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.
On 20 July 2011, it was announced that the music video was a Finalist for two MTV Video Music Awards (VMA’s), taking its place under the categories of “Best Special Effects” and “Best Editing.” [41] At the ceremony in Los Angeles, the video lost out to “E.T.” (Katy Perry/Kanye West) and “Rolling in the Deep” , respectively.
In music theory, the spiral array model is an extended type of pitch space. A mathematical model involving concentric helices (an "array of spirals"), it represents human perceptions of pitches, chords, and keys in the same geometric space. It was proposed in 2000 by Elaine Chew in her MIT doctoral thesis Toward a Mathematical Model of Tonality ...
Math the Band was originally the solo project of sixteen-year-old [12] Kevin Steinhauser created in 2002, [11] "doing his own thing" after getting kicked out of other bands he was in during high school for reasons he attributed to him "not being any good" – most notably, Christian pop punk band The Schwartz where he played guitar and was the only non-religious member.
When that video raked up hundreds of thousands of views in a matter of days, it inspired him to reimagine other ways to teach math, including using the tune to Swift's "Anti-Hero" to help students ...
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 ...
Sketches were presented in various formats, including music videos featuring a particular subject in mathematics and taught the subject through song (e.g., Roman numerals, obtuse and acute angles, percentages, negative numbers, etc.) or comedic sketches (e.g., General Mathpital, a parody of General Hospital; Nobody's Inn, a parody of Fawlty ...
Algorithmic composition is the technique of using algorithms to create music.. Algorithms (or, at the very least, formal sets of rules) have been used to compose music for centuries; the procedures used to plot voice-leading in Western counterpoint, for example, can often be reduced to algorithmic determinacy.
