Submitted : Spring 2020

There is a beautiful dance that happens between music, mathematics, and physics that we are not aware of. When this dance is perfectly executed, it can ring with such harmony that one can develop deep emotion and connection to a song. With this project, this dance will be broken down to understand the relationship of why music sounds good to the human ear. Taking a look at musical elements such as harmony, rhythm and melody, while applying math and physics concepts, we can understand why we enjoy music.
