Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music. It uses mathematics to study elements of music such as tempo, chord progression, form, and meter. The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number theory.

    Godfried Toussaint (1944–2019) was a Belgian–Canadian computer scientist who worked as a professor of computer science for McGill University and New York University.His main professional expertise was in computational geometry, [2] but he was also a jazz drummer, [3] held a long-term interest in the mathematics of music and musical rhythm, and since 2005 held an affiliation as a researcher ...

  5. Beat (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(music)

    Both terms correspond to the direction taken by the hand of a conductor. This idea of directionality of beats is significant when you translate its effect on music. The crusis of a measure or a phrase is a beginning; it propels sound and energy forward, so the sound needs to lift and have forward motion to create a sense of direction.

  6. Sentence (mathematical logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_(mathematical_logic)

    Sentences are then built up out of atomic sentences by applying connectives and quantifiers. A set of sentences is called a theory; thus, individual sentences may be called theorems. To properly evaluate the truth (or falsehood) of a sentence, one must make reference to an interpretation of the theory.

  7. Euclidean rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_rhythm

    Although the beats are technically distributed with ideal spacing between the beats—they are either two steps apart or three—we still have a problem where the beats are "clumped" at the start and spaced out at the end. A more concrete definition of "equidistant" might ask that these spacings ("x ." and "x . .") are also distributed evenly.

  8. Pulse (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_(music)

    Clear quarter note pulse in 4 4 at a tempo of =120 Play ⓘ.At =600 the pulse becomes a drone Play ⓘ, while at =30 the pulse becomes disconnected sounds Play ⓘ.. While ideal pulses are identical, when pulses are variously accented, this produces two- or three-pulse pulse groups such as strong–weak and strong–weak–weak [4] and any longer group may be broken into such groups of two and ...

  9. Rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm

    The Oxford English Dictionary defines rhythm as "The measured flow of words or phrases in verse, forming various patterns of sound as determined by the relation of long and short or stressed and unstressed syllables in a metrical foot or line; an instance of this". [3] Rhythm is related to and distinguished from pulse, meter, and beats:
